Slot Cars
Corvette 1:32 Scale
Above – Fly Corvette C5-R in 5 Versions – these are the cars that got me back into slot racing – 36 years later!
Above – Fly C5-R – Modification of the #2 car shown in the top photo. It is an interpretation of the Atlanta 2001 salute to some of the heroes of 9-11-01, done before Fly released the Petit LeMans version.
Some of the cars have lights. The light circuit includes a capacitor to allow the lights to stay on a few seconds after the power is off:
Above – Night running – they really can be run in the dark.
Above – Into turn 3
Above – Fly E121 – A special C5-R in the late 1999 SEMA and early 2000 Sebring test livery. The car was offered as a promotional through a Spanish magazine and a few imported to the US
Above – Fly PA5 – A special C5-R in the 2001 livery of a Spanish GT series. The car was offered as one of a series of 6 various marques that ran the Spanish GT series. It is a limited production car.
