Re: Rocket chassis late model
I use to race slot cars as young lad and picked a lot of my soldering skills up way back then, which has helped me a lot now with these builds, Michael (dirtmodeler) has some great soldering tips and tricks on his forum site! I found these on google search as well which may help you along

I use a good Weller butane soldering torch and a nice silver solder as well as using a flux paste rather than a flux liquid! I find the paste works a lot better.
Notching the tube or rod I find very important to fit and finish as well

Re: Rocket chassis late model
Thanks Geoff, going to be sorry to see this chassis go to it's new owner in the US as it is turning out really nice.... going to have separation anxiety when it goes I think

Re: Rocket chassis late model
That is some incredable building talent, wow! Cant believe how realistic it is, if I didn't know better I would swear it is 1:1
