Ok, check! A man of your status needs no reservation of course. Your usual table will be cleared and filled with Slotburgers and BBQ with room for a setup block :)

Try main rails of .062" wire. If one length doesnt do it you can add another one, side by side.

...and silent gears, perfect bearing centers, run-in motor, low center of gravity, perfect tire profiles, stable guide, etc. Look out, guys. He's serious.

LOL, well Rob...the problem is that none of that amounts to a hill of beans with my driving "skill" :) All the rest of the guys that race here have the same, if not better precision AND they can drive. So being last is common for me, but now I can do it in style :)
Mounted the body using my regular old techniques. I shimmed the body from the underneath to get the ride height I wanted and then slipped in the plastic mounting plates, and glued in place.
Used Evergreen sheet plastic this time. 2MM thick. I tacked in with CA (SuperGlue) and then flowed more glue after it dried.
Just a slight amount of rake.
Now to prep the body and get my paint right.
More Joe will be mandatory for that. :auto-checkeredflag:

Sweet looking ride Harry! That is one heck of a package you have there. looks like it will be a fun car to drive. I cant get over how clean your chassis' look when finished. I work to fast most times, and the end result shows it. Of course when I do slow down and pay attention to detail, they still don't come out as good as yours.

Harry , that is looking great. The chassis build is to be admired , and the body placement gives that ready to race look to all comers.
Looking forward to the livery and finished set up.
Kudos
