Turbos

Tuesday, 26 January 2010 23:09 Projects - Lotus 98T Renault

Still working on this :-)

Build the turbos using some parts of the 99T and a MP4/4, IIRC... The 99T turbo system is a bit different to the 98T Renault-powered car. Many pieces need to be scratch build.

The fuel system and the cooling lines are just dry-fitted.

Also the engine mount system was made from two stacked pieces of alu.

Lotus 98T progress

Monday, 26 October 2009 20:42 Projects - Lotus 98T Renault

I will try to convert a Tamiya 99T kit. I have a MFH 97T kit (old version - the full metal thing), which will donate some parts.

Modifications

Modified / extended tank
added front brake cylinders
added steering column
removeable steering wheel
new analogue cockpit control panel
self made carbon decals for monocoque
reworked rear diffusor

I completed the front section of the monocoque. Placed some brake fluid cylinders and little wiring.
