Garry J Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 I needed a chassis for a Slot.it Audi but it's hard to fit a sidewinder under the rear of that car so I made these 1.6mm brass main plate, 1.5mm Carbon Fibre composite plate, ScaleAuto wheels and tyres. Set up for Pointer motor and Slot.it offset gears but will take most any inline gears So why did I make two? Because I want to see how they travel with a lexan body. Toyota 88C by Andrew Bartholomew. I'm thinking Minolta colours. Approximate all up weights - Audi - 112 grams, lexan Toyota - 100 grams So on to some painting.

stoo23 Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 (edited) At last !!,..Fantastic Gary!! That Looks Great !!,..But hey,..Only How I expected it to look !!!,..lol I must have been confused when we spoke, Is the one with the Carbon Flexing rear end a different chassis?, Or did I just misunderstand what you were explaining? Is it 3/32 front and rear, or is that a 3mm front axle? Great work as usual.

Noel Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 (edited) So why did I make two ?? One for Noel to have a muck around with I think is the right answer Garry J Noel Edited November 6, 2011 by Noel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry J Posted November 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 (edited) Noel, Maybe friday night at Andrews. I have to paint them, and painting sits right between 'being boiled in oil' and 'talking to my mother-in-law' on my list of favourite things.

Garry J Posted November 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Hi Stoo, Thanks for the kind words. Axles are 3/32 Wheelbase is adjustable from 82mm to 88mm Guide centre to front axle adjustable from 5mm to 12mm These are 58mm wide so they're only going to fit the wider cars. If they work OK I'll do something narrower for my MB Slot Zonda F.

Noel Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Garry you know me when it comes to painting. I didn't realize you liked it so much though once again mate they do look fantastic. Hopefully we can develop a class for them some where once you have them sorted. Noel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwwace Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 ....Very nice work, Garry. Any plans to produce such an inline design in 1/24 as there are many LMP cars/bodies waiting for a chassis like that ? Cheers Werner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry J Posted November 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Werner, Axle height on 1/24th scale will play havok with the gear mesh unless the motor is mounted high. With 27mm tyres and the motor on top of the chassis the offset from motor shaft to axle centre is 3.3mm. 24mm tyres will leave a 1.8mm offset. Hmmmm might work.

The wheel size has always been the problem with inline. The current solution is this : I am sure this could be impoved......
