This thread is dedicated to those who ventured into unknown territory, and tried their hand in build a Womp chassis from scratch.

Here's my "Mini-Int15A" chassis

[Mark Wampler]

Same dimensions as SCRRA (formerly D3) Retro 32nd scale. At least the 80 s style Womps. Womps have wide axle width. Far as I know that's the only difference, in anglewinder chassis, I'm not sure if current style Womps actually have defined chassis dimensions.

I used the same wheelbase and track as a Parma Womp, though this one was designed for a Womp size wing car body.

Was it fun?
I cut one out of steel handle great, have to dig it out and post it.

[Guy Spaulding]

Had to add a lot of lead. It handled marginally better than a SuperWomp. But it was fun to try

Anybody run the steel Flexi-Womps ?

[Paul Jurczyszyn]

Lets start a new beginning.
Lets come up with a retro build for womp. All brass scratch built change the motor to a halk or slick 7 1/16 front wheels, womp rear wheels and parma retro bodys of the classic canam.
Whos up for it?

Ill post some photos next week of what im thinking of. Might need someone to help post photos of build. Real simple should preform and cheeper than buying a womp built.
My thinking when racing is "Race what you build"

I've been using the Champion Thumper chassis with Plafit rabbit motor for my mobile track system for 2 years.


Local club AZGR member Roger Gunning started a class using brass womp chassis, S7 mini motor and Parma CanAm bodies. Not really womp but ya know they're cool.

WHAT IS A WOMP? I thought it was the Parma 1/32 stamped, one-piece steel chassis with wide (3-1/4") stance.

This IS a WOMP!! Simple chassis with a TSR home style FK motor. Hot rod body--this is what I use for IROC races on my home track!!

Paul, definitely post some photos of your ideas. I'd like to see what your chassis design looks like & what bodies you had in mind to use.

Here's an oak jig I made for building womp-sized scratchbuilt chassis. So far, I haven't built one.
