Our club owner had purchased alot of parts stock from a company that went out of business in an effort to keep supporting clubs in Japan.  In this stock he had a number of chassis parts for what was described as 1/24 C car.
   

It is a hefty chassis and not a great deal of adjustment to suite different cars.  However, it does seem a perfect size for the Hasegawa 1/24 C car series of models.
Additional parts have been collected to make a roller.  In this you can see the wheels I have put on the rear have a bit of room, but this I found later was due to the rear axle holders being fitted in the wrong orientation.  In this setting there is no way the motor gets close enough to engage the drive gear.
   


For my build I have chosen the Italya Nissan R90VP, for no other reason than I did not want to do another Mercedes C9 build as this is what I use in the 1/28 race series here.  Now with the axle holders in the correct orientation there is little room between the tires and chassis.
   

This kit splits the body in 2 and I guess for ease should be glued into a one piece.  However, I wanted to try something different and after a little trial and error have printed some tiny magnet holders and glued to the 2 halves,  Makes it real easy to quickly get to the back for any changes in tires or gears etc.  Time will tell if this was a good idea.
   

I expect this race series will have a good deal of carnage.  The twisty course provides a good deal of collisions for 1/28 scale.  The 1/24 scale is a really tight fit for the track.  Reports from other members so far in testing are that due to the weight it is very stable and gets times in the mid to low 4's  (1/28 cars in last race were getting mid to high 4's)

For this series the Cheetah motor is the only one permitted.
