"Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!" Sorry thought you were starting a Monty Python thread....

Seriously, very cool. I eventually will try the "brass thing". Meanwhile I'll enjoy your offerings. Waiting on the completed product!

Very nice Dave , man I'm glad you are doing the thinking for us, its outa my league.

Very nice Dave, sort of a podded chassis with the pod made out of brass instead of plastic. My brass class Chaparral will have a similar sort of arrangement only it is going to be a sidewinder. You will like how that one handles if the wire allows some flex.

hmmI think that is something to try for my next Tasman proxy car

thanks for sharing

Looks nice, Dave! The flexi-board chassis that Chris uses has always been attractive to me, too. The torsion bar control between the now-independent front and rear is nice and something that you find on some 1:1 cars. And from a soldering standpoint, the bottom of that chassis looks pretty clean to me! :text-bravo:

Cool concept Dave! Looking forward to seeing how this runs.

Lookin' really good, Dave! I agree with you on the Scaleauto guides; 1603-1608, they're all good. "Red is the new black"! :lol:

Dave -That is seriously crazy! The body is awesome, but the chassis is too cool. I'm always impressed that you end up making your motor bracket as well. VERY slick looking chassis.

Dave when looking at your pics, there appears to be a very small diameter rod ontop of the two pivot points. Am I seeing this correctly , or not.
It looks as this is holding the front and back ends together.
Can you confirm that foe me.
Thanks

Oh Yea Shotgun, if you start a new thread, maybe I'll post some pictures of my new top secret printed plastic flex frame that I've been working on as of late for a 63 Falcon and 66 Corvair.:)

If that rod on top isn't sized properly, the torsion rods won't work. As the attachment points of the torsion rods (square brass tubes) are moved rearwards, any pair of rods will get softer. So you should be able to tune the chassis by either changing the wire diameter of the torsion rods or the attachment points of the torsion rods. For running on an oval, you could even tune each side of the chassis to have a different amount of torsion.
