This post should probably be on the 1/32 forum, but its basis is in 3D printing. I wanted to give Chappyman66 a special thank you for not only giving us a replacement Artin chassis, but a much improved, and highly raceable version of that old classic. I have used up more Artin chassis than i can count over the years, and they are getting scarce. They never were meant to be anything special, just a means to hold all the needed components for the set cars. Chappyman66's improved versions offer the same basic , easy to adapt quality's of the original, and add the ability to print either can or bell mounting of the motor, and also a set screw dual front axle mounting system. I just built up a bin car today for testing, and i have to say, i am impressed with the results. I used an old FLY Panoz Esperante body i had, and some Leftover axles from a Scaley digital set car. i also used a Cartrix take out motor that had not been ran, and is rated at 17K. I slapped on a pair of my LMP urethanes on the rear.
After the usual truing and tuning, the car turns very quiet respectable times, equal to my pod chassis, on cars of similar weight and size. 7.850 on an 8. second track. Not to shabby, and im sure i can eek out a tenth or two more. All that rambling aside. Thank You Paul, for your improved design, and for the STL. File allowing us to have endless Artin style chassis'!

I’ll second your sentiments Paul’s contributions to the hobby in general have greatly expanded my building capabilities :text-thankyouyellow:

Ummm....wow. I am a bit embarrassed.

First:glad to hear and see that the revised chassis works! That's the whole point.

Second: I don't consider this to be remotely close to the brass and wire art that many can do. But having said that, I am glad that it will be functional for folks.

I like playing with slot cars.....just wanted to help others folks do it too!

You should not be embarrassed! There are so many people in our hobby that cant or dont solder. Some of my first kit bashed or scratch built cars were snaptite models on Artin chassis. Lots of fun to be had in that realm. You just took that obsolete chassis and gave it back in spades! I can solder with the best, but have no idea how to design or even change an exsisting stl file. Skills are skills, and they should not go unappreciated.

The great repro Dynamic tongues Paul drew up and printed. Fills a need for a few guys.
