Started building a front end myself . Maybe looking into steering parts on the small scale RC car could possibly work so I am stopping at my hobby shop where I get my RC parts to check it out the front spindles might do the trick well it could help but still might be some fabrication involved

Dave and i have been working on these a lot behind the scene so to speak. We have got it down to very few soldered pieces on the whole front end.And even those piece's are being re vamped so that the whole front assembly can be built, then simply soldered on the chassis as a unit. One of us will be posting a build picture segment on this very soon.

Really cool Dave. Do you think because of the steering the slot car can drift better? Sure looks like it to me.

Now all the hard work Paul Gage has developed over the years is going down the tubes. Because of this new fangled thing, everyone will want big fat wide tires that don't stick :doh: and track dust will suddenly be ok. You've turned our world upside down... ugh… in a good way :clap:

I just want to make my Porsche RS60 for the ROAR racing series with a fully de-cambered rear axle and now drift steering!

Awesome video, looks like the old days when the jalopies ruled. Can't wait to see the images on the build. Here's one i did a few years ago with a poseable front end sprint car. I just used a few different sizes of brass tubing.
