I'm pretty sure it will interest plenty of people, just curious to what GT40 body did you make the chassis for? If it's for a 3d printed body where did you get the file? I'm pretty interested in doing it!
Cheers,
John.

I'm pretty sure you could try to accommodate the chassis onto any 1/24 GT40 kit. But I made the chassis to fit this kit:

Fabulous!!!

I have a bunch of 1/24 kit hard bodies this may fit ranging from the many different 1/24 Fujimi GT40s, LS GT40 and Chaparral 2C, Hasegawa Chaparral 2D, Group C cars, etc. as well as for use of the rear motor carrier alone for adapting to almost any 1/24 or 1/32 diy scratch

Nice one!
Chassis wheelbase can be easily modified to fit a specific car, track width not so much.

I've just printed your chassis and can't seem to figure out how you did the gearing! Can you post a few pictures of yours please? Seems to me the chassis is to wide or have you used a motor with a extra long shaft?

Hi, the Mk1 chassis was designed around the set of 1/32 gears axles etc, I had available at the time which are in the description:

The MK2 chassis had more development done to it and can accommodate 1/24 wheels, 3mm diameter axles, but both were designed around a flat6 motor (normal lenght shaft).

The motor you are using on you project seem to be taller than a flat 6. Not sure it will enclose properly.. (I should probably design a couple of more motor mount options in the future)

I will take some pictures later when I get back home.
Let me know how you get on.

Also.. A quick note: the crown is meant to go the other way.. You can acheave that by cutting some of that axle extention. The crown lives on the inside. Or I think that's what I did?

Okay,what gearing are you using? Because the spurgear will have to be a smaller diameter than usual for a 1/24 BRM car.
I've just been looking at your files and worked out there two different files, cancel all my questions, and I'll print the right one ! Sorry about that!

John.

It's dificult for me to remember exactly what was used on the MK1 as I ditched that project for the MK2 (by MK 1&2 mean the chassis and not the GT40 Mk-something).
In the Mk2 I've used:

• Scaleauto Nylon Spur Gear 37t (19,5 mm diameter)
• Slot it 11T pinion (6,5 mm diameter)

Hope this will help.
Ps: the MK1 was originally designed as a quick and cheap conversion using 3D chassis, motor mount and wheels to accommodate supplied tyres with kit etc..
