I'm starting to think about building my first brass chassis.

I've been won over by the SW configuration during the past year (whenever the width of the car/chassis permits it) and I've been fascinated by the AW set-ups, although, to date, I haven't had much luck with them on the track. Since SW is my current favorite motor configuration, I started looking around for a pre-made SW motor bracket that accepts the rear axle bushings/bearings and the motor (like what's already available for the IL configuration). I can't find any and I wondered why that is? I would think that there would, at least, an S-can (FC-130) SW version. Am I missing these pieces or do they not exist? And if they don't, why is that? Thanks.

Thanks Harry. I started a separate thread for this topic because I didn't want to continue to hijack the Vega thread.

They are not too hard to make yourself....without that U bend needed for an inline.
I have done it...not recently though.

I have several sidewinder scratch builds that use either a Slot.it or D3D sidewinder pod. I had a Slot.it GT40 that had a broken chassis. I replicated the chassis with brass and piano wire, popped all the parts back in and it now is one of my best cars. I think I posted a sidewinder in a Lola T70 on the D3D build thread.

I also have a Lang Cooper that has the axle tube and piano wire chassis glued to the S-can with JB weld epoxy. Works perfectly and hasn't broken yet.
