Looks good


The only thing hot in my workshop right now is the turning of screwdrivers on a Dynamic chassis for the Thingie Proxy race. Want to buld a Tripod Stockcar for me? I've had 4 Stockcar kits sitting on my bench for about 6 months

[Pablo]

Great to see a Scratch-Built car from Somewhere Else !!

[Craig]

I've had a lot of requests for this chassis and here is a look at one I built for Nesta.

4.875" overall length
.875" guide lead
4" wheelbase
.078" main rail
.062"x.125" inner brass pans
.062" doubled up piano wire outer pans
.055" cross pieces
.055" single plumber hinge
WRP motor bracket

Verry nice Craig! But what are you doing building such a beautiful piece of work for Nesta? According to PDL it's going to get wrecked! Sorry but had to slam my Friend Nesta he is a great guy!

[68Caddy]

Don't worry Ken.
Craig made this a bit longer for me due to my bad habits, he knows what I can do with it on a good day but also on a bad day. Team COART is lucky to have you Craig as our builder, and Barney is pretty good also, his 1:32 stuff JET'S.

Brnursebmt asked me to build him a 4-1/2" chassis from a Warmack kit & here's the results:



I had to cut my own slots for the main rails & relocated the pin tubes, but kept the tabs for body support. The pans fit nicely, making the chassis under 3" wide & the axles are jigged for 13/16" tires. Look for this in the mail this week, Bobby.

[Old pink can guy]

Very sweet Russ. I need to get my soldering skill back up to where you are. Trying to relern this stuff after 40 yeares is killing me nice work on your end can not wait to post so you can all LYAOF at me Ken!

Hey Craig, Are the pan upstops the axle tube?

[Craig]

Hey Craig, Are the pan upstops the axle tube?

Yes Sir, I've also seen Gorski use spring upstops on one he built for Jay Henry but I have found leaving them free smooths out the car in the doughnut on the Gerding King. At least it suits my driving style.

Yeah, I got one that I built for that stupid contest, but haven't put it together yet. I'll work on it someday when I'm bored.

[Craig]

As most of you know 1/32 scale scratch built chassis are getting very popular around the So Cal area. So, I have been dinking around with a couple designs on the angle winder platform. I cannot take full credit for this one though, Dennis Samson has a chassis he built that is very similar to this one but I made a few minor changes....Have a look.

I knew those Warmack pans I cut off the kits would come in handy for something.

[Richie]

Looks great Craig!

[gascarnut]

Nice!

And you're right, it is quite similar to mine:




Whose guide tongue is that?

[JimF]

Here's my first ever 1/32nd car. I plan to test it tomorrow with both the S7 and the Hawk and see whatzzzzup. This is 92 gr as show and I made a mistake in bracket choice so I had to narrow the outside of the tire by about .060. This is 3" wb, 3/4' gl, 2.50' wide. Reat tires are .790, fronts are .700.

I want to build an anglewinder around the Hawk but want to run it first to see if it's a practical choice or not.

I know that Russ Toy is working on one as well and maybe we can try them out at our race this Sunday. We shalllll seeeee.......

O/S Ti-22 body. S7 motor geared 8-26, Hawk will be geared 6-26



Main rails are .060 wire, front slabs are 1/16", bracket slab is .3/32"



Rear bracket is (I think) a BPR that was lying idle. I shoulda used a JK F-1 bracket.

[Craig]

Whose guide tongue is that?

This guide tongue was robbed off of a Pierce chassis that Barney gave me. One of the only items on the car that could be recycled.

[Craig]

Jim, great looking car.....

As for the motor bracket, not to worry as these things produce a huge amount of bite so you will more than likely have to narrow them more than what you currently have on the car now. Oh, that is a WRP bracket by the way.

[Rick]

A sneak Peek at the Samurai 2.2 chassis for you all to critique.

There are some new features added to the Samurai II after over a year of testing and racing it. Some revisions to the plate. I threw one together to showcase some of the changes for viewing.

New features: integral guide tongue, built in lead wire loom, and the bite bar tabs. There are many ways to build it now with additional slot for double rail chassis or fill with a wire and build it a mono rail.You will notice two 1/4" holes in the pans, there will be 2 lead slugs with each chassis if you want to add that weight at the lowest possible point. Plate is 1" guide lead and if you want the plate can be had flat with no coining for you own tongue. More info when it hits The Parts Counter Later this week.

Available soon.............

Sweet. Do the body mount holes match any existing body clips ?
Will it use a standard, or a "cut-down" flag ?

Nice, Rick

Nice, Rick

Sorry Pablo they still match the current Samurai placement. I can coing them for ither way. Shown is a cut down guide, I prefer the full guide personally.
