This is the second setup of the 1929 Ford Model A custom with different valve covers and headers glued on. I left the injectors this time. This way I am able to drop the body just a little lower. In the background is another project. This is my custom A100 Dodge Truck using the Tyco version. I removed the vent windows, added a chute and different engine. It is all 3D printed. The A100 fits the Viper chassis nicely.

33 Willys Pro Mod, this one is setting on an Eagle Narrow inline chassis. I designed the chassis to fit our vintage F1 bodies and Front Engine Dragster and it fit's the 33 Willys just right.
So here is the second attempt at the 33 Willys in 3D printing. It is setting on a 4G chassis. It
still fits my narrow can motor chassis. The running boards look way better on this version than
the other body.

I like them both! 2nd one looks wider.

I agree they are both nice

Here is a new project I have been working on for sometime now. The photo's show two different 3D printed prototype chassis. The white one is in resin and the black one is filament. These are a work in progress.

So what is the difference between these and your original style chassis? Is it just the material or are there major design differences? Looking great no matter what!

All of the other Eagle chassis all fit can motors. This new prototype chassis is more like the SG, AW, Viper style chassis. It will use the push in bearings, armature and magnets. The chassis has adjustable traction magnets like my other chassis. It will use the same style pickup spring/shoe system as my other chassis. Hope that answers your question. |

Robert your chassis look awesome !! Is there much of a difference in the tolerances between the filament and resin ? I got a Filament printer but haven't really used it that much yet to know what it can do. Plus I don't like it. My experiences the resin is it's pert near right on. |

Hey Rick, same experience here the resin tolerances are better and it is smoother. The big difference from what I have seen on YouTube is that filament is stronger and stiffer. Those features are important for the chassis setup I build. However, the reason for the two builds is to test strength and stiffness between the two. By the way, I love the bodies on your new website. |

After testing filament vs resin chassis, filament is hands down better for use as a chassis. In my test filament showed to be stronger more durable and stiffer than the same chassis printed in resin. Bottom line the resin broke every time. So here is the next phase. The chassis has a front pickup shoe bumper for protection. The pickup shoes and springs are like my other chassis. It is the same as the Jag setup. The chassis is a little longer, wider and thicker than the Super III. The chassis uses two types of magnets. The stock poly mags from Auto World will fit. The step up from there are my Neo 42 motor mags and yes the push in. The chassis features adjustable traction magnets. I have designed several different styles of mag rims and they are all double flange. All in all the parts that are 3D printed are as follows: chassis, rims, crown gear, pinion. Here are a few photos of the next phase.

Good lookin stuff all around! Body, chassis, rims. Keep up the innovations.

For those of us who are not up to speed on 3D printing, would you please explain what filament is?

As I said I make the chassis out of filament, as already stated it is a type of plastic. The bodies I make out of resin. For me designing is major fun. Of course a successful finished design is even more fun. |
