Find the smallest tires you can for a good fit (I used Super Tires 1400 on the rear and QuickSlicks CB07on the front). The printed wheels are okay, but nowhere near as nice as a set of aluminum ones. On the rear I chose to use 15x8 wheels modeled after hubless CB Design wheels, and on the front I am using 14圆. The chassis uses a standard FC-130 motor (scalextric can motor) and 3/32 double flange axle bushings. I designed the parts with Autodesk Inventor and Fusion 360 using my above 'thing' as a starting point. What do you think of this new 3D printed slot car racing chassis? Are you into slot car racing? Let us know in the High-Tech Slot Car Chassis forum thread on late model body and chassis for 1/43 slot car racing.

The 3D printed chassis from the PCR team retails for $59.95, and you can find them at the Go Fast Products store.īrown says he’s also working on a 4800 sq ft slot car racing facility in White House, TN, which will host a 1/8th mile slot car drag strip and “one of the best king tracks in the world.” The new chassis design is available in red, white, orange, blue and purple, and it comes in 4″ and 4 1/2″ options sold in kit form or pre-assembled. They’re calling it “The Big Show,” and he says it’s all about “Big Money, Big Prizes, Big Trophies.”

plans to hold a worldwide event at SlotCars-R-Us’ “The Track.” Brown says he’s spent “countless hours in the research and development of fiber chassis and motors” and he’s worked with Boyt Johnson, Reggie Coram, and Wally Flemming.īrown calls the new part “a 21st century, high-tech, 3D printed chassis,” and along with the release he’s also formed P.C.R., or Plastic Car Racing as part of the rollout. In the past, Brown has offered “green tires,” a magnetic balance and an armature timing tool, and he was a developer and manufacturer of the first “timing can” as well. This material offers excellent strength and stiffness, good chemical resistance, and excellent long-term consistency in material properties. The PA 2200 material tested is known on Shapeways as White, Strong & Flexible, and it’s used in their SLS process.

Go Fast Products will be the sole distributor and promoter of the new, cutting edge design, and Brown says the chassis was printed in PA 2200 and is available from Go Fast Products or Shapeways. Now Brown is taking his 31 years of experience in racing and manufacturing slot car parts to create and offer, in collaboration with Rapid Slot and SlotCars-R-Us, a 3D printed chassis to the slot car scene.
