I love the Model A body that hot wheels just released, but I wanted a lower look than the stock version.
This is designed as a total replacement for the base parts of the car. The axles clamp between the two base plates, so they are easy to remove/change/adjust if you want to. The sample photo is using two rear axles from a Mostash casting but the rear axles from the Model A also work, I just wanted the white wall look, but as long as they fit, you can put any wheels in here. Depending on the size of your wheels, you may need to cut the rear of the cab to fit the wheels cleanly. In my version, I cut the back to the line of the trunk to give me space. You also have to cut off the bonnet if you want a large motor. If you choose a smaller motor, leave the bonnet on but you'll need to drill a hole in the base plate to join too. I just used a screw into the print for the front of the chassis and then to the body in the rear to hold it all together.
There is also an extension out the back of the model, this is so you can add things like a spare wheel, parachute (if you're making a drag car), picnic hamper or whatever you want. With the upper base plate, there are two versions, one with a motor and one with just a flat base to stick one too if you have another motor you'd rather use. The exhausts have been designed to fit without binding with the front wheels or the body. I made them a separate piece that you glue to the motor in case you want to make a different look and they print easier separately.
There are also two base versions, one with a nudge bar at the front and one without. The nudge bar saves the axles when racing.
I printed this on a Creality K1Max with stock settings and generic supports. A resin print would give you much nicer details and less layer lines, but I'm using this for racing, so it works fine.
