Tex, .0625" outer, .055" inner and yes.....Soldered as you mentioned

[Tom Eatherly]

Tex, you gonna make it out for the Checkpoint?

[Tex]

No can do, Tom... wish I could.

The four rails of .047 really seemed to work well thru the doughnut and top turn. The car really seemed neutral I was running JK untreated mid hubs it seemed to need more motor I'm going to try Ferrari 712 body as well as nn ti22

[Guillermo Suar]

My two attempts for 4 1/2" stock car class.

 

JK kit modified. Z rail configuration. 

 

 

 

 

Four 0.047" rails, 3/4" 0.032" pans.

They look good, Guillermo; straight-forward and uncomplicated usually works best!

[The Bugman]

Preston,,it looks great,nice build bud!

[slotcarone]

 Nice build Preston!!!!  One thing I would suggest is to add braces to the motor bracket.  With the narrow bracket and long axle tubes they bend very easily.

Nice build, Cap.

[gascarnut]

Agreed, a nice interpretation of a "familiar" design! I need to start investigating this multi-rail concept.

 

Let us know how it works.

i guess i have to be secretive just like Haruki is

[Duffy]

Where's the fun in that? That's like the Evil Overlord forsaking his requisite fifteen minutes of triumphant monologuin' and immediately zapping the hero to plasma. Roll credits. C'mon, y'think we're gonna pay for the sequel? TURN THAT PUPPY OVER.

hmmmmmmm no movement in either chassis,,,,,,,
me thinks ya needs a bit of some type,check out Cukras new rides,
they have a tiny bit of pan movement,my Samson built Hanada F1,and Kamo/Hanada both have
a bit of pan movement,,,but to each his own

There is tiny movement in the F1 car. But Can Am is all flex from my proven previous ride! We will see,

[Brian]

You know, I've been paging through the "Scratchbuilt Chassis Gallery" , the evolution is amazing!!!! Really nice work!!!!

 

Cudos to all,

Please make sure you send a picture after the CPC!!!

[Preston M]

Rgeo kit

 

8 total rails of .047

minimal shaker movement

3.975 wb

 

Then I had to rebuild my Samson, so i took a different main rail approach... 

 

1.062 1 .055 on each side... also cleared up the rear braces.
