Once the strip was cut for the side pans, I jigged the chassis up on my soldering block and soldered them in place.

I decided to make a new front axle mount to accomodate front tires and wheels with a minimum .800" diameter. This will allow me to make additional modifications to the chassis and be able to race in a Northwest True Scale Class should this experiment go sideways. I soldered a brass tube across the chassis to hold the front axle oillites, with a brace behind it. Old metal crown gears were used as wheel jigs.

After the front axle mount was finished I soldered "U" channel brass strip to the sides of the chassis to serve as body mounts. At this point the chassis was pretty much done. It's been a long time since I have completed any sort of chassis build in one day. I spent about 4 hours on this one, with a lot of time wasted when my torch ran out of fuel!

I assembled the chassis for testing. I installed an old Parma pink endbell 16D motor. I didn't think this chassis will handle much power. The first few test laps indicated to me why nobody built any chassis like this. It was crap! It handled very badly, jumping up and down all over whenever the throttle was applied quick and hard. This thing had all kinds of traction! I replaced the rear tires with an older set that I figured wouldn't be as tacky. That settled the chassis down somewhat, but it was still a handfull! It could run 5.8 second laps pretty consistently, dipping into the 5.6 second range occassionally. Not great.......It was still a fun day going from sketch to completed build and testing all within a single day! That is BIG for me! What now?...Well I'm not quite done with it. I'm going to try another motor, maybe an old Falcon, to see if I can calm it down. Probably change the gearing to a higher ratio at the same time. If I can make it work, this will be a really easy build to put some of my Team Bluegroove bodies to use. I have plenty of "Flexi" type chassis to use!

Not to worry, this is NOT going to be a new class! This is just an old man revisting his early slot car building past.

The Roseburg Team only had two members. James on the left and Rich on the right.

The "Hooligan" race was exciting! There were no slow racers anywhere in the entire field for this IROC race! Left to right: Paul, Kevin, James, John.

These are the racers that made it into the "Main Event" (sorry for the poor photo). Left to right: Rich, Steven, Gary K., Gary T.

The IROC cars prepared by Rich were all model car bodied Ferraris mounted on an assortment of 2NASTE, Schoeler, and other types of bolt together 1/24 chassis. Other than a couple of gear mesh issues there were no car failures!
