Chassis for Carrera Stang
Posted: Fri Mar 17, 2017 9:19 amNow that seems like a worthwhile investment. Stock the rear of the Carrera mustangs sit about inch off the ground. Might even be competitive with some of the other brands.

Inline only for this one. I tried for months to find a solution with a SW pod - but it kept looking like the original Carrera chassis.... I'm happy with the look now.
Here is a shot of the stance:

Posted: Fri Mar 17, 2017 10:45 amI was figuring on brass for these as well I don't recall an article on yours Harry did you do one?

Posted: Fri Mar 17, 2017 7:48 pmThere are many Artin-stein chassis out there. It is one of the most changeable. Has anyone tried to copy it?
Re: Chassis for Carrera Stang
Posted: Fri Mar 17, 2017 8:03 pmIs it possible to use the stock Carrera Mustang rear axle and motor with a compatible inline motor pod? I like to keep my cars as stock as possible but like the lower stance of your chassis.

Posted: Fri Mar 17, 2017 8:38 pmCarrera axles are smaller - and knurled. They will not work with the slot.it bushings.
You can probably get there with some work on the wheels and gear - but the axle difference is around .25mm - so one wrong move and your reaching for super glue
Inline pods are easy to find - most people switched them out on the Slot.it group c cars to a side-winder pod. I have 4-5 hanging around for example.
The Carrera motor is an FC130 can - it will drop right in. I think Slot.it flipped the motor around in the pod at some point (or maybe thats just the SW pod....(?)) - you just have to make sure the motor shaft is pointed the right way!

Posted: Fri Mar 17, 2017 8:42 pmI'll be picking up a couple of these. I hope they do the Vette too. Not that the chassis was as bad but I'm sure it would run better.
