For the resin-ites here at Hobby Talk, I snapped a few pics from around the cave of the new Mega-G chassis chillin' with some die cast that could be destined for the Pine-Sol and mold rubber . . .

Off-brand Saleen S7 fits the wheelbase, and really, that color has to go anyway so it is destined for the pine bath regardless.

Is the patern clearer now?

Looks like the Mega G just struck gold!!!!!

Talk about turning the slot car world on it's ear. WHAT A CONCEPT!!! We couldn't get the diecast companies to make more slot car bodies, so, guess what, a slot car manufacturer has now made a diecast body compatible chassis!!!

Way to go, Mega G+

I'm sure this has been asked before. Why can't they do wheels like the diecast cars have on slotcars? :confused: rr

Thanks Wheelszk

IMHO: Diecast equal a bazillion sold. HO slot cars equal way less than a bazillion sold. Vastly higher production numbers for diecasts lead to the ability to tool more types of wheels and still make a profit.

Very succinct and quite right. Also, tooling for injection molded plastic is pricier than for die cast as I understand.

Thank you for the way cool Christmas presents Wahoo Claus! You are the economic stimulus package for HO Slot Car dealers, the bringer of slot car goodness to us grown up kids, and the enabler of future slot car/diecast butchery. :drunk::hat::freak::dude:

Man, I want to try and cast this..., and oh yea..., ah man, gotta cast that..., oh almost forgot about... whao - breeeeeathhhh, and this one too...
Looks like a front axel mount will be easy, cut it flush, and add an axel plate...RM

Can-O-Corn!

So 'Doba.....you takin' orders? Guess I've gotta figure out how to "roll my own" with an inexpensive casting set. Any ideas where someone might purchase something like that?

Ok....so why not a chrome wheel cover of sorts that snaps inside? They could be very thin. Pop them out with a straight pin through a hole in the back of the rim. 5 different designs, 3 each- front and rear (cuz you know you will lose one some how) all on a tree alla model kit. They wouldn't even need to snap in. They could friction-fit or be held in with a dab of rubber cement. Golden!:thumbsup:

I found a couple JL diecasts that the chrome part of the wheel came off the car. Now if I can only find the actual parts that fell off I could check them out.. The chrome wheeled chassis in the comparison pictures looks good for starters, but variety is the spice of life!! Hopefully, individual Mega-G chassis' will be available soon!! I have 2 bodys sitting on my desk that need chassis transplants!!!

UtherJoe

I got mine last night and the chassis use for Customs is endless.... I can't wait for the chassis to be sold separatly.

Tomy hit a home run with these... deep into the upper deck!

Loose sets of RWL tires and nice street style chrome wheels and we're talking grand slam, out of the park home runs!!! Then again, the bigger Vincents should work with these...Hmmmm...

UtherJoe

Damn, I really gotta bust out my resin stuff and start casting. I have a 350Z already, as well as a whole slew of bodies that'll fit this perfectly...

And that challenger is just BEGGING to be done. Kowalski version 2.0...

I don't want to rain on anybodys parade especially when it's looking so good; But what effect will the longer wheelbase have on exhisting track ie curves and clearance?

whats the accually wheel base measure on those new mega g's?

I see 1.7'' mentioned and quoted a lot.

As Mr. Spock is very fond of saying, "There are always possibilities". Here are some of my old casts and projects sitting on a Mega-G. It's going to be a fun winter playing in the workshop.
