Avant chassis arrived

Postby BARC 1 » Wed Mar 15, 2017 7:00 pm

I ended up buying a bakers dozen of these chassis. The first 3 arrived today. Pulled the magnets installed some PGT's and set up the front wheels. The chassis beat my previous best 15 lap qualifying run by 7 seconds. The chassis came with an orange Long can ,aluminum rear wheels and a metal angle spur gear. For $10 / chassis there was not much to risk. Glad I bought them.

Surprisingly I never added any weight and the chassis just smoked my track. I am guessing those long cans are adding some magnetic downforce judging from what was reported on the TA proxy thread

Bought these on eBay from a Chinese surplus clearing centre. They arrived unbelievably fast. I didn't think I would see them until May!.

I am going to install an 18 k 130 and see what it does.

Yes, I was looking at a Porsche 956 that might look good on it. Will try some fitting out later.

Glad to hear it. I bought a few, and have already received ship notification but haven't seen the chassis yet. They are supposed to be fast. Sounds promising!

The $2.98 price is for the motor.

Those are 21k motors. Hopefully not being used in the TA proxy...

Good deals, though!

Thanks for the tip. I ordered four. I am not sure exactly what series I will use them for. I'll check the wheelbase when they come in and decide what they will fit under. My first notion was some roundy rounders. I also have a late model Trans Am series that I have been playing around with.

They have a long wheelbase and were used for the ALM cars. I cut my first one up this morning and made it it fit under a 917.
