Very nice I have to learn how to do that. A friend has a 1/24 scale F1 car from the 60s that I want to copy. A Lotus 25 or 29

Well with a decent body cast, I set out to build a simple, yet effective chassis that I can duplicate fairly easily for our series.
Using a PM rear motor/axle bracket, and the Boss's tried and true Tri-tube rear end, this came together quick! I incorporated two body mounts, single screw front and rear. I used 2mm Brass rod for the chassis rails, and pulled them in at each end for the guide mount and rear body mount. I wont be floating this body. Using the same Tires and wheels as in the first shots for set up, it should be a great little set up, and very easy to replicate. ImageImage

Thanks Gents! I think it will do nicely. I hope to power it up tomorrow, and see how it does.
