I have 3 cars that are inline and the rest are all sidewinders, so it was time to build an anglewinder. I am using a Piranha motor, not a boxer or long can motor. The chassis is set up for a Porsche 911 GT3 body, so with short wheelbase a boxer motor with all its torque would be too much for a short wheelbase. Using the s-can would be the way to go.

The chassis is made from 0.047 music wire; flat brass pieces are 3/32' thickness. Rear has 3/16' oilites, while the front axle runs in 1/8' brass tubing. The gears are Slot.it 16mm aluminum anglewinder gears (29/10). Slot.it axles. TSRF guide. Wheels at the moment are Slot.it 17 x 8.2 shorthub. Have CB Design 17 x 8 and 17 x 10 LMP wheels on order. Tires for the new wheels will be Paul Gage 20125LM for the rear and Slot.it 19 x 10 zero friction tires for the front.

I shake when I solder so please excuse the excess solder. The chassis works very well without the body (on order). Hopefully it will work fine with the body.









A post a while back was wondering about getting the motor close enough to the rear axle tube where they didn't have to use 19 mm gears on a SW chassis. The rear axle tube for SW has to have a piece the width of the motor removed with just enough left on the ends for bearings or oilites. The AW only needs a notch at the gear end of the axle tube.

Nice work. I enjoy seeing all the different chassis designs.

Nice job for your first anglewinder. Even better, you said it works very well. :) Like Harry said, I too enjoy looking at other people's chassis designs.

Nice effort there.
I like the thinking that went into this design.
Hopefully you'll post more pics when you get the body mounted :auto-checkeredflag:

It is great to see all the different designs coming forward with the brass builds!
I have never tried an angle winder (actually just getting ready to give my first go at a side winder!) - having pictures like these as a reference for ideas is AWESOME!
Thank you!
