Re: Slot Car Chassis build of the month

Hello Kevin,

It seems to give the chassis better handling in the corners. I cannot really explain how or why it works. It is something I tried on the fourth slot car chassis that I made, and it seemed to work well. I have made all the chassis that will accept that style rear end ever since.

I hope this helps, Jim

Slot Car Chassis build of the month
#7
Hello Slot Car Builders, Collectors, & Racers:
 This month I have a 2005 - 2006 Ford GT body from Polar Lights for this build. The chassis is finished and has been tested at my track Dust Devil Slot Cars and ran very well. The body is painted Powder Blue and all the body detail is finished with Dan Gurney All American Racer decals. The motor cooling wings were made by me for this build to keep the Super 16D motor cool. This Ford GT was built for the OSCAR Sports Car Class.
 If you look at the chassis builds that I have done, the chassis may look similar but no two chassis are built the same. I build chassis for readily available model bodies that do not cost a fortune, then advise the owner to buy an extra model body of the same car in case of too much race damage and the body is falling apart. The owner can paint the backup body and have a new car again.  My big mistake was I built a sports car chassis for a Fujimi 1/24 Ferrari F355 Berlinetta model body for $24.00 and $5.00 to ship ten years ago, I did not think to buy a second body at that time. Over the years the body started getting beat up, now I need a new Ferrari F355 Berlinetta body.  Check the price of that body today, plus shipping. 
  As always, if you have any questions or need more pictures, let me know and I will do my best to answer them.  Jim
