Jerry Kulich dropped off the first copies of this new chassis during the ISRA/USA "Masters" Warmup.

Look closely... it is a 1/32 scale version of the Original Cheetah 11 dubbed the Cheetah/32.

Available now for the low low price of 21.95.

That's thirty minutes away. I'll be there in ten.

What ISRA class would this fit into?

Is there a 1/32 'production' class? ... Or, will this be the creation of a 'new' class?

Larry, a lot of tracks in the US & Europe run 1/32 production classes. Locally it's with Falcon motors. In Great Britian they run Falcons & c-cans. The Proslot Demon, made in Italy, was the chassis of choice. Looks like Jerry wants to give them a run for the money. :)

Yes, ISRA/USA has a 1/32 "Production" class that this chassis would be targeted toward.

I don't know how it could be much better than Parma's International 32 on a commercial track. I've seen that chassis keep up with a Flexi 1.

I have an Int. 32 & while it's a good handling chassis when set up correctly, the now unobtainable Proslot Demon would eat it for lunch. :shok: I'd expect this new JK to now become the cream of the crop. :)

Great looking chassis! As for the ProSlot Demon and the Parma Intl32- i have both of those chassis set up with my own precision ball bearings and Slot-it gears, one with a CheetahII motor, the other with a Ninco motor, for use on plastic tracks for 1/32 club racing. And they perform flawlessly too!!! I have been trying to get my fellow 1/32 scale plasticar racers who enjoy no traction magnet racing to try, what i call, "the real thing"!

Not meaning that our beloved SCALE plastic chassis hard body cars are not "the real thing", i meant that we can race real commercial cars, i.e. no traction magnets, on plastic tracks too. One car i use ProTrack rears, and they hook up great on plastic track (i treat them with a bit of sunscreen lotion), and the other car i use Slot-it F-1 wheels and PPR Super Tires.

And now this chassis!! Time to build up another car and experiment with wheels/tires/gears/motors/bodies...... :D
