I recently purchased another M-8D white kit from Red Devil Raceway and have decided to attempt to mount a BSB resin McLaren M12 on the slot.It chassis as the wheel base should be the same or very close. The resin body should be here next week and I will report then on how well they match up.

I have also been thinking about getting one of the slot.It twin Ferrari 312PB kits and seeing whether the RMS Ferrari 612 resin body will fit the 312PB chassis.

I'm picking both will be close. That BSB McLaren looks nice.

I just picked up a slot.it Ferrari - the wheelbase is a shorter than the Alfa 33/3 chassis I used on my 612 by a few mm

71mm for Ferrari vs 74 mm for Alfa

It could work but maybe a little short - I added a bit of extra material to the mount posts so that I could move the chassis back a couple of mm to get clearance for the back wheels I wanted so the Ferrari chassis may pull them that little bit forward that makes it a tight fit. I will pull the Ferrari apart and put it under the 612 body and post a photo for you

cheers

Thanks, that is a wee bit short. Maybe I'll just get the Alpha and a set of Ferrari wheel inserts.

ModlerBob,

Just a thought . . . . . if you buy the 2 pack of Slot.It Ferraris from Slot Car Corner - an outstanding value at $69.95 - and then pick up a new Slot.It Alfa 33/3 chassis - $6.99- you will have the correct wheelbase. Just a thought.
