I am looking for a chassis to fit a very small 1/32 body, is there any reference that has the wheel base and chassis width of the GO cars?
Thanks

What is it for ?
overall length ?
width at the sidepans ?
width between the wheels inside?
wheelbase ?
length between guide pivot and rear axle ?
wheel width ( tyres of course )

It's for a 1/32 model
Wheel base 2 5/16 or 58.7mm
Width 1 13/32 or 35.5mm
Wheel size ideally would be 19/32 or 15.3mm
Thanks
Tom

What did you mean by "width" ?
It is necessary to know the overall width measured on the tyres or the wheel arch.
But it is also necessary to know the chassis width inside between the tyres because if this is very wide, but you need narrow wheels, these possibly won't fit into the desired overall width. And altering the front / rear axle brackets width - well, I would prefer building a simple styrene chassis myself instead.
That's why I asked for all those dimesions.

You're over thinking it, I am just looking for a chassis as a starting point.
As for width, I meant the track, I want the wheels inside the body but not looking like a go-cart.
I was just hoping that someone would have some basic information, otherwise I can stop over at a semi-local hobby shop with the body to see what may work.
Thanks

here´s a direct link to the Joe´s page
http://www.go143.de./index.php?id=229it´s german, but you can see the main measurement.
As a starting point, artin chassis could be the better choice, as it is easy to lengthen and to convert to a svivel guide.
if you want to go with a go! chassis, there seem to be enough cars that will fit with the wheel base you specified, but most of them will be wider than what you need.
If want to have pics of lenghtened artin chassis, let me know.

Thanks guys this is exactly what I was looking for and was interpreting it last night. Unfortunately the list has a lot of discontinued cars and doesn't include the newer cars like the Ferrari and Vette. I will have to visit to a semi-local shop and see what might match up.
Thanks for the help
Tom

You can pick up the discontinued one's fairly cheap. What motor are you using?
