REVISED Mk2 VERSION
1:43rd Scale Die-Cast Car Conversion Chassis.
This is a custom made resin chassis set to convert 1:43rd scale Die-cast model cars (or small 1:32) into slot cars. The chassis is designed around the 'Slim Can' motor and a range of standard hardware as well as standard manufactures RTR rear axles.
The Slim Can motor can be bought from Pendle Slot as can the Carrear and Scalextric F1 axle sets. You will also need a motor pinion of a 1.5mm bore as well as a front guide.
This chassis is made around generic bearings, so most brands will just clip in with no problems (or maybe a slight ream). This Mk2 chassis has be designed so Slot-it gears can now be fitted, giving you a huge range of gear options, although standard Scalextric and Carrera gears will also fit. In fact, I suspect that a great many standard slot car parts can now be used.
As the chassis stands, a wheelbase of between 50-80mm can be made and the resin can be easily trimmed down to suit most die-cast car bodies.
The front end of the chassis has been left totally blank to give the best options for conversions. The guide block is a snug fit between the rails and can be sunk deeper into the chassis, or raised to suit your guide thickness. The guide can also be slid up and down the chassis for the best position for your build.
We are also offering a full set of 30 shore Urethane tyres to fit directly onto the 13" Pendle Slot alloy wheels, as well as Scalextric and Carrera F1 wheels to suit the 1:43 cars. The tyres will need to be glued and trued down to suit each car, these tyres will fit most 1:43 wheel arches. Also being Urethane, they will sand down very easily and have plenty of grip. The tyres and wheels could be cut down in width if necessary to form a narrower look if needed.
The making of this chassis and build up on a car has been documented in full on YouTube via my channel SwiftSlots. These videos are not only meant to be entertaining, but also form the instructions for this product.
