That's an absolutely beautiful model of the famous "L&M" Can-Am car. At first I assumed it was a 1/8th scale static Tamiya kit, did'nt realize it is a Serpent 1/8 scale RC chassis underneath? and custom made billet rims? wow!
I like how he fabricated the rigging below the rear-wing.
I am lucky to have actually witnessed these cars racing back in the early 1970's here at famous Riverside International Raceway (I was probably 11 or 12 years old). They had the popular "Reynolds Aluminum" sponsored McLaren M8, the "Sunoco" sponsored Porsche 917/30, and several others. Quite a good-sized field. Riverside had the famous "S" turn section (or the "Esses"). If you were lucky to sit in the grand-stands at the top of turn-6 the whole fleet of CanAm's would come roaring towards you, snaking through the esses, in one long single file formation. The roar of the many Chevy V-8's sounded cool, very similiar to hearing racing Corvette's on a road course- very strong deep roar.
However, that famous Sunoco Porsche 917 (driven by Mark Donahue) sounded incredibly different from everything else. It is a 16-cylinder twin-turbo, can't describe it . You did'nt hear it until it got right up in front of you. You hear the whistle of the turbo, then you'd hear the deep growl right after. This car was out of it's class. It would lead every lap with ease, did'nt seem fair
If I can dig up my dad's original pictures (35mm slides) I'll post a few here.
I also have a few Serpent RC cars (purchased back in the 1990's). I run them every-so-often. Attatched is a Serpent Impact-2 1/10 scale I built. Powered by a (NovaRossi designed) Mega SX-15 engine. 2-speed gear-box, these cars really fly.
