aaaaaaah, Dennis. AKA chassis god.

I know I sound awful dumb, but all these abreviations remind me of early military days. I've been able to separate known real car abreviations from slot car abreviations now, but what is DSC? Did they make a 904 body and I just didn't see it?

Haha! Try Dennis Samson Classics, Waay.

I’m sure that V3.0 will be fast!

Val, Looking forward to some Elva Mk VII pics!

Oh. Never saw that one coming. I think I'll start naming my chassis. RPPPPC (Rob's Perfectly Parallel Patented Power Chassis), or TODWOTWIH (This One Didn't Work Out The Way I Hoped). How about BICH (Best I Can Handle). I have already called some of them that name in the past 5+ decades.

BWA-HA-HA!

I love slot car people!

That's interesting. My wife occasionally hints that we belong on the "Special Bus", but she's far too nice a person to actually say it.

The little yellow bus was full of fun.

OK, Back to the build part of these post

Started on me Cobra, 1st to pick the chassis



Then the body ???

[Old23]

That Heineken sponsored Cobra looks good to me. I'd mount that on your quickest chassis. ; )

[Brumos RSR]

I think we need to all work on our cars at Austin's going forward. There's room to work and beer!!

[Audi1]

The perfect “speedball” combination!

Have I ever mentioned one of the best things I learned from Larry when I went to his place to buy his old track? Setting up an old fridge for a keg tap is easy, and cheap and boy did I jump at the chance. Ice cold beverages and slot cars! Yeehah!

Figured I better get my act in gear, actually had the chassis semi sorted but now I've started on the body. :banana-dance:

My Ninco Jag XK120 is getting the works, new 3D printed chassis, 3D Printed Pod, and all the assorted running gear.
Amato 3D Chassis from Shapeways
CG Slotcars 3D pinted motor pod
M/T Racing 18k motor ( for now )
CB Design insert wheels on all four corners
Paul Gage PGX tires
Slotting Plus Guide Keel.


Chassis is pretty much sorted, needs a few tweaks and weight adjustments once body is ready.


new out of the box body.


stripped of all the pretty stuff.


Body primed and sanding off some bad spots, ready for next coat and then to decide which color I should use. British Racing Green maybe???? :auto-checkeredflag:
