SCX® reproduces the Chevrolet Corvette, the flagship of the Corvette Racing fleet, a car characterised by its sporty, aggressive and aerodynamic lines. Regarding the decoration on this SCX® model, the American manufacturer Chevrolet has given the car a strikingly sober look, mainly through the use of just two colours: blue, which is the dominant colour on the whole car, and yellow, which makes the car more eye-catching. Seen from the front the Chevrolet Corvette has a wealth of air intakes, which are particularlywide on the bonnet. The car is covered with logos all over its bodywork. This view is finished offwith a pair of highly attractive headlights and a front spoiler which adds to the sporty, competitive look of the nose and helps to enhance the car's aerodynamics.
The side is divided into two colours – blue and yellow – along the whole of its length. The side doors feature the race number 34, and the grey spoked wheels with Michelin tyres are particularly eye-catching, once again adding to the car's sporty personality. There is a small window in the driver's door of the Chevrolet Corvette with openings at the front and back, and over the doors are the names of the drivers and co-drivers: Menten, Belloc,Bornhauser and Bouvy. As usual, SCX® has gone to great pains with the detailing of the driver and co-driver's gear (helmet, gloves and overalls). In the back view of the car the black spoiler stands out, with the name of the sponsor Dunlop inyellow. This, along with a ground-hugging bodywork, make it a highly sporty, competitive car.
Track Trials A model with highly acceptable vital statistics in 1/32, fairly light and with a low centre of gravity, built on a completely flat chassis with proportions which are well-suited to competition. All in all,it promises a high-performance response with the classic, tried and tested SCX® mechanicaldesign. The tilting motor cradle breaks up the rigidity of a frame with a surprising degree of flexibility. A little bit of running-in to tune up the gears and bearings, fit the pick-up braids untwisted and ofequal lengths and lubricate all the moving parts and you are ready to hit the track, at low torquerates at first before building up steadily to a racing pace. First impressions are confirmed as soon as you get it onto the track. The Chevrolet Corvette gets ahead with precision thanks to its length, a rear end withpractically no overhang and a wheel track which gives adequate support on wide bends. It takes parabolic bends on a racing circuit very comfortably and negotiates tight bends without too much trouble. It is focused in its performance on straights, and the ease with which it brakes hard rounds off a performance which should provide some great afternoons. The model's main trump cards are its stable, comfortable running, making it a car to drive and tune up to become one of the stars of the different SCX® paddocks. * Tests conducted without extra magnet.

The Real Chevrolet Corvette The Corvette Racing Team was 50 years old in 2004 and constantly proves that it is still at the top in international endurance races by winning the GT1 category in the last five editions of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Chevrolet Corvette is the most technologically advanced sports car ever created by the American manufacturer, and was the winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2005. This timeSCX® has reproduced the exact same model which competed in the Spa 24 Hours, driven bythe team made up of the Frenchmen Belloc and Bornhauser, the Dutchman Menten and theBelgian Bouvy. The Corvette is equipped with a V8 engine delivering 600 horsepower. Based on the Corvette C6-Z06, this vehicle features carbon and Kevlar bodywork; these lightweight materials cut its weight down to just 1,162kg. The Spa 24 Hours is an endurance race held every year at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Belgium. It was conceived by Jules de Their and Henri Langlois Van Ophem just after the first 24 Hours of Le Mans, and the race is run under the auspices of the Royal Automobile Club Belgium.
