Well we're having another 1/43rd proxy race, this one is NASCAR themed. We drew numbers to see what driver's car we had to make. I got #24. I already had Gordon's regular car and i wanted to make something new rather than just use what I had, so I decided to do his Pepsi 24 car. It is on an Artin 1/43rd chassis with an upgraded motor and better traction magnets.

Here it is:

Looks good! Like Always!! :thumbsup:

Nice! Keep thinking about an upgrade in scale everytime I see one of these or those custom 1/32s that people show off. :thumbsup: rr

Thanks.

That's an Artin toy 1/43rd, that cost me about $9 including decals.

Do you own any of the Life-Like 1/43rd cars? I have never seen so much as one picture!

I have a pair, they are terrible.

I'll post a picture tonight or tomorrow night. Unless I can find a picture somewhere.

Thanks.

m03,
Are the decals from Pattos'? rr

Yes they are.

I didn't get a chance to post the pic of the LL 1/43rds. Maybe tonight.

Here's the picture of the LifeLike 1/43rd Monte Carlo. To me it looks like the doors are too high and the roof is squashed.

Yuk.
Do the all come like that or are some painted up? They always look fantastic in the box art!

What is the chassis like?

I cones with deacls to put on. The box art is completely different. The box art on this set looks great. As far as chassis go; wheels are out of round, axles are bent. I can get them to run pretty good, but its a pain.

I guess the layout is similar to Artin? In fact I doubt that it is a LL chassis, probably made for them elsewhere...

Probably.

The Artin chassis are nice and straight, with straight axles and pretty good running motors, and the tirea are very good, after truing.

What is the best chassis to go for, the Go! ?

If you like magnet cars I woud say so. If you like to drift like you can with t-jets then Artin is the way to go. Go!!! takes 13-15 volts to run decently and Artin will run good on 7-9 volts.

Many of us 1/43rders are now building our own chassis.

A great choice for the scheme!

Those dupont colours were getting somewhat long-in-the-tooth, anyway.

As usual, Mike a super job all-around! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:



Cheers..
