New chassis design announced by Flyslot
These are the first CAD images of the forthcoming Flyslot Alpha chassis to be released. Cars with this chassis are scheduled to begin arriving sometime in the new year. The design is simplified over previous Fly chassis and looks sturdy and workmanlike. It is shown here with an FC130 motor installed but it looks like it could accept an FK130 with few or no modifications other than the use of an adapter ring. Note the magnet positions both forward and aft of the motor. The design appears to give ample room for tires of any width that might be needed.
The CAD drawings show the chassis as configured for a Porsche 917K body, and sure enough, a 917K is among the first Alpha-chassis cars announced for production, along with a Ferrari 512S and an all-new Porsche 997. The longevity of the Fly brand has been in question for some time now, but we will take the new product announcements as signs of the company being able to get itself on a more sound financial footing and move ahead with new products. There are indications that the new Alpha cars may carry significantly lower prices than previous Fly / Flyslot cars. If that is the case and if the new chassis and the cars built on it can overcome the company’s long-standing quality control issues at a better price point there should be real optimism for the future. We will have more complete information in next week’s newsletter.
