Speed Passion LM-1 LeMans Build

Speed Passion LM-1 LeMans Build – The rise of RC Formula 1 has put a huge resurgence in Pan Car racing all across the country. Organizations like the UF1 have created a format that has put a ton of excitement back into 1/10 scale Pan Cars, but the true foam-tired, enclosed-bodied Pan Cars of yesteryear have long been forgotten.

Until now. Speed Passion has released a 1/10 Pan Car based around their SP-1 F1 car, threw on a set of foam tires and molded a killer looking LM-1 LeMans body! The LM-1 Spec Racer is designed to get Pan Car lovers back in to it while keeping with a theme that has made F1 so popular…realism.

Being a Pan Car, the build for the LM-1 is pretty straightforward. Painting the body with a cool paint scheme is probably going to be the most time-consuming part, especially if you haven’t painted an RC car body before.

The following support parts will be used with this build:
• Futaba BLS551 Servo, www.futaba-rc.com
