Nitro Slot Car
Has anyone actually took a 1/24th scale slotcar, a cox engine and mount it on?
I made a slot car chassis from an aluminum sheet
But i never got bearings, axle, wheels etc....

Re: Nitro Slot Car
I'm Terrible at fractions, 1/24 1/32 2/3rd? SIze? do you mean the small little indoor slot cars or are you looking a the Larger Gas powered cars like theses:

If I remember correctly, Cox at one point did manufacture a "outdoor" slot track for the 049 powered cars to race on ( one on Ebay went for Big bucks) I'm SURE you could install an engine on the frame you made. There is a National Association that makes Pulling Tractors with 049 power plants! Check this out:

On a quick google search, 1/24th seems a bit small, but it is BIGGER the the other sizes shown:
