A quick "review" of the www.bwaslotcars.com 1/32 brass chassis


BWA chassis assembly was VERY easy, no problems at all. There are no "instructions" included but really you don't need any. It's a real simple build. Slide the front half into the rear. Glue in the included rear axle bushings. 

(do this WITH an axle in place to ensure alignment) Then i't's just setting the track of the front and rear wheels.

 The NC-1 motor had the tip ground off for clearence of the crown gear. Parma screw and ca glue hold it nicely in place.

BWA assembled chassis from above.

To mount this SMOOTH running chassis in the camaro body I needed to extend the chassis rear with a plate. I then used Balsa wood blocks for my body mounts.


I chose to use BWA32005's in the rear w/ Ninco F1 tires. Fronts are BWA32001's and MRRC cobra front tires with the edges rounded more.

The crown gear is a cox with a copper tube bushing for the 3/32 piano wire axle.

Like I mentioned, this chassis runs around my carrera track Very smooth, and very quite. I had been saying I liked the EJ's monogram style chassis best. However after trying this one out I might just have found a new favorite. The BWA chassis is much easier to assemble than EJ's and if you dislike small hardware because of clumbsy fingers try the easier BWA's. If your interested in a real nice chassis with top notch quality and craftsmanship give Al Penrose a holler, his e-mail is bwapenrose@hotmail.com And his website is www.bwaslotcars.com Currently the chassis isn't listed on his website so I suggest you e-mail him.



 

Yellow/black David Reinecke 1970 1/2 camaro body. I painted it up this way to look like my 77 rally sport. This body is getting the BWA chassis. Interior will be just a tray type.

Another project in the works is this Blue David Reinecke 1970 1/2 camaro body I just clear coated. I'll be using a scalextric camaro T/A chassis.
