55 Chevy Conversion

Postby dge467 » Fri Sep 21, 2018 7:13 pm

I picked up this old TCR slot car body at a shop for 6 bucks. I ended up mounting it on a 4 Gear chassis. I made my own front screw post. To hold the rear of the chassis in place, I ground down the original rear screw post and added a thin piece of metal. I then used one of the chassis traction magnets and glued to the rear of the chassis. It has held great so far! I added silicone rear tires also.
