Chassis for new build - MT 57 Ford

[HomeRacingWorld]

The Stinker 2.OH :)



Old Smoke said we should try a little more offset. Well, we do what he says most times :)

[Gameover]

Thought about that offset thing for my sporty

[SLOTTING SINCE 1963]

The Stinker smells good! Be careful not to go Ovalboard.Also no good if you track is wired to turn Right!
Keen to see if the mod improves lap times.

[HomeRacingWorld]

No right turns for this car sir :)

People will argue this one all the time. But on my track, at the milder speeds we are running, it does not make much difference compared to a straight chassis with a little Flintstone rib of lead on the left. Our last race with Mark was about as close as it gets and we had chassis in 3 different configurations.

But this is a new one, so I will test and report. Who knows? Maybe it will actually work :)

Very cool!

[RazorJon]

you need to send it up for the inspectors to check out, I think its a bit over, may take some time to check out metallurgy and and see if its been acid dipped :auto-checkeredflag:

[HomeRacingWorld]

Thanks. The fun part of building for me is the options we can choose to "install" :)

My next one will go back to standard though. Just messing with it.

Don't worry about it Harry, I don't get my chassis lined up straight all the time either! :lol:

Seriously, that's pretty cool. and I am curious of lap time/handling differences.

That looks good .it would be a great setup for a hardbodied modified like a vega or a pinto type body .doesnt MT resin make a modified body . I might to try my first 1/32 chassis build in your foot steps with a pinto build.
thanks for the idea

Harry, my first impression is you built yourself a nice oval chassis. If I had needed one, that would have been my approach. Something similar ought to work with Kev's paper modifieds. It'll be interesting to read how it goes on a roadcourse track. :)

I would call this one the "Stinker LTO"!

Looks good - someone pointed out the Stinker chassis was like a return to the early days of scratch building - before angle winders and bat-pans and thingies. I think that is a part of the charm of these builds.

bill from nh -
We have been building the laminated nymodifieds based off of a straight Womp with a little offset - but someone could definitely take it up a notch and do a full offset scratch built chassis...

Harry you sir just keep flippin my lid with your builds whither its a
full car or just a chassie outstanding work indeed

[HomeRacingWorld]

Well thanks guys, appreciate it. Getting some work done, just slow going.

Body mount plate in. Not sure how much offset I will run, I have a little to work with.

[dreinecke]

Really nice looking ride. If you offset it enough, I could use it to knock Bibbster off on the corners...just sayin'.

[racer6583]

That is going to be killer.
When you get her done.
