Project Mercedes W196 Streamliner (CSCRA legal).
Trying to scale a scale drawing didn't work so I printed it out, measured the actual print then rescaled to get the right wheelbase.
CSCRA rules don't define streamliner dimensions but the established CSCRA clubs like Wolverhampton dictate the chassis must fit the non streamlined version, this will be my guide.

Chassis options are either going to be PCB/brass/wire or a modified 3DP jobbie. I know my PCB chassis work great and that route is ultra satisfying when it works well but I'm interested to see if an inline SlotIt pod chassis is feasible.
