I bought a bunch of these kits awhile OK. Relatively inexpensive at less then $10 and they are scale 1/32 cars. I had earlier purchased the Porsche 911 and was happy with the quality so I ended up buying
Mazda RX7
71 Nissan 240 Z
71 Nissan Skyline
60's VW Beetle
For a chassis I am using a flat pan brass with a Mineabea N30 that runs at 23K @ 10 volts. The size of the motor means a flat pan with good sidewinder gear mesh is easily done. For most home tracks this car runs well. On my home track this car almost matches the pace of any proxy car I have built as the track is small and this motor does not give up much to the larger more powerful motors on a small track. Motors cost less then a $1, and gears were bought for about 50 for less then $10. Lego blocks fitted with bearings are used for the rear axle. The brass plate is drilled and the Lego blocks attached to the chassis with screws.
This set up is inexpensive and easy to build that will result in cars evenly matched for home racing
Aluminum Rear wheels with the kit wheel sanded down and used as inserts.
Front wheels are independent wheels and tires from kit.
