DRS-01 Pro-Strap Chassis Kit

The FIRST Spring Steel Slot Drag Car Chassis ever made!

Set the Pro-Stock Record in its First Race and is STILL SETTING THE STANDARD.

This chassis has been designed for the Blown Doorslammer or Pro-Stock class and all classes that use a doorslammer type body with a cobalt strap motor at a minimum weight of 90 grams. Our chassis has floating pans to make the weight instead of lead weights added as ballast because this class of car needs to have a means of absorbing the shock of the launch. The motor box has been designed for Group 7 or 27 Strap Type Cobalt Motors and when used with the correct gears, the motor angle and gear meshes are optimum. The Choice of The Fast Crowd!

Classes Recommended for: Blown Doorslammer, Pro Stock, Quick 16, and Brackets

CHOOSING THE PROPER CHASSIS CONFIGURATION: SDRA Pro Stock cars must weight 90 grams, and to make weight you will usually need to include the pans that come with the chassis. They may be left in place attached to the chassis or cut loose and hinged, if desired. Body mounts can also be made static or hinged. If floating body mounts are desired, a floating body mount kit intended for road race cars can be used. To hinge the pans, use .032 wire and 1/16" brass square tubing, as shown.

REMOVING PARTS FROM MAIN CHASSIS: First, put on safety goggles or glasses, then use your moto-tool fitted with the cut-off wheel to remove the rear uprights, and front axle holder from the main chassis. Cut tabs, then trim sharp stubs from both parts & chassis. If the pans are to be hinged, cut tabs to remove them, then trim sharp stubs.

BEGINNING ASSEMBLY: Trim flash from slots for uprights and front axle holder until parts fit easily, then, using 280 or 320 grit Wet-or-dry, sand top side of chassis and both sides of uprights and axle holder. If pans are to be hinged, their topside and front slot should be sanded also. Gray coating on steel should be removed down to bare metal. This will make soldering much easier, and save flux.

SOLDERING PARTS IN PLACE: Place chassis on heat-proof soldering block, then set one upright in place, flux joint and put hot soldering iron with small amount of solder melted on tip into seam between parts, then move back and forth slowly until solder smoothly fills seam. Repeat on other side of upright, then on opposite upright. Wash chassis with hot, soapy water, then dry, after each soldering operation. Don't forget to clean flux off soldering block each time you wash chassis. This will help prevent rusting, and preserve the chassis appearance. Solder front axle holder in place, using the same procedure. Add solder till joint is smoothly filleted.

BODY MOUNTS: Floating front mounts need a piece of larger tubing soldered to the chassis first, then the pin tubing inserted through from the outside, with retainer already soldered in place. Then the inner retainer is soldered to the pin tubing. The front mount can go on the front of the pan, or the front pad of the chassis itself, or the front axle can also be used the choice is yours. Rear mounts usually have a one-piece crossbar with retainers only on the outside. Again, solder larger tubing pair to chassis first, making sure they are lined up with each other. Solder a retainer to the pin tubing near one end, then insert the pin tubing through the floater tubing and solder second retainer to pin tubing, leaving a little side play. Be very careful with the flux and use very little solder, or the "floating" assembly can be soldered solid quite easily. Trim off pin tubing flush with the outside of the retainers, and you're through.

PAN MOUNTING: The pan hinges are made of .032 piano wire bent into an "L" shape and inserted into lengths of 1/16" brass square tubing. After the parts are bent, use the moto-tool to deburr the ends of the wire, then insert into the brass tube. Solder the brass tube to the front chassis pad, then solder the .032 wire into the slot in the pan. The rear of the pan hangs from the rear crossbar of the body mount, and is attached by small "L" shaped hangers, or a "U" that fits across between the pans.

FRONT AXLE AND WHEELIE BARS: Each has an axle with retainers outside and inside of both wheels. The front axle should be made from 1 piece of DRS-146 Stainless Pin Tubing First solder front axle in place on the axle stand and then using DRS-142 Retainers soldered or super-glued on each side of the DRS-148 Drilled Front Wheels. Thread the wheel, an inner retainer, another inner retainer, then the other wheel onto the axle and move them to the end already soldered. Now solder the other outer retainer to the axle and wash and dry all parts. Now solder inner retainers in place and leave enough clearance so that the wheels rotate freely. Wash and dry again, then oil wheels.. DRS-138 Wheelie axle assembly should be soldered on only after rear tires and guide flag with braid are installed.

DRS-25 KIT Pro-Dragbike Chassis

This chassis has been designed for the Dragbike enthusiast to use in all Dragbike classes. These are some of the most fun classes in slot drag racing. Where you can compete in the top classes without the large expense usually associated with high-end racing. This chassis is designed with a belt drive system and comes complete with a specific front and rear wheel, the drive pulley for the motor, and also the drive belt. Our rear wheel has the drive pulley built into the rear hub and comes with the rubber already mounted to the rim. The kit and assembled chassis will come with all the parts necessary to build your Dragbike that are not readily available in the slot car industry. We do recommend that you do use bearing's for the 1/8" rear axle and motor (at least on the drive side) to prevent wear and subsequent axle wobble that could hurt performance. Our unique design does not really need a body, just a flat piece of lexan, or thin aluminum to make the top of the gas tank, seat, and rear fender. Try the Drag Racing Specialties “blueprinted” c-can motors for the best performance! Classes Recommended for: Dragbike. Recommended Bodies: DRS-504 Drag Bike Shell.

DRS-33 GEN II True-Scale Dragster

This chassis is the one all you dragster fans have been waiting for. We know that the wedge type dragster body does not have a scale appearance. The wedge body has but one purpose and that is to go fast and it does that very well. This chassis is patterned after Swamp Rat 30. We chose this car because it is with out a doubt the most famous dragster ever built. After all how many Dragsters are on display at the Smithsonian institute in Washington D.C. This chassis is completely cut from spring steel; this includes parts like the steering linkage, bulkheads, roll cage, and the wing struts. This chassis uses 1/8" rear axle and a screw mounted c-can motor approximate weight is 105 grams.

READ INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE STARTING ASSEMBLY!

TOOLS YOU WILL NEED FOR THIS JOB INCLUDE:

1. Safety goggles or glasses with shatterproof lenses.

2. Dremel Moto-tool, with abrasive cut-off wheel; carbide burr for deburring edges and slots.

3. Wet-or-dry sandpaper, assorted grits (280 to 600).

4. Soldering iron with iron-plated tip made especially for soldering steel.

5. Heat proof soldering block.

6. Soldering flux, preferably Stay-Kleen, available at many good hardware, auto supply stores or Plumbing Supply.

7. We also recommend the use of 98% tin, 2% silver solder (Stay-Brite) or equivalent.

ASSEMBLY ORDER: please read and understand all instructions before beginning assembly

    1    Put on safety glasses, then separate parts from each other with cut-off tool, and deburr. Grind edges and tabs to assure good part fit and clean solder joints.

    2    Insert the motor mount tab in chassis bottom as illustrated on the right. After assuring proper fit, tack solder motor tab in position, keeping motor tab square with chassis bottom at a 90 degree angle from chassis bottom.

    3    Add chassis sides to chassis bottom one at a time install front axle in front axle slots as illustrated in fig.3 on the back of this sheet.

    4    After assuring a good fit, begin tack soldering the side in one side at a time, beginning with the front tab and working one tab at a time until the motor tab is reached.

    5    After finishing one side repeat processes with second side and inserting the main hoop and forward hoop of the roll cage as illustrated in Fig. 2 assuring the sides are square with the bottom of the chassis.

    6    After finishing the sides, and assuring that they are square 90 degrees from the bottom of the chassis, center the front axle in place and solder it in place on both sides.

    7    Install and solder chassis pin tubing in the wing struts as shown in figure 2 be sure to get a good solder joint as this will help to stabilize the chassis for final soldering.

    8    Add the last two roll cage members to the chassis then add the body mounts forward of the motor tab, and under the roll cage as shown in fig 2. Cut body mount tubing to fit body and deburr tubing to allow smooth insertion of pins.

    9    Make one last check that everything is square and true then make all final solder joints staring by filling in the outsides of all tabs, and along the bottom of the chassis where the chassis side meets the bottom, you should have one long smooth joint along each side of the chassis bottom.

    10    Make another check that everything has stayed true after you solder each joint.

    11    Add front pin tubing as shown in fig 3 for front body wing.

    12    Add tubing to front axle for front wheels on the top edge of the front axle as shown in fig 3.

    13    At this point it would be a very good idea to wash the chassis well with hot soapy water, and dry well.

    14    Add Wheelie bar axle (DRS-138) to chassis , and check all solder joints over the complete chassis, fix any questionable solder joints.

    15    Wash chassis and work area again with hot soapy water, use an old toothbrush to get everywhere on the chassis and dry the chassis thoroughly..

    16    The best advice we can give to maintain the chassis is to wash it well with HOT water and soap, and dry thoroughly, we like to use “Neverdull” Brand cotton wadding to polish the chassis..

    17    Once the chassis is finished we recommend Genuine DRS accessories to complete your newRace Car.

DRS-SW13 Inline Chassis Kit 5 ¼ Guide Lead

Use with 1 1/16th to 1 1/8th Diameter Tires.

Fits: Revell Pontiac Trans Am Pro Stock, Olds Pro Stock, Revell '83 and Monogram '86 T-Bird Pro Stock kits.

We've heard your requests for a real Pro Type Inline Chassis for Hardbody racing, and the DRS SW13 is one of several chassis we've developed to respond to those needs The "California Style" of Hardbody racing makes use of both normal and large, wide, "scale" tires on older, "nostalgia"-style bodies.

As model kits of these cars are not as wide as later cars, and generally have a great deal of body tuck-under or curved sides, it makes tire clearance a major headache, even with existing sidewinder chassis and components. With the larger tires, an inline chassis is usually a necessity! Until now, the choice has been limited in the selection of parts used in the construction of inline chassis. The popular choice has been the brass style, "U-shaped" bracket that fits the rear axle, and has a provision for a screw in motor.

This is a stamped and folded piece that can have any number of problems, such as poor alignment of the rear axle (makes the car dog track as it goes down the drag strip) and most importantly, the alignment of the motor and axle! When the motor and axle are not aligned properly, it make a good gear mesh impossible. The axle and motor shaft MUST mounted at the same height.

The first advantage of the DRS SW13 solution is the front nose piece. It allows, depending on body type and personal preference, the front of the body to be mounted at three points: straight off the front, or to the sides of the nose with two different locations. Remove the pair of side frame horns that are not needed. It also has an adjustable front axle mount, which allows the use of a incredibly wide range of bodies, from muscle car favorites of the '60s and '70s all the way back to Gasser models of the '30s and '40s! And, of course, it will also work equally well with those lexan bodies that have been hard to use with a conventional sidewinder setup.

The DRS-SW13 chassis features a sturdy, precision .050" steel Motor Tab to mount your motor with screws, and rest assured, our motor tab and pillowblocks are exactly aligned properly for maximum performance. You will notice that the motor tab has provisions for either horizontal or vertical motor mounting. It also will take our new four screw motor mounting system that we developed for our new Gen III Motors, again either horizontal or vertical. The pillowblocks are sized for 3/32nd axles. No more adapters, and Ball Bearings are now easy to use! The rear of the body may be mounted with a solid or "floater" tube at the chassis balance point, at the forward, higher upright hole, or the slightly lower rear hole (as shown). Holes are large enough to permit proper "float" with either .050" or .062" tubing.
