Underneath I was hoping to make something similar to this Porsche chassis, my best wooden chassis so far.
   
I could not work that out, this car is a bit smaller than the large 550!

Inspired by German builder „Claus“ I decided to try with a 1/43 scale motor.
He used it for this VW Karmann Ghia: https://scratchbuilt.iphpbb3.com/forum/9...t3540.html

After making a styrene sidewinder pod, my chassis turned out like this.
       
       

While test driving, I can't say I'm missing the s-cans and slimlines I normally use for small cars, this motor is better than I thought it would be. It is said to be 24k, Geared 10/29, and with 13“ wheels, it runs quickly and nicely. The car as in pics, complete chassis, body without a screen, interior or driver, weights 40g.
This will not be a lead sled!
I still need to make the guide wires go under the front axle, there is not enough space under that low front. I am also waiting for some smaller front tires.

For me, this opens up for making very small open cars with a full interior.

Cheers Carver
