LOL! WHEN WILL WE SEE THE TURBO SCREW!!!

I can't wait. My first car was a silver (with primer spots) 1969 Chevelle I bought from some old lady for 325.00.
I was paying her 25.00 a week for months, I think I still owe her about 100. I swear to God, If I ever win the lottery I will look her up and make her very happy.

LOL! WHEN WILL WE SEE THE TURBO SCREW!!!
Probably never. I'm afraid I'll screw it up, with a near perfect Turbo to copy from...

You can't make everyone happy, if they don't like it they don't need to buy it simple. I want a turbo screw, I want a turbo screw! WAH WAH !

Wahoo just posted that they're discontinuing production of the Turbo.

gives us the turbo screw Dan... I'll trade ya all my army men for one, heck, I'll even throw in my Reggie Jackson baseball card too.

Certainly not a Reggie Jackson rookie card. I am looking forward to the new chassis also Dan. Dave.

here's the latest on the chassis front:

Turbo Screw, HP7 - still in the works, but changing in priority, because of...

T-Jet - 100 sets of armatures and magnets will be in my hands next week. These will be distributed next week to some racers for testing. The feedback from the tests will be used to correct any problems, tighten up QC, etc... Based on early samples I received about 6 weeks ago, the magnets (ferrite) are on par and possibly a bit stronger than JL/AW magnets. The arms actually spun and didn't smoke or start any fires. There were some things that needed to be changed, which should be reflected in these latest samples. The resistance of this test batch of arms range from 2 ohms to 16 ohms.

Hopefully any issues that come up can be corrected quickly and we can start to produce an original T-Jet clone and Magna-Trac (Magna-Dash??) chassis in the fall.

A T-Jet slimline chassis will be released some time after a successful launch of the standard T-Jet chassis. I believe that this chassis has a lot of potential but the original version was very underpowered. We're going to 'fix' that. Along with the chassis we will also release a number of the original Aurora cars that use this chassis, like the 32 Ford Truck, Indy cars, etc...

more to come, including pics (by the end of this weekend hopefully) of a prototype of what will most likely be the highest detailed HO slot car that will ever be made to date... Opening hood, doors, full interiors, detailed engine. Stay tuned.

It's a good time to be in HO!

I would love to put those through there drag paces.

I think I missed something here, T-jet clone, sounds great,but is this the new name for the turbo screw or is this a totaly seperate project?

Sounds a sweet line. If the quality is anything like the the Dash bodies, they are bound to be winners.

I been bugging for that slimline truck for a few years now Dan, awesome news on the other chassis too.

Well, I just got my box of Chevelles. This has to be the #2 offering from Dash. I loved the cobras so they are still #1. The fit on these bodies is good. Overall a very nice slot car body. Now give me a turbo screw for it!! Another nice job Dan.

Amen and thank you Dan :) Can't wait for the slim-lines :)

WOW Dan... great news. I can't wait!

Yes it is great news.There is alot of time and money money money put into this.iT WILL BE OUT WHEN ITS RIGHT.

Tom,
Will you be at the show on Sun 6/1/08 Phila

I did it just to make you mad...
Doesn't make me mad at all , I just think it's kinda funny that you did such a good job on all the hard parts of the body , like getting those rear 1/4 panels to look right in scale , and what should have been the easy part - copying the front bumper & grille from the el camino - a part that makes a HUGE impact on the overall look of the car . Falls short of the mark. Please don't think I am bashing you or your work. I am just offering constructive criticism . This car looks good . It could have been Great . All of your cars look good , and they all could be great with just little detail tweeks here and there. But I guess the bottom line is as long as they all sell out , who really cares anyway !

Dan I always liked your stuff. A new Tjet chassis :woohoo: . I can't wait to see what the future holds.

From what I heard Model Motoring had great prototypes.
I understand that the prototypes were close to perfect.
It was the actual product that followed that tripped Model Motoring up.
Please do not let history repeat itself.........

Lenny, can you comment on the T-Jet at all? Is it going to be an exact recreation or is it going to get a bit of an overhaul?

Obviously a recreation that all of us that purchase easily and knowingly get a straight chassis every time would be phenomenal, but Marty crosses his fingers and hopes he sees a new version that you can pop a rear axle assembly in and out like you can with the new magnet cars.

Regardless of what is going into it, I look forward to seeing the outcome, good luck!

Tom,
Will you be at the show on Sun 6/1/08 Phila

YES BILL I WILL BE THERE

Juan Baldez might have said it like this"We will release no chassis before its time"I know,I'm dating myself.But Bob is still older. Tom Stumpf

So what now? The chassis will be handpicked in Columbia? Cool!

Will they be shipped in burlap sacks on the backside of a burro?

I'll bet Juan will cherry pick all the good ones.

Seriously though, great news from Dan.
