FOX - AUSSIE RETRO F1 BUILD
Posted: Thu Oct 22, 2009 12:59 pm
Hi All
With F1 being added to the Aussie Retro race series I have dug out the soldering iron and put together a F1 chassis which worked well when I tested it yesterday at Hornsby Slotcar Centre.
Some details of the chassis: -
Rails are double 0.063"
Bracket is custom built of .032" Brass
All other brass is 0.063"
Fronts are independant running in a tube
Weight as pictured is 115gms - added 4.5 gms on front when testing to give 119.5 gms total
Now some pics: -
See you all on Saturday
