B & E Slotsport Planning New Chassis Kit

B & E Slotsport are in the final stages of designing their new 1/24 chassis.

First 3-D printed models were produced this week and pre-production kits are expected to be tested in May 2014.

The chassis is intended for "Hardbody" slot car use but has many other applications as well. The main chassis pan is in two pieces and the wheelbase can be adjusted by using different lengths of steel rod to connect the front and rear chassis pan.

No prices or planned release dates have yet been announced.
