Chassis made from a two-component polymer printed in 3D using FDM technology for the BMW 2002 Ti in 1/24 scale. A combination of strength, flexibility, and lightness designed to get the best out of your model on track.
Two-component technology applied to the 1:24 chassis of the BMW 2002 Ti
The SRP801 chassis from 3D SRP is made from a new two-component polymer printed in 3D using FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) technology, which allows for the combination of two materials with complementary properties into a single piece: structural rigidity where needed and flexibility where the chassis must absorb track irregularities. The result is a component that, at 1:24 scale, provides a balance that is difficult to achieve with conventional materials.
Main features
- Material: next-generation two-component polymer, printed using FDM technology.
- Strength: robust structure capable of withstanding the stresses of competition and intensive use.
- Flexibility: absorbs vibrations and small track irregularities without compromising the geometry of the assembly.
- Lightweight: the 3D printing process allows for material optimization where it is truly needed, reducing unnecessary weight.
- Scale: 1:24, specifically designed for the body of the BMW 2002 Ti.
- Reference: SRP801.
Function and performance
A chassis is the backbone of any slot car: it determines the steering geometry, the transmission of forces to the rear axle, and how the assembly behaves in corners. The two-component material of the SRP801 allows the chassis to work as a living unit: sufficiently rigid to maintain the alignment of the mechanical components and sufficiently flexible to adapt to the track rather than fight against it.
At 1:24 scale, where tolerances are more demanding than in 1:32, having a chassis that does not deform with heat or become brittle over time makes a real difference in the model's performance.
Assembly and preparation
As it is a 3D printed piece, it is common for it to require a small finishing touch before assembly: checking tolerances in the axle, guide, and motor housings, and in some cases, a slight sanding or reaming of the adjustment points. This process, common among slot car preparers, allows for customization of the flexibility and fit of the chassis to the specific needs of each assembly.
We recommend verifying the compatibility of all components you plan to assemble (motor, mount, guide, rear axle) with the specific dimensions of the SRP801 before proceeding with the final assembly.
Ideal for…
- Slot enthusiasts in 1:24 scale looking for a lightweight and durable construction base for the BMW 2002 Ti.
- Preparers who want to explore the possibilities of 3D printing materials applied to competitive slot racing.
- Kit builders who wish to assemble a functional model with modern technology and next-generation materials.
Frequently asked questions
What advantage does the two-component polymer provide over a conventional resin or plastic chassis?
The two-component polymer combines the properties of two distinct materials into a single piece: greater impact and deformation resistance than standard resin, and greater flexibility than conventional rigid plastics. This results in a chassis that works better with the track and lasts longer under intensive use conditions.
Does FDM printing affect the dimensional accuracy of the chassis?
Quality FDM printing produces parts with good dimensional accuracy, although it is common for the housings to require slight manual adjustment (reaming, gentle sanding) to achieve the exact fit with the components. This is part of the preparation process and does not represent a defect in the product.
Is it a ready-to-assemble chassis or does it require prior work?
As with most handcrafted or semi-handcrafted 3D chassis, it may require prior finishing work and tolerance adjustments before final assembly. It is a component aimed at enthusiasts who enjoy the preparation process.
Is it compatible with other models in 1:24 scale or only with the BMW 2002 Ti?
This chassis is specifically designed for the body of the BMW 2002 Ti in 1:24 scale. We cannot confirm compatibility with other bodies without prior verification.
What type of motor or motorization is compatible with this chassis?
The manufacturer's description does not specify the motorization configuration (sidewinder, inline, or anglewinder) or the compatible motor format. We recommend consulting with our team before assembly to ensure you choose the appropriate motor and mount.
The SRP801 is a 1:24 scale slot car chassis for the BMW 2002 Ti, manufactured by 3D SRP using FDM 3D printing with a new bicomponent polymer. This material combines structural rigidity with flexibility and lightweight properties, making it an excellent base for both club racing and kit building in 1:24 slot car racing. Designed for hobbyists and preparers looking for modern manufacturing applied to classic slot car construction.
