Jada and Dub City packs ... the tanker completes a set that included both cop cars and the Bling truck. There was another one, but I messed it up when I tried to clear coat it. What's cool about these cars is that you can save the Rims for other customs. All you need to do is slip on silicone tires for an AFX specialty rims and you're off to the races. They're also made of a lighter die cast than Hot Wheels, and they have screw on chassis, so dremeling is less. They're wider than Hot wheels, which makes it easy to fit a Life Like power train in them. They run great, they're easy to convert and you get bonus rims too. Plus they have a wide selection of cars to choose from.

VJ says yeah to Jada and Dub City die cast cars!

totally outdid yerself on that one,vj!thats one mean lookin tanker!wtg again!have ya tried the maisto stuff?i saw some at zellers that were like 5 bucks,with screw on chassis aswell...P.S.do you have any handling problems with the guide pin so far back?just askin..

I put a dab of super glue on the chassis, then I put the chassis on the track and lay the body on top... this way I can be sure the classis lays as it normally would on the track. Once the super glue holds, I finish the job with expoxy. The pin may look psuhed back, but it's in the same position it would noramally be.

Wow!

Yer on a roll Jim!


What Bill said...WOW!

AWESOME DRAG BUG!!!! :thumbsup:

Wes

Thanks Wes... and it FLIES! It's a very light body, the only real weight is in the front, which is nice because it helps the guide stay in the slot. This is my 3rd Tom Daniels car... I think I may just do a whole 12 car line of them.... since AW won't.. lol!

the next one will be his "Quicksilver" Chevy wagon.

Holy cowabunga VJ!!!!! That is sick in an awesome kinda way!!! Dang!! :freak::freak: Sweet!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Yes, VJ, you have gotta be the resident Diecastconvertomeister! Buga Boo on a Life Like T Chassis - what's not to like? Nada. Zip. Zero. You are da man when it comes to motivating heavy metal.

Hutt loves it. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

you'll probably want to use the inside lane... hehehehe
actually, it's about as long as a AFX Vega funny car... so it handles well.
These life like power trains, with the magnets are GREAT for these conversions
