Mowyang , i think I understand . But if you did not remove any of the vertical sides of the receiver chassis, then why remove the bottom and replace it with one from a donar? Was it to make it easier to thin the bottom of the chassis? It looks to me that was why you did it that way. Gettin,started now !!

ScottD961,

The one from the donor chassis would be the thickness of the bottom that was removed and when attached to the non-removed receiver chassis would add that amount in thickness...hence lowering the magnets and armature.

Remove only the bottom armature and magnet portions of chassis and not the sides of the magnet or armature compartment on the main chassis & slash the whole bottom thickness off the donor bottom to screw on to drop it when attatched to the reciever chassis.

Then the top material was removed from the chassis the same thickness as the thickness from the bottom that was added to drop the top gear plate and armature down.

Will now have to try this myself sometime...

This all sounds pretty complicated. Could you please just send one to all of us instead of explaining it? :o nd

:thumbsup:

ScottD,
bobhch got it right (thanks, Bob!). Here are a few pics to show the difference. The chassis on the left is from the
Jaguar, with the bottom of the motor box ground down to about half its original thickness. The one on the right is
from the Batmobile. The magnets have dropped about twice as much.

Feel free to keep those questions coming. Good luck with your B-mobile!

Thanks Mowyang ! Trust me there will most likely be more questions . I am making four of these chassis now! I bought two plastic hotwheels Bmobiles and I will convert them to this chassis as well. Yep, I'm gonna have a fleet !

LOL ! Thanks Bob ! When (IF ?) I finish them I'll post pics. Maybe I'll have a digital by then. What I would like to do is have a Bmobile slot to represent as many of Batmans ride over the years as possible
