Volkswagen bus T1 #51475 on another chassis

Recommended Posts

Hi all

Has anybody found a suitable on-road chassis which will fit under the VW bus bodyshell (#51475) ?

I have seen one use a Carisma M14 Golf GTI chassis, but I can't find it anymore :-(

M01 is too wide, even with major mods.

Looked at Traxxas LaTrax, but its too small.

Sportswerks also makes some 1/14 scale - but not much info available

Wheelbase should be close to 175mm / width up to 135mm

Wheelsize around 50mm diameter

Any knowledge / suggestions

Br from Denmark

Hmm, I didn't realize the Carisma chassis would work. Soon after they came out, I just fab'd up my own pan car style chassis specifically to fit the body. I only made one though....

I ended up changing the top plate after this pic, and cut my own motor/axle plates out of aluminum too.

The front had to be really narrow to get those tires/wheels under the body and able to turn lock to lock with no scrub and the stance I wanted.

I'll have to take some current pics one of these days....
