Hi all,
some of you may have seen the underfloor of this car already. It has been built as a slot car from scratch, that's why it's the most stable slot car we have so far.
Some facts:
7 studs wide. Fits 3 whole minifigs, even 4, when omitting the rear windows. To my own surprise it is possible to seat 2 figs side by side even in such a setup which increases the possibilities very much. Don't know why I haven't tried this before ...
The car has the usual slot car chassis with moveable rear and steerable front axle, see www.flickr.com/photos/er0l/10383446935/.

Here you can find a video of the Checker moving. It was filmed during an endurance test with the Checker driving nearly a kilometre.
C&c welcome as usual, thanks for looking.
