Scaleauto Viper build......finished !!

Hello GRUNZ, I used machine screws with Nyloc nuts to secure the pod to the chassis. Urethane washers were used both below and on top of the pod lugs to minimize vibrations and, more importantly, to allow the pod to flex torsionally, not flop. The bottom edges of the pod lugs had to be trimmed (by the thickness of the urethane washers) so that the pod still was flat with the chassis plate. The screws are adjusted to eliminate any fore/aft, side to side movement. The car has been set up for wood tracks only, and this pod set-up has proven to work very well.

Hi Chris
thanks for the reply. I am a visual guy: any pics of the bottom of the chassis? I am curious to see how large the heads of the screws are.
I would like to see those urethane washer: if you have any pics would be great. Otherwise a link to SCC?

thanks

HI Chris
I took inspiration from your post and build one of my NSR 997 with your configuraiton.



Here in Auckland, we run these 997 with oXigen and the NSR Baby King.
I wanted to try your approach and put this 18K MRRC shortcan.
I have to say that this motor does not have the grunt as the Baby King.
After I took the picture I have upgraded it with a Piranha motor and it is much better now.
What I really like (at least on a plastic track) is the less brutal magnetic effect of the motor compared to the baby king.

Nothing new here folks.............just replacing a few missing pictures..!!!!

This is the finished Scaleauto Viper White kit.......a fantasy livery, with decals I had lying around.

Cheers

Really excellent masking technique. Perfect lines all over.
