One question....once you have all appropriate measurements worked out would it not be easier to draw it up in 3d. And make print files which anyone could then buy from you and then just print up?

[@SwiftSlots]

From your point of view I guess that would work, but from my point of view I have no understanding of 3D printing and almost no ability to work a computer.

[@Dubious.Bovine]

Got the mind going, like I need another project! The chassis would make a good candidate for 3d printing too, could potentially save a little weight compared to the resin?

[@SwiftSlots]

I'm not sure printing is much lighter than the resin?

Hi Rob, even though i prefer 1:32 scale i love your content, great video

[@SwiftSlots]

Thanks man.

[@Roland_Rohrle]

Strangely enough, I also have a couple sets of those old Carrera F1 axle and wheels sets to use on a 1/43 project one day. They’ve only been sitting around about 15 years so far 😂

[@SwiftSlots]

LOL, The bearings are a bit sloppy, but once the axles are shortened, I'm not sure if it's a problem. I guess it depends on how tight the tyres are in the arches? We'll find out in Part 2! I may end up making a set of rear bearings for a better fit. The axles are 2.2mm, not 2.38mm as 'normal'

[@raywest3834]

It's hard enough to make resin cars handle nicely due to the weight, I would think die-cast cars would be much worse.

[@darrenhall6400]

Awesome video Rob Wish I had your skill level

[@amraceway]

You can lightly tap the bearings on a metal plate to reduce their I.D. and then lightly ream for a better fit.

Hi, i am about to order the 1/43 chassis on your web site but it's quit hard to find the carrera f1 axles in France... i was wondering if i can fit some of the NSR axles and if yes i need your advice on witch one i can ordre. Thanks. your chassis looks great by the way... genius 😄

[@SwiftSlots]

Hi, if you contact me through my website, I can send you links to all the parts you can use from Pendle Slot racing. They sell parts or Carrera axles. Thanks.

[@SlotCraftMaster]

Great work, love Chanel, big subscribe from me! Keep up the good work, cheers

[@SwiftSlots]

Thank you very much 🙂

[@ungurdani8346]

Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe

[@SwiftSlots]

Thank you ☺

[@Gwirex]

Very nice job Have you ever made a 1/43 slot work on a Ho track guide pin conversion Thanks can wait to see if you did that

[@SwiftSlots]

No I have not, sorry.

[@merijnvanschaik4989]

I see you make the rubber mold by pouring the liquid rubber over the "oiginal".But, ho do you know where to open the cured rubber mold? Or is it obvious?

[@SwiftSlots]

O ring on the back.

[@OgaugeTrainsplusslotCars]

Good job

[@Avm68CC]

This looks awesome! Keen to have a go. I’ll head over to your website!

[@SwiftSlots]

Thank you.

[@slotr]

Another great video Rob, slotting up die cast cars is a whole new rabbit hole to go down then

[@SwiftSlots]

Rabbit holes are fun 😊

[@noleyestoad4477]

he calls it a aston martin vantage when the name is clear as day on the plackard smh people be so annoying!

[@SwiftSlots]

"annoying" if you only knew me, you'd know being "annoying" is the least of my faults 😀

[@SevenAteNine182]

Ouch, too much specialised work for a novice. Guess I'll have to stick to buying whatever I can find in stores

[@SwiftSlots]

If you don't try, you'll be stuck to whatever you can find in the shops. Why not just make a start and go slow, you never know, you may even suprise yourself.

[@SevenAteNine182]

@SwiftSlots really kind and inspiring comment. I've taken it to heart

[@conquestracingclub]

Rob this is ingenious. Love your thought process and creativity here.

[@bretfaulkner]

awesome.God bless.

[@SwiftSlots]

Thank you 🙂

I was watching the video and when you got the Carerrea axles I immediately thought no. Cutting down the axle gluing the wheel on isn't ideal but without getting custom wheels and and axle I am not sure there is an easy option. The Carrera GO car looks insane, a 25k motor and NSR tyres I bet that shifts 😊. Are you planning on doing a HO option because in the UK we are crying out for HO offerings.

[@SwiftSlots]

I used the Carrera F1 wheel set as the wheels themselves are 10mm, so fit the 1:43 cars very well. Once I have the tyres made to fit the wheels next week, you'll have a cheap and easy option for slot car 1:43 wheel/tyre combo. I bet you could find a good wheel in another brand at 10mm and I know Scalextric bearings also click into this chassis. I will go over some other options in part 2. This chassis is only meant as a starting point and can be finished in countless ways. I'm not going down to HO, although I do have a large collection ;-)

[@SlotCar2021]

@@SwiftSlots yeah I am sure there is an option maybe for other wheels. I have a Go track so maybe something to try, not the biggest fan of anything miller than 1/32 though. Good luck with your proxy race, when is it?

[@SwiftSlots]

@@SlotCar2021 The Proxy will be in about a week or so, I'm hoping it will be the next video after Part 2.

[@Bloodhound_GG]

Great video
