Greg, both those stock cars were killer fast! I think the one Boogie ran was the one I liked.
Those 2 stock cars were the reason I built the Slick 7 stocker.
And if Shakers are illegal, I have alot of pretty CHR Cars to hang on my wall LOL

Killer Job CAP!
the LTO is one fine looking machine you've created.
Glad you took the time to tackle such a design!

Richard, Which one? The 8 rail .047 Can-Am car got raced at Route 93, ran 3rd and broke the Penn-Ohio single lap record. Car was much better then I drove it! lol At TSS it was fast and predictable. I raced a different car, as I'm trying to save my really good stuff for bigger events.

Cap,
The new chassis you showed in post 735. You stated you would be trying it out at Rt. 93 and etc.
Richard
PS: Used to build back in the 60's but didn't have kits, good jigs or a good iron. Amazing the stuff that was turned out back then.

Finally an F1 Chassis
CHR Cars # 013
JK F1 Plate 4" Wheelbase
Chicagoland 3/4" 0* Motor Bracket and trimmed Brackagra
Shaker Pans and Added Center Weight
Copied features from different builders. Went Dual .062 rails like some RPM Cars, Shaker Pan Up/ Down Stops like Samson, and the Split Center Weights like Crutchfield.
Waiting on some chunks of drill blank for the front axle.

John, I've thought of most my chassis ideas lately while riding in the hauler.
I can tell you one thing, deff not a fan of building the F1 cars. I couldnt imagine doin D3 F1s!

Mr. Katz made the same suggestion. I've never broke a drill blank front axle, but I've never really wrecked one hard enough to I guess? Have to see if I have a 3/32 chunk of piano wire.

Thxs Tony.
I didn't wanna use the Brackagra do to keeping it light, but I was afraid the rails flexing and twisting the bracket would fold. So I trimmed it down til it didnt weigh much LOL

How about a back view of the chassis to see what you're talking about?

Here is a not so great pic, but you get the idea. I believe the U-Shape only 2 or 3 grams.
I dont usually add rear weight such as the Brackagra to my Can-Am/ GTC Cars as my best ones dont have them. But when I was messing around flexing the car slightly I noticed the rails were distorting the bracket. The Lightened Brackagra fixed it.
Thanks for the great products Mike!

Not sure yet. Suppose to run the 360 and 410 at Eldora Saturday Night. And I also have to buy a new GPS, as there was a bunch of thefts in my hometown, and they took my GPS. Apparantly my dirty race suits in the back seat werent appealing?

Cap,
I have a prototype Slayer that I have been testing.
Just got back from testing it tonight. I think for the final time.
After a lot of work limiting the movement it seems to be a bit quicker then our good stuff on the center lanes but a little off the really good stuff that we are saving for the Sano. But on the gutter lanes its a whole different story. PM me and I will fill you in.
Regards,
Greg
