New Chassis Available for Rapid Raceway Classes (Page 1 of 3)

That looks less complicated, at least from here it does.

It's pretty similar to a Scholer in terms of design, and if it comes assembled that would be a bonus but at that price point I'm guessing kit form.

I received the Sloting Plus chassis today. They are un-assembled, however they come in a much better package and the directions are in English on one side and Spanish on the other.

My guess is that it will fit Falcon 7 type motors.

I just looked on the back of the Sloting Plus package and it says: made in Spain.

Unfortunately yes, I just checked that out last night. I think it will be a little harder with stainless, but it doesn't look like too much has to be reamed.
I needed to replace a Scholer axle bracket so I ordered an axle bracket from Professor Motor, it is a Motor Modern #11332 and the reducer bushings fit right in.

The SP80001 project. First problem is the motor mount is not good for a D can motor. I have another mount that will work.

Yes that is a nice  mount, but not for the D cans. I never bothered to look to see if Slot Plus has a mount for the D motors. I have a mount that I ordered from Professor Motor a while back. It is a Plafit #PL1078P and it will fit, I wish I had ordered about 10 of them as Professor Motor is out of stock and has been for quite a while. I also have a mount that Beau gave me that will also fit, however it only has the bottom screw hole for mounting it to the motor. I guess that will work if a person was to make sure the motor is taped or somehow fixed to the chassis.

SP800001 continues. I went ahead and bolted the chassis together as the directions are good and no sense in taking pictures of the process. I will say that during the building that the nuts and bolts be at least snugged up or you may be picking them up off the floor as I did because they will unscrew themselves!
I decided to make a Nationwide NASCAR out of this chassis as the TA2 would require me to narrow the pans and I wanted to get a car going asap and that would be just an extra step.
The NASCAR I am using is a Dale Eearnhardt Jr. 2002 Chev. Monte Carlo.
I am ordering another chassis to do the TA2 using a snap kit of the 2015 Mustang.

SP800001 project continues. Installed the axles, tires etc. Set the tracking, front to the max of 3.170" and rear to the max of 3.190". As you will see in the pictures, this car is going to need small flairs. I use brass tubing for spacers with an ID of .095" or so and an OD of .125".
Money wise the parts in this installment are as follows: axles $2.25 each X 2 = $4.50. Front tires  $8.00. Rear tires  $10.40. Brass bushings for the front axle  $1.50. Gear  $3.50. Rear axle bearings  $9.60.

Small flairs are in order, I will add them and primer the car when done. The body has yet to be cut down. As I am a Pontiac guy when it comes to NASCAR, this is the first Chevy I have ever built for slot racing! In any class! I think it is going to turn out nice and run well in the Nationwide series. Of course we haven't raced a stainless steel chassis yet!
I want to take time to thank Bill  for down loading all these pictures.

SP800001 continues. Installing the motor. This is the way I mounted this motor with the gear toward the end of the shaft so as to keep the 54t gear from hitting the motor mount. The motor mount is from Professor Motor and they are out of stock, however Beau has another similar mount. The motor is at the correct angle to clear the right rear tire and stay clear of the rattle pan. The seven tooth gear is not quite meshed close enough so if I were to use it, I would lengthen the mounting groove in the mount or go to an 8t. pinion. If you go to a 52 tooth gear which is popular, you may have to drill another hole in the chassis to make it work, that is what Beau did. You may have noticed that this is not an open S16D, but the mounting is the same.
