Matt, you can start with whatever you want ;)
But if you build a chassis first and than decide on the body is maybe not the easy way to do things LOL
will send you the contact data from Claus in Germany, he has some Porsche bodies, but please get in contact with him directly.
you can use different methods of getting a chassis for your new car:
- get a carrera chassis, (easy to get) no rotating guide, strong magnet (if you ´re into that), good motor and gears.
shortening or lengthening is quite easy to make it fit to another body.
- get a SCX compact chassis (harder to get), rotating guide, not sooo strong magnet, good motor and gears.
shortening or lengthening is quite easy to make it fit to another body.
- artin chassis or other clones from china: pin guide like carrera, mild magnet, big motor with no brakes, tires can be between not so bad and useless. chassis is easy to work with.
- get a 3D printed chassis:
there are some out there, universal ones with adjustable wheel base (i.e. from Immense Miniatures - Marc is great or from me)
and there are customizable chassis for all kind of motors - if you send me the measurements of the car you want to build, i will do a chassis.
- there is also a metall chassis out there - the Slotdevil Micro Chassis from slotbox.de
- scratchbuild your own chassis - a wide world, starting from sheet styrene to soldering brass ....
