National Championship Series Chassis Fixture
by Precision Slot Cars

Way back what seems like a long time ago- chassis builders started their tasks with music wire, brass sheet, and a useful tool called a “jig”.

The slot car chassis jig was patterned after 1:1 racing chassis building fixtures and allowed the scale scratch builder to create a slot racing chassis where all of the parts lined up straight and true.

In recent years, builders of “stamped” chassis slot cars discovered that using a chassis jig or fixture could help them build straighter and faster slot racers.

One of the leaders offering custom stamped chassis building fixtures is Precision Slot Cars of Warren Michigan. Their latest chassis-building fixture allows the builder to set up and build the following types of stamped chassis:

Champion Turbo-Flex 4” - Champion Turbo-Flex 4 1/2” -  F.C.R. 4” -   F.C.R. 4 1/2” - Parma Flexi 5 4” (1/8” and 3/32” rear axle sizes.

Precision Slot Cars NCS Fixture

 

 

Yes- you read that right; this one fixture is designed to allow straight and true building of all of the chassis types that are used in Parma’s “National Championship Series” of races.

Information on the FCR National Championship Series can be found at: www.fcrseries.com and the new Flexi National Championship Series can be found at: www.flexiseries.com.

Because the NCS races are restricted to what equipment you may use in each division, aligning the rear axle bushings and guide to the rest of the car becomes important for less rolling friction. And as a bonus, the NCS chassis fixture allows you to build a chassis that tracks true and consistent on both the straights and turns.
If this wasn’t enough- the Precision Slot Cars NCS chassis fixture will help with the chore of straightening out chassis that have had a “meeting” with the wall or other solid object. The "plate" of the NCS fixture is a precision surface allowing for all chassis parts to be restored to perfect relative alignment.
Take it from me, being able to easily salvage damaged chassis certainly saves money in the long run.
