In my mind's eye I can recall a Car Model Magazine building article in the late 60's early 70's for a chassis similar in design to this. I'll try to see if I can find it in my collection.
That's thirty minutes away. I'll be there in ten.

Phaze III 1969 model used in their RTR cars as well as sold separately. Also used by Cobra for the same use.

Thanks for sharing, Niels.

HI Philippe,

Isn't this odd? that the brass drop arm has the large center cut-out? I've only ever seen the steel drop arms like this.

Great looking chassis, Neils.

Thanks to PdL and others. :-)

I bought it recently and the seller had named it as Mura. I don't care - the price was decent and it is a nice period chassis.

This frame can be made to handle almost as well as the latest GT-12 equiment. The frame WILL require a rear motor brace and a Cox, Dynamic or modified modern guide flag.
