Aston Martin Vantage GT3. I used a Scholer chassis from a former GT-1. The rear wheels will have to be moved in a little. I used small nails to hold the body on.

Beau's new F1. Both cars were tested at the March 12, '16 race, both were impressive. This should be an exciting and fun class. They both are powered by the Pro Slot S16.

This is the motor mount. There are different motor mounts available for the Scholer chassis to allow the use of a variety of motors. The motor mount can be used as a sidewinder or an anglewinder depending on the motor used. It mounts to the brass chassis with one flat head counter sunk screw, washer, and a nut. For this mount I would suggest the use of a lock washer, or Blue Locktite. The motor mount hole is slotted for adjustment.
Lastly, the Slick 7 bushings are installed in the rear and front axle mount holes. The rear bushings can be cemented in place to prevent unwanted movement, but a little slop in the front axel seems to be beneficial to handling.
