Honda RC166: Engine and frame

What a detailed kit. I've made a couple of changes, mainly replacing the 1 mm rubber tube provided for spark plug wires with 0.50 mm wire from the stash. At scale this is a more realistic 1/4" diameter.

The accessory package that includes upgraded clutch and front fork also includes six little carb trumpets, and is therefore well worth it.

Spark plugs are very fragile but I managed to get them into the head and attached to the wires without breaking any. Well, OK, I only broke one but managed to fix it.

The black tubing is probably a little big for throttle cables but not by as much as if it were used for spark plug wires.

The upgraded clutch includes 4 each plates and discs, and will be free to turn if you are careful with the glue.


Next, back to the Ferrari 156 where I need to polish out some dust that got into the paint somehow. Stay tuned!
