The wheels and tires are actually F-104. Bought them on Ebay. The chassis has a shorter wheelbase (240mm) than the original F103/F104. The reason is that the original Porsche 917 had 2400mm wheelbase. There are bodies on the market for 260mm wheelbase, but compared to the original 917 they look a bit "streched". This is why I made my own 917 mold and vacuum formed the body "do it yourself"- style. Regarding the adjustments of the chassis, the front arms and servo have been repositioned by cutting and drilling additional holes in the chassis plate.
Man that thing looks factory...beautiful car
Awesome nice build bro👍🏼exelent high speed bro👍🏼👍🏼🤝🤝🤝
Very nice
Does anyone know what manufacturer or what of blue color was used ??
Please let me know as I am trying reproduce this shade of blue.
Thanks
Did it by mixing colors and airbrush
Very nice! I have the Tamiya F104. Will this body be a good fit for it as well? Also, where did you get the tires and wheels? Thanks!

@@scalercmodels9261 how much will you charge for this custom Porsche 917 body of yours?
What kind of sky blue paint did you use? Brand?
Hobbynox Polycarbonate Color. But I mixed additional "white" into "blue sky" before airbrushing
Where can I find the plans in 1/10 scale so I can make my own
I use 3-view blueprints from Google. I print them with the width corresponding to the chassis I'm using. That's all...
@@scalercmodels9261 got a link?
Where can I get a body like that?
I made the body myself by building a mold and then vacuum forming.
@@scalercmodels9261 planning to sell the shells?
@@shadow7037932 it's homemade by hand, not industrial mass production. Selling is not worth the effort, unless I charge an unreasonable high price
Excuse me. I want to buy this body please😭
I'm sorry, this is only hobby, I'm not a commercial seller
Thank you sir
