A couple of pre-war GP cars I've re-chassied, both were the late Mike Dove's cars.

Betta & Classic fibreglass Mercedes W25B.

This originally had a brass chassis that sadly didn't work very well and was massively overpowered...so I made a 4 part 3D chassis for it which was better but never really raceable.

In the last week I redesigned the 3D chassis to take a resin 3D printed pod that I also designed and printed.  There was plenty of ground clearance (3mm) so fancied getting the piercing saw out and making a brass plate to hang underneath so some of the old and some of the new.  There's still 2mm ground clearance which complies with CSCRA rules for the era.

This has a SlotIt 21k boxer motor, nice and smooth.

Front and rear axle height can be adjusted with screws before fixing in place with a dab of glue.

I must admit I don't like the front wheels on this, they look too small in diameter and will change them some time in the future.
