Wednesday February 4th I will be dropping off at Howie's Rapid Raceway, all the remaining Team Bluegroove bodies I have in stock that are suitable for the Can Am and Le Mans classes. Please make arrangements with Howie if you're interested in checking out what is left. This will place all the available bodies in one location. If you are unable to find something that suits your needs we may need to discuss putting together a group order.

Just for grins I Googled "2 NASTE chassis". here's what I got:

"2 NASTE chassis" refers to a specific type of brass chassis used in 1/24 scale slot car racing, known for being a pre-built, easier-to-assemble alternative to scratch-built chassis, often used in classes that want to level the playing field. It's a common term within slot car enthusiast groups, often discussed with other brands like Scaleauto or Scholler, and sometimes requires minor adjustments like thread chasing for optimal performance.

Key Characteristics:

Material: Made from brass for strength and handling.

Type: A screw-together design, making assembly simpler than traditional scratch-built chassis.

Purpose: Used in slot car racing to provide a standardized platform for different builds, especially for racers with less building experience.

Variations: Can be used for various body styles, like Nastrucks, with models designed for different container sizes (e.g., 20' or 40') or configurations.

Where You'll Find It:

Slot Car Forums: Discussions on Facebook groups (like Nastruck group) and dedicated forums for slot car enthusiasts.

Manufacturers: Associated with specific brands or local producers in the slot car hobby.

In short, if you see "2 NASTE chassis," think easy-to-build, brass, 1/24 scale slot car racing frames.

This small box was an Ebay purchase I had made a number of years ago. It was pretty badly damaged in shipping, but I repaired it to the point of it being useable. I did not do much in the way of the cosmetics, I just cleared coated it leaving the "battle" scars.  Being so small and with how the shelves and drawers were arranged inside it was not much use as a 1/24 racing box until
.....Steven and his neighbor came up with this really cool idea for an attachment for race boxes that would house your controller. Well, I had to have one and Steven was nice enough to hook me up (thanks again Steven!)! I attached the controller trunk to the backside of this little box. It fit perfectly! It is hinged on one end and has a magnetic latch on the opposite end. It works perfectly for this box!

I don't remember exactly where I picked this box up. The lid had a silver plate (probably from a race event somewhere) that just happened to say Checkered Flag Raceway. It also had an original Hoffman sticker still in place, and some other damaged stickers. I replaced the damaged Redline Racing Lubricants with a reproduction one and added a vintage "Hobby World" sticker as a tribute to my buddy Dave Smith. The front fold down door retains its original hand lettered "Slot Cars Unlimited", and I added a Rat Fink repro sticker and an MRRC repro sticker, both purchased off Ebay.

I finished applying the clear coat to my latest Ebay box.

It doesn't look any different but, it is sealed now so the exterior won't regrade further.

I can't argue with you on the FCR based cars. However, I tried the H&R chassis (both the early versions and the later versions) and they are junk! With that said, in Roseburg they race a couple of different classes using modified H&R chassis. They add thick brass side pans bolted to the sides of the chassis. They also race an Indy Car class cutting the chassis to fit model car Indy Car bodies. They seem to like them.

Thanks Bob for making this race happen! It was a lot of fun with super close racing! Your track is perfect for Womp racing!

I have 2 new kits available! $65 each.

I'd like to have one! Will it fit on the side of a box?

I think the box is looking pretty good after applying the Mod Podge. The directions on the bottle say "4 weeks curing time". Since I applied so much Mod Podge to the entire box, I am going to give it the entire recommended cure time before I apply the final clear coats. I will post updated photos after the clear finish has been applied.

That fuzzy/foggy circle is not on the box. Must have been something on the camera lens.

After letting the Mod Podge dry for 30 minutes or so, things are looking pretty good!

I put a second coat of Mod Podge over the decals and stickers.
