Since I can’t seem to find the adjustable PCS chassis I was planning on using, I figur d I’d use up some of that brass and piano wire I’ve been accumulating.
I grabbed an index card and traced the top and side views of the chassis, paying particular attention to the wheel wells. I established a center line and then worked out where the axle center lines were.
Then, I turned my attention to motor mount options. It was clear a sidewinder was out...
The first option was to check to see how a Slot It pod would work.
It didn’t: very close, but those wheels aren’t fitting under the wheelwells. No room for s chassis extension to the rear (I’ve gotten around that on some Cheetahs I built, but...
So, I rummaged around and found a heavy duty BWA motor bracket. More scrounging found some oilier bushings that fit the holes. It good to be a hoarder !
Back end is shaping up, now to figure out how to deal with the Sprites notoriously tight front end....
