New Chassis Straightening Tool

I used a Sous Vide slow cooker to straighten my chassis. I start at 180 degrees and then let it slowly drop to 130. I also put the pod and motor with the chassis using my Slot Car Corner pin gage to align the bushings.

Hard to figure what's in the 1st pic. :think:
The 2nd pic I can make out a chassis and motor in a plastic bag... :dance:

Typical Smokeio...

Does everything upside down... even the SCC set up board is upside down... :lol:

That makes everything go faster.

Kind of a low rpm motor though. Seriously Mike did the chassis stay flat after it cooled? NSR seem to have a memory and go back. I have never tried the yellow chassis though.

Yes, Stayed flat. To be honest I messed up the first time and put the magnet too far towards the rear so the body posts wouldn't line up so I know it does move the chassis and stay that way.

I have a white chassis for a GT 40 that's really bad and could never get that straight. I'll give that a try. If that works then I know I've got the temps right.

Is that first picture pineapple chicken? Maybe it was mixed up on the film roll and you thought it was a chassis picture....

Inquiring minds want to know what your wife thinks of using the Sous Vide slow cooker to straighten slot car chassis??
