These pods just arrived at the MRSlotcar Toronto location................they are sidewinder pods for FC-130 motors, and will fit,......the Mazda 787B, McLaren F1GTR, and the upcoming Shadow.
For those running on wood, these will be a good upgrade to your MRSlotcar cars.

The pods have a .5mm offset, and, are very stiff, due in part to the Nylon/Glass material used, and a cross brace that runs under the bushings and reinforces the axle uprights.(hard to see the brace in my photo, but, it is there) The pods have holes for motor screws , and come with rear axle bushings (the axle bushings have a 7 thou. recess cut into the circumference of the bore to hold oil).

The axle/motor shaft spacing accepts a 6.5mm pinion coupled with an 18mm Spur, .......or,...depending on the ratios you are trying to achieve for you track/motor used, you can use a 5.5mm pinion and 19mm Spur, or a 7.5mm pinion coupled with a 17mm Spur

These can be ordered directly from MRSlotcar, (Canada)  and I am sure a variety of your favourite shops will have them in stock soon.

Cheers

Excellent!

I have now done a few of these conversions for a some  of the local racers, and a couple of converted rolling chassis  are on the way to a few UK racers,.......the conversion is well worth the effort, particularly for those running on wood tracks.

This one has been done using the stock MRSlotcar pod movement control bits,.........using silicone washers above/below the pod "arms" helps things even more.

Cheers

Here is a MRSlotcar Ferrari 333 chassis, using the silicone washers on the pod arms.......this one has been built using a "Poly Neo" ff-050 motor (only the Flat 6 or the FF-050 will fit under the Ferrari), and for mid sized wood club tracks this configuration is very much worth considering.....this one is geared  7 x 29.
