Here is a resin body project on the 69 Daytona Charger. I reworked it for a Pro Mod look.

I have been busy designing a new chassis. Here is a quick look at the prototype. It will except N20 and N30 motors and uses a standard pickup system. The chassis will be black not white. I like white for prototypes, easy to see errors. This is the short version pictured and there will be a longer version. The picture is shown in the standard AFX wheel base position.

Thanks to kiwidave, dave632, GTS, for the kind words. Thanks to the thumbs up crowd alpink, jjwallace, and ecbill. I remember when I first started designing the carbon fiber chassis alpink asked if I could do one like the factory stuff. At that time I did not know how to do that. After some practice and a ton of mistakes I know what I am doing now....

Yes Eagle, your new chassis is looking great! Adjustable front wheel axles will allow for a few more difference wheelbases bodies.

Here is the final result of the new chassis design. It features adjustable traction magnets. A narrow rear to allow tires to be tucked inside body. It accepts N20 or N30 motors. The chassis uses a standard pickup system. It likes the Jag TR-3 or NC-2 pickups and springs. It will also accept the Tomy Mega G 1.5 shoes. Shoes are protected by Viper style frontend. It likes Jag (no sanding), Wizard, BSRT and Viper crown gears with just a little sanding. The pinion gear is the LifeLike small hole for 1mm shaft. The bodies are mounted to the chassis using snap in side mounts or screw mount like the 4gear. All parts to build this chassis are readily available. This version is the short chassis almost all AFX, Tomy, Tyco, type bodies will work on this chassis. Coming soon will be a long version and a narrow version. I am also going to convert the drag bike to this style chassis.
I am also building a new web site. It will be eagleracingusa.com. I have not published it yet, so you won't be able to find it. I will have it finished soon.

Nice work, I could never get my printer to make anything that small with accuracy so I gave my printer to my grandsons.
