The chassis will be built from balsa wood, in a manner similar to model airplane construction the bulkhead pieces will be cut to the inside contours of the body minus a few cm to allow installing foam to cushion the body on the chassis.

This one has simple front axle beams.

This drawing shows a slightly more sophisticated axle beam set up. It is designed to rock slightly in the chassis. It is my hope that having a small amount of articulation will allow me to build tracks with camber changes in them. Some articulation in the suspension will enable the mag tiller to maintain close contact with the wire. Allowing a track with a Corkscrew? The car will use two batteries wired in parallel so will retain the stock voltage for the electronics. They will mount longwise on both sides of the chassis.

The 1/24 car would allow both sidewinder and inline motor set ups. This drawing shows the motor mounted behind the axle which is common in RC cars because the mass of the batteries and steering components offset the rear motor weight.

Here is an inline motor set up.

Overhead views of the two motor mounting set ups. In the picture it appears the dark panels are under the batteries. In reality they would be above the batteries with magnets installed in holes in the panel to both retain the batter and provide electrical contacts similar to Wes's design.

Here is a side view of a sidewinder set up.
