Let's Build Slot Car Prototype 1

Full Earth Workshop is a new slot car company! Digital racing has thundered into slot car racing and we are there with a new-fangled 1/24 track racer featuring full ball bearings, steering, adjustable magnetic suspension, and an adjustable wheelbase! Full Earth Workshop has joined up with Dr. Contrast (Automotive & IndyCar Designer, JD Orr) to create an exclusive, next-generation car the slotting world has never seen before!
The first reviewer of this car will be Travis, That Slotcar Guy! He will unbox, review and race this car on his awesome channel:

ln the 60s at least 2 companies, Dynamic and K&B used motor pods.

[@FullEarthWorkshop]

Yes…very little new in autos and slot cars. It is the mix of features with new technologies

[@MPSlotCar]

Cool stuff!

[@FullEarthWorkshop]

Thanks for dropping by! Doug

[@SlotCarWildman]

Wow really cool and can't wait to see Travis work this in his post.

[@FullEarthWorkshop]

Thanks Wildman! Looking to release first production of this chassis as a total kit in early 2024. It will be available on www.FullEarthWorkshop.com

[@rhysthomas209]

G'day mate , wow brilliant idea especially with motor pod separate just great for 1/24 cars

[@FullEarthWorkshop]

Thanks friend…yes- I want to bring new innovations to my favorite scale. I would love to get race classes going for this new chassis! Let me know if my mates in Australia are interested! Planning on production in early 2024, but will be working with prototypes first with a few selected clubs. Doug

[@jeffwhaley8493]

Very cool can’t wait to see more!

[@FullEarthWorkshop]

Hi Jeff- I have now finished the second prototype. It now has front wheel independent suspension and has been lowered…no hump!

[@gilbertoflores7995]

When will these be ready for sale?

[@FullEarthWorkshop]

Hi Gilbert! I plan to have the first kits available in March. The first kits will be available on www.fullearthworkshop.com Doug

[@aussieslotcar]

Hopefully , seeing as its 3D printed it could be replicated in 1/32

[@FullEarthWorkshop]

Hey mate! Hope all is well. 1/24 first…less competition. Then 1/32 later!

[@johnwalsh653]

Wow this is really cool! Is this something that would be able to be used to make 1/24 scale muscle cars from 1/24 scale model kits like Monogram Trans Ams and GTOs?

[@FullEarthWorkshop]

@@johnwalsh653 Hi John! Yes…this chassis is very minimal and allows many types…even open wheel bodies! It will be available early 2024 on www.FullEarthWorkshop.com

[@trekranger]

How much do slot cars cost?

[@FullEarthWorkshop]

Hi Trekranger! No pricing yet…we are aiming to be in the cost area of BRM, TTS, and Scaleauto premium cars. The latest concept has been refined. Now lowered (no hump), and independent front suspension, front and rear A-arms! The main chassis pan will be carbon fiber reinforced nylon!
