Who ever gets the mystery machine, The purple tail lights are probably going to be a bit too bright. A coat or 2 of the TM's nail polish will tone them down a bit. Also, PM me if you have any problems with the lights, and I'll either send new LEDs or fix it until it's right.. I had a ton of trouble with them purples!!

I battery tested it and it was ok

Is it good on a 24v set up?

Tyco Tom

They should work good on 12-21 volts. The Tjet chassis may not be very fast on 12, but it'll stay on it's wheels better!! 24 volts would be pushing it a bit. I can't set these up to handle every possible voltage yet. I'm working on it, but haven't got the voltage regulators or heard from that supplier in a while.. For now, i'm using simple resistors and they only work within a small voltage window. Higher voltage, causes the life span of the LEDs to drop significantly..minutes instead of years...

Utherjoe

So my 72v drag strip is out of the question?

Uuuuuuuuh, yup!

56 volts may be a little much too...RM

Well, it's the only way I could get my cars to run faster.

Thanks Ed and everyone else for making my day. :) This is what HT is all about to me.....slots made by everyone! Love them all and all your jokes too. :lol:

I am just plain tired and worn out from making cookies (Mmmmm) and Fudge (Mmmmm) and buying presents ($$$$$$$$$$) and, and, and....

Thanks again Ed, really appreciate your efforts here. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Dave

That is so funny, I like the idea. Hey honey, look what the Easter Bunny left in my baskit.

Dave

Will a Tyco fit in a regular egg?
Did anyone ever get any gifts wrapped in the Leggs eggs? Remember those? Someone in our family always saved them for Christmas for small gifts. As a kid I never really thought about it, but now it seems pretty redneck funny.

then 4th of july we could have everyone do there cars having to do with the 4th, like everyong use red white an blue, anything just as long as it had a 4th of july theme to the car

We could use Super III's and have fireworks after 4-5 laps too!


Dave

One of these days, I'm making a car for me!!! LOLOL!!! :rolleyes: I like the idea though!!! Easter bunny cars, 4th of July cars, Halloween and Christmas!! Not a bad concept!! I don't know if they sell Leggs anymore, or if they do, in the eggs... But there's usually oversized plastic eggs available around Easter anyway! I'm cool with the idea!!

UtherJoe

I'm sure we could come up with one every three months of the year. However, we must make this worth Ed's time and energy if he would agree to administer the exchanges. I would suggest at least two participants, maybe more, offer up a second car for exchange that Ed can keep. He chooses between the two you submit. One for him, one for the exchange. I'll send two for the next holiday if this gets kick off.

Ed, hope you don't mind me suggesting you take on this task. If it's too much. Maybe we can solicit candidates to do it once a quarter. Just kicking around the Idea you've made so dear to us participants. Merry Christmas!

Bring on the suggestions.

:thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

I'll go for two for one of them... I don't mind sweetening the pot!! I had so much fun with this one!!!

UtherJoe

Ill do either 2 for 1 or help with hosting one

So Ed...she should have arrived by now....

You get the pursuit special yet?

ok.......so I didn't find the time to stop in chat and say hi to everyone........instead, I busted my butt to get all cars wrapped up and ready to go in tomorrows mail.
yup

EVERYONES CARS, PRIORITY, LEAVING TOMORROW MORNING

Please note:
When I finished wrapping everything up and piling them on the cooking rack, I noticed one Tom Stumpf/Dash body laying on the table? I opened the last 4 boxes with an exacto to see if one of them was missing. nope. So maybe I had an extra body, or one of the boxes is bodyless.
Everyone will get a trade car, but someone (just one) MAY be missing an extra body. If its you please let me know.

:woohoo::thumbsup:

what ya send me, huh huh? tell me, and I'll tell ya mom got you...


Dave

Hey, my box was empty!!! I've been good!!! :cry::cry::cry: RM

oh boy oh boy :woohoo:oh boy oh boy!

Anyone want to guess which car I kept? (zilla and B.Hall not allowed to guess)

I couldn't even begin to guess... Too much good stuff to choose from.. Every one was a winner.. Add in someone elses personal taste only makes it harder.. No idea!!!:confused:

UtherJoe

Scooby Van!

Scooby Van!

Close, there was about 6 cars I couldn't choose from. Sethie ended up getting the deciding vote. (that should be a give away)

That would make the only logical choice the Doba "Norse God/ Cheese head/Hotrod Comic Yellow Chebby Look out Drag Race Fans Here I Come!!!" to venture a guess... If I know kids..... Or the Hilltop suburban 'cause it's Christmas time and it's red and green... hmmmm...

UtherJoe

You'll be hearing from our attorney!

I'm guessing Doba's Cartoon Chevy and I'm also guessing Seth only held 25% of the vote, just guessing now mind you. :p:p ...RM

You'll be hearing from our attorney!


hahahahahaah

OK.....Where the heck is that "Postal" person........I wanna see my car

Got my package today!:thumbsup:

Got mine today, I like it. :thumbsup:
Dave

My parcel showed up today, too.
I am STILL laughing about it. :thumbsup:
This peice is perfect!
Ed, you know me so well.... (and I'll figure out how to get even! LOL)

Dear Mr. 2008 Christmas exchange Slot car builder (You should know who you are by what I just shared about Ed and what he has chosen for me)
What a GREAT slot car! I am delighted. :thumbsup: This slot car is typical of your skill and execution....Top Shelf! It is surely a favorite now to be raced and displayed among its other fine brothers built by my HT friends.

Many thanks to you and Ed! :wave:

Surprise, surprise! Mine arrived today. Just wish I could remember who made this one. Have been looking through the threads and haven't found the pic. Even the bod from Tom was a great addition. Ed thanks again and Tom a great thanks to you for jumping in. :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

WOOHOO!!!!! The "Postal" person showed up today with a box from "Secret Santa". In it was a really cool _ _ _ _ _, _ _ _ _ _ made by _ _ _ _ . The 55 Chevy body from Tom is cool. AND there were some really cool figurines i'm guessing from Ed. Hope everyone likes their "Santa" car as much as I like mine. Are we keeping it a secret the car we got ???? Here's the letters that will fill in the blanks. :rolleyes: E N E R G, K R U T C , O E J Z.

Hope this helps you figure out what I got. :wave::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Win,
Is that a new version of hangman? Lucky you! :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

crimrick and billhalls cars arrived after the picture shoot, has to be one of theirs.

.....

Great, First complaint already.
Guys, I know most of you enjoy this, but I think next year I'm passing the torch and someone else can handle it, this was supposed to be fun and I tried, but I am not dealing with "expectations".
The rules where posted on the first page, but more important, its about fun/happiness/and sharing.

Say what?

Schucks! I wanted to be the first to snivel.

All I got was a really bitchin' "blankety blank" , a flawless pearl white "hoopty doop" and enough groovy "born bines" to choke a horse!

For all you do....many thanx Ed. I know you agonize every lil bit of the exchange. Looking forward to the final posting when we can spill the beans.
