A new chassis from MRSlotcar should hit the shelves during the first/second quarter of 2022, one that will work with either "hard" or lexan type bodies. (The chassis will be a separate kit, and will not replace the chassis' under the RTR cars from MRSlotcar.)
It is still in the final design stages, with lots of variations being tried,..those variations centering around finding an appropriate amount of torsional flex.
To that end, I have been really hacking up a pre production model.........using various length and thickness center pivot rods, The particular car in the picture is likely close to the final design, and while this version is for lexan type bodies, a separate top plate will be available for mounting "Hard" bodies. Additionally I have suggested that the MRSlotcar adjustable front axle block be used, and an adjustable guide tongue be utilised..and, both these features will be incorporated into the final design.
In its current state (as pictured) it is running on sponge tyres, and on the MRSlotcar commercial track it runs away from anything plastic..........I will be doing some more modifications in the next week or so on the Policar track to assess/maximize its performance on plastic with urethane/rubber tyres.
