I built this car recently to enter in the 2020 SCCA proxy. It turned out to be a great handling little car, especially for one of these proportions.
Here are some specs of what was used:
Cut down WRP guide tongue
Samson Classics spigot mount guide post
Scaleauto wood guide
Front wheels are stock 15.8x8.5 rear slot.it wheels
Rear wheels are 15.8x8.5 Slot it Air wheels
NSR Gt40 wheel inserts
NSR Supergrips in back
Policar 25k
Professor Motor Forged brass motor bracket
The driver is a pioneer, and the interior was made from postcard. The "leather" cockpit cover, is just a trick I learned from a model builder using masking tape and a sharpie to create a leather look.
The chassis is a torsion design, picked up from Chrisguyw's amazing builds. I used .055 main rails, with .032 on the flex section. The center pivot pin is .062 wire inside 3/32 square tubing.
I also employed independent front wheels. It needed more weight down low, and with minimal room I decided to put a piece of .032 brass on the bottom of the motor. I soldered the motor in to make sure it could not move with the extra weight, and then just lightly soldered the brass ballast to the motor can.
Very fun and smooth car to run!
