  • Scalextric Peugeot 908 HDI - re-chassied

    Picked up a Peugeot body from a fellow member with the intention of installing one of my adust-o-wheelbase hybrid slimline motor chassis.

    Power's a Scalextric Sport 25K motor with a 3.1:1 gear ratio from Slot It 9t pinion and 28t crown gears. Wheels are Slot It 17 x 8 all around with Slot It low resistance front and home made urethanes out back.

    Body was pretty carved up front to back for guide swivel and chassis and wheel clearance especially at the back.

    The exposed crown gear and motor pod were necessary as the body's pretty low back there. Could bother some and not intended as a proxy entry. I'm good with it.

    Tri-post mounted the body to take advantage of the side pan flex.

    Only cosmetics were fabricating a front splitter from .030" styrene sheet. Nice taking a break from the modeling work that takes me a lot longer than just the chassis.

    Stance is good.

    Weighs in at a hefty 106 grams so has a quite a planted feel on the track.

    Drives well but would like it lighter so more weight reduction is in order.
