My first crude attempt at lowering a AW Funny Car & using a Mega G Chassis.
First I clipped out the front axle (since the wheels are almost impossible to pull off). Next I snipped off the little bracing/extensions on the front of the chassis & filed it flat to gain a bit more clearance.
I added a new axle tube & epoxied it in place a few hairs farther forward to better match the wheelbase of the AW FC bodies. Next time I'll move it even a smidge farther forward & use a brass tube, I just used what I had this time.
I replaced the front axle & wheels using a set off an older AFX car from the 90's I had laying around.
I Shaved/filed the front wheels down to narrow them, and then I added O Ring tires.
I shaved/filed down the rear wheels, and then replaced the slicks with Jel Claw Hot Rod tires. Don't look too close at the wheels, they're kind of crude but again, I was trying to use what I had on hand.
I dremeled out the inside of the front & rear wheel wells. I still need to figure out a mounting system but to just test this I'm going to try 2 sided foam tape. Hopefully I've got enough clearance, if not I think I can shave a bit more off the inside of the wheel wells.
Questions?
