Thanks for posting these builds Chris, it’s always a pleasure to see your work and construction methods.
Cheers

Great to see these, Chris.
I would like to mount the body via the pans but it looks like you have chosen otherwise....is there a reason?
The angled pinion and Cox? crown wheel look interesting too, 1/8" axles?
Also I can offer a resin version of this body. The wheelbase suits a slotit GT40 chassis if that is your style.

Hi John,..........you can certainly mount "hard" (heavy) bodies via the pans, but, here are a couple of things to consider. 1/ If you incorporate hinged body pans, and mount via the pans, you are just adding the pan weight to the body, resulting in more mass that is "floating" around........if/when the pans (and attached body) move upwards and hit their upstops, there is more weight trying to "pull" the car off of the track. This is far less critical with "light" (lexan) type bodies, but over the last 20 years there has been a strong trend (almost universal) in "commercial" type racing to minimize "floating" weight, and hinged pans with the body mounted to them have all but disappeared. 2/ If you use "flex" mounted pans (as I have in this chassis), mounting the body to the pans does not add additional "floating" weight as the pans obviously do not "float", and therefore provide constant downforce.........so if you are wishing to "pan mount", I would advise a "flex" pan rather than a hinged "Floating" pan system. 3/Any time you mount a hard body (relatively inflexible) via the pans, you do tend to stiffen the torsional flex of the chassis a touch (especially if you mounting screws on the front and rear of the pans). This is not an issue as long as you keep this in mind during your chassis design/construction,.......so if mounting via the pans, I would use one wire size less than normal for your main rails. The angled pinion is from "ARP"......these are precision cut from stainless, and are of much!!, better quality than anything from China (Slot-it/NSR etc.) The one I have used is 48P (they do not make them in .5 module as are Slot-it/NSR etc.), so a corresponding 48P Crown is used (This one is a Parma PSE...dyed black)..........the resulting mesh/smoothness is wonderful !!. The Parma Crown is in fact a 1/8 bore, but, I have used a "reducer" to allow the use of 3/32 axles. (Parma do make the same Crowns in a 3/32 bore). I would not hesitate to purchase your resin repros, but, I do still have a couple of the original Aurora M12's left.  PS I would highly recommend any of the resin work John (Munter) does !!
