In part 1 of a two part chassis building series I go over a few questions that I have received over the years. I then show how to cut apart the chassis kit and prepare the individual pieces for soldering. I also show how to mock the chassis onto an assembly jig and prepare for final assembly.
Ty for the basics of drag slot car i will make it ty so much
I feel like a kid again ! I used to want to convert model cars to slot , but with limited knowledge and materials I made one effort . My Dad had some old school Drag Racing set , scale was between HO and 1/25 . This set had two slingshot style dragsters , a christmas tree that had three yellow , literally , not side by side , one green and a red light on each side of the green . I was 9 or 10 years old and thought all I have to do is....take the dragsters apart and put the bottom half to my favorite model . I got the first one...tore apart and had started on the second one when Dad walked in . After he pointed out how much trouble I was in he pointed out a few things , like the damage to the motor and the fact the 1/25 scale cars wouldn't fit the track . Thought about the idea a lot over the years never pursued it though . I just stumbled across these videos a few days ago , and man oh man . My first question , and at this point all I'm familiar with are the models themselves , all I've seen are 1/24 scale videos . Are there complete kits motor and frame , gears etc , and is it 1/24 only ? Where can track be purchased ? This marks my beginning into making up for destroying my Dads dragsters , and actually living that childhood dream .
Doesn't matter what kind of world it is communication is key it's vital without it you might as well just fold up and quit! No excuses!
Thank you!
Thanks for the video. I am looking to get into drag racing and would like to build my own cars. Looking for any recommendations as far as jigs, chassis and anything else that would help me get started. Thanks
thats the jig i just brought but will us my other one thats the right width
Awesome video.
What size tubing to you recommend for that chassis?
Thank you.
David G thank you! I use 1/16” stainless tig rod, or you can use the .063 stainless tubing both work perfectly.
@@srcchassis4617 awesome, thank you. Looking forward to building that chassis.
David G Awesome! Hoepefully this helps out! Be sure to check out part 2 as well!
I've been looking for one of the jigs and I've had no luck can't anyone help me out
are these still for sale? i looked on ebay but did not see them and store web page was not up. would love to pick up a few of these kits to build if they are still for sale
Yes I do still have them for sale. If you email me through the website I will get you set up 👍
Where do I get that style chassis
Hey man awesome video I’m coming from RC car racing I build all my own RC car kits how hard is it to build a slot car kit
I think you’ll find it pretty easy if you build rc’s. These definitely are on a much smaller scale than say 1/10-1/8 scale etc, however they are much simpler in terms of amount of total moving parts and screws etc. it is a great hobby and I enjoy both rc and slot cars lol. Really the soldering and being a bit more of a delicate hobby are what makes it a fun challenge. I wouldn’t say it’s hard, just a smaller more delicate hobby vs rc
@@srcchassis4617 that’s awesome I want to try it out is there anywhere I can get a full kit from that comes with everything and I just build it or is everything separate.
@@srcchassis4617 are you on Facebook if so then we can chat on messenger
@@andymack3235 yes if you search SRC Chassis it should come up, I am free to chat there.
So why don't you take 5 minutes and flatten, smooth/sand and basically QC them before shipping to your customers? It's the little things that make a difference.
i need a 4 inch axle to use on this my 3/32 axle is short for this jig and thats the axle i use on my car any suggestions
Where do you buy the chassis kit and block?
Bearded Gamer I sell these on eBay. Just search SRC Chassis Eliminator PRO. And the jig is sold through Precision Slot Cars. They don’t have it listed on their website but if you email him he will make them to order.
Can't find where to purchase
Where's the best place to get them cut outs an axials and tires an motors in pa or where ever
Hello, I always encourage everyone to support their local track. I am not too familiar with tracks in PA, however there are many groups on Facebook who keep tabs on current track locations. As far as “cut outs” I am guessing you are talking about the chassis kits themselves. If so you can email me through my website www.srcchassis.com to place an order.
There is a track in York pa and Bally pa both of those are 1/8th mile tracks and one up in North East Pa. That's all I know of I am new to the hobby and just checked myself.
Are these blocks and kits still available?
The blocks are available at precisionslotcars.com also I do have them in stock, however my storefront is currently down, but hopefully it will be back up soon.
@@srcchassis4617 ok cool. I’ll wait and check for your site to come back up
