When the date was set for the Music City Shootout I started working on setting a car up for the Black Snake. I knew that I would need some help because my home track is a tri-oval (only left hand turns). So I ask a few questions of one of the best MSwiss and he not only gave me answers, he built a chassis for me. Not only what I had asked about but a bit more that I had expected.

 Yes, it is a JKX25R with three .047" rails and a little some thing extra on the front, set screws to adjust the pan sideplay. That will come in handy when I get down to Central TN Raceway. Also with a set of MSwiss ball bearings.

 

The chassis has a Bud Bartos front axle with JK plastic fronts.

The motor is a Falcon 7 Screamer from PCH.

With a O/S Ti22 narrow nose body.

I am looking foward to getting there and putting on a set of the tires that we will have to run and get this thing dialed in.

Awesome looking car you have there, Les. Can't wait to see how it handles "The Black Snake". 

 

See you soon!

Once again, some creative construction, too. I like the use of the set screws.
