I like the offset lead wire holder to help the car go around the Donut on Red better.

Good to see you building Russ. That car should be way 'bitey' so if your conditions and the owner's preferences are a fit, it should be gnarly fast.

On behalf of Kamo-san, I would like to post some pictures of IRRA Retro Stock Car chassis he has built for the first time for that class.

 

The rolling chassis without a body weighs 110g, so a complete ready to race car with a body would be around 120g.

There are enough room for placing lead weights for better handling.

A nose section on the right of the above photo is a proto-type of a new Can-Am nose-piece.

I will race this chassis at the coming Retro Palooza at Hudson Valley Raceway in New York.

This is my first chassis I built since my house fire back in March 2012:

 

SAM_0643_zps0586d7f0.jpg

 

It's basically the same 1/32 design I've built before, but the FK motor is now centered between the wheels.

 

SAM_0650_zpsa26ff977.jpg

 

The gear ratio is 14/42 72 pitch with JK offset tires (.600 wide). 

 

SAM_0655_zpsbc0a79ba.jpg

 

The inital test at SCR's flat track was promising, even though it's was geared way too low (12/42 72P). We'll find out when we have our next retro race at Frank's on the 19th. See you there. :sun_bespectacled:
