hey can you take pictures of chassis? i didnt realized that aw viper bodies wont fit on g plus, srt, etc.. cuz of wheelbase its shorter.. i cannot find any magnet chassis to go with it.

bumpercar88 08-18-2008, 11:39 PM Not an AW, more acurate proportions. Looks like Lexan to me and a real sweet ride!

Bill Hall 08-19-2008, 12:04 AM Nice looking racer!
SwamperGene 08-19-2008, 12:37 AM It's on a Slottech T1 chassis which is made to take both Tyco and Tomy (SG+) narrow bodies or wide Tomy/AFX using a slightly trimmed G-clip, and ole' YoBear is the master of making 'em sit just right. The coolest part is, these creations get raced very heavily, they are most often found attached to the business end of a simple Parma economy controller....
...and far ahead of you.:freak:
Looks awesome Wendell! :thumbsup:

Yo!
NTxSlotCars 08-21-2008, 08:08 PM I put this one together a few years ago when the Hennesys were first tearin up the track. No one was making a Viper GT body, so I took that silver Viper from that brief tv hit............. oh, what was it called....... uuuuuuuhhhh........ well,......... ummmm, I don't remember the show. I think they're bringing it back as a Mustang this year. Anyways, I have a magazine somewhere on the Hennesy set up for the 24hrs of Daytona. It looks better than this one, but, I tried.

Thanks Wes! Tycos were so cheap in the 90s. They were everywhere down here, from Goodwills to garage sales to flea markets. You would usually find them thrown in with the loose HotWheel wanna bees for nothin. For years it was just 4 or 5 of us, racin each week, tradin, and buildin stuff. We liked the stuff we built. Since I found this site, though, I feel blown out of the water. I mean, you learn so much just lookin at what other people can build. Add to that, we recently hooked up with some more folks around here. Now ten to fifteen of us get together each week. One guy, "General" Lee, has been racin since '62. He's been building molds and stuff for years, and seems to know all about setting up anything. "I want to learn the ways of the Force, too!!" That kind of experience is also all over this site. I just appreciate going through these threads and learning stuff.
It drives my wife nuts!!!!!!!

In the 90s, Tycos were cheap, Ebay ruined all that around here. I set up a MySpace page and took flyers with the info to all the hobbyshops around to find more racers. One or two hits later, we ran across two different groups of guys that didn't even know about each other, or us. One group had been racing for years and didn't even know there was anyone else in TX interested in slot cars. Try it, you may be surprized. MySpace is free and you can post pics of all your builds on there.

Wes you are not far from the White Rock Racing Center in Westminster MD. Jack Hynes has three expertly maintained Commercial tracks, an original Bucktrax Scorpion, a Victory Lanes "Viper" and a Clubman which was formally owned by Tony Porcelli of Slottech. There is also a huge 1/32nd scale layout there called the "Venus Fly Trap 2".....let me put you intouch......
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/White_Rock_Racing_Center/?yguid=91745786
I basically call this my home track, I've been racing here (With Jack) for 13 years, he's one of the finest persons to get to know, hopfully one you find out for your self...Here are some pics of the tracks...
