I finished soldering the center section together. Now off to solder the pans on.

I ran mine at Route 93 and was very impressed with it! It ran as good as my dual .055 car from the R4.
I'm following this build

Hay Rob, looks like you you have another great build started. Keep up the good work.I ran mine at Route 93 and was very impressed with it! It ran as good as my dual .055 car from the R4.

Cap, Bob Foster was running my ten rail Sunday (total Rails in the chassis). Same car I qualified for the Main at TR. That car was built over three months ago. Jeremy's F-1 Sunday was a 10 rail car. Thats right folks a 10 rail F-1. He won on the flat track with a brand new car never run before Sunday and the car ran at 104.7 Grams on the flat track. I am working on a fourteen rail Can-Am which should be finished tomorrow night. And the stock cars, All I can say about that is Tony who LOL
Regards to both.

Cool chassis. I always wanted one of Rick Moore's Ret-Ro chasis. Unfortunately, I don't think Rick and I were enough of buds for me to get one? I guess you were one of the lucky ones?

Almost done, but so far a little lighter than I would have liked. I was hoping it would be a 110 gram chassis for a GTC? I don't think it's going to make it?
Still need to add a guide tongue reinforcement, pin tubes and a front axle.
After testing if any weight is needed in the back, I'll install a 1/4" X .062" brass shelf in the motor bracket area

James Merriman built one of these a few months ago using the Samurai kit. It works very well.

Rob,
Nice clean build.
If it runs as good as it looks you should have a winner.
