This can be done on all Slot-it/Scaleauto motor pods regardless of the motor orientation. The 'ears' that hold the spherical bishings are cut off, the bushing holes opened a touch ,and single flanged bushing installed. If you are tight for space (you need a narrower track or wish to use wider tires) both Slot-it and Scaleauto motor pods are very easy to modify.

I have lots more, but don't want to bore anyone any longer The only 'magnet' car I own.built to be as light as possible to maximize the effectiveness of the magnetsįrom there it depends on how 'high tech'/how fast you want to go. The is the finished Strombecker body that is on the above chassis.Ī chassis for a Formula car.this is a touch more is a Flexi-board design This is a single rail chassis built to go under a Strombecker McLaren Mk1 This is a Strombecker 'Competition' 2 piece brass chassis.if you have any of these they can be made to run very very well.although a touch heavy if you are using magnets If you decide that you want to build your own, here are a few chassis to give you some ideas.Ī simple single rail chassis, incorporating a Slot-it motor pod. Most 3D options are decent, and the ones with an adjustable wheelbase will allow you to use the same chassis for a variety of Strombecker cars.the Slot-it 'HRS' chassis is also well worth considering as it has both wheelbase and body mount width adjustments. however the 2 piece brass 'competition' Strombecker 1/32 chassis can be made to run very well, but, if you are using magnets, it is not the best choice as it's weight considerably reduces the effectiveness of the magnet(s). That said, as far as the chassis itself, you do have lots of options, and all will run much better than the original Strombecker chassis. are far more important than the actual design/dynamics of the chassis. Hello.retired fun.to be honest, if you are planning on using magnets, the actual dynamics of the chassis are less important than making sure that your chassis is both 'flat and square'.I have seen a ton of high tech chassis that have been poorly executed, that will not run as well as a simple design that is both flat and square.Īdditionally, trued wheels/tires, aligned bushings, proper gear lash/gear ratio, ride height etc.
