Chassis for a George Turner Cheetah.

Fellow club member wanted a new chassis for his Cheetah as the chassis supplied in the kit is sidewinder and the club rules for the Goodwood class stipulate inline only.

   

Adapting a generic chassis design I use in my Goodwood cars to fit the George Turner (GT) car required wheelbase and width changes, moving the body posts around on the chassis to match the shell rear posts pitch, position and height, plus adding 2 front posts to the GT shell as this has a front central post which obstructs the inline boxer motor required.

   

Chassis has side mounted springs to the pod, no chassis rails at the rear, and a front torsion arm to the pod, movement constrained by grub screws in the spring caps. Rear axle mounted in Slot It spherical bearings, front axle can be height adjusted on grub screws top & bottom each side.
