If I wreck it I'll kick my self. Has anyone made a resin chassis? If so, how durable are they and can they be worked? The Pull back Sprint Car chassis is quite narrow and I need to make room for the motor and build in a place for the bearings. I want somthing to experiment with. How difficult is the casting and would it stand up to racing? Frank : xslots Crab Alley Speedway GIT-R-DONE

I don't think people liked either at all. Most resin chassis are too rigid and unforgiving. No flex=lots of deslots.

They always seem to have a "tweak" in them somewhere. David Reinecke MotorSports - RMS Resins Chevelles and slots!

Man what is going on? I will be whitteling on the chassis tomorrow. I just hope it doesn't melt. Spring has sprung, Fall has fell, Summer's here and it's hotter than ... Blue Blazes.

There are simple versions, and more complicated versions. Assuming you haven't done one, by your post can't tell. They're not all that hard to do, and are usually very robust.

It just seems like a brass chassis would be a lot simpler than a resin one. Plus, it's modify-able or fixable should the need arise. Greg
