Coool -- sign me up for the Tyco Roughriders! :thumbsup:

You have no idea how broke i am gonna be......
Great lists!

I'm gonna have to go ahead and sign up for one of those Tyco #2 Chevelle stocker(76 version)
Yeah, gotta get me one of those. Do you run quantity discounts? Colors? I want white.

Rich :thumbsup:

I've added to the original post above the 12 colors we offer, the new price for the new cars on the list do to the higher cost for materials to make all 140 new molds.

Is the 32 Ford Pick-Up for the T-Jet or Slim T-Jet?

I am so gonna be sooo broke this week.. you better enjoy my money Bruce..lol...when can we order?


Dave

Bruce, your not helping me in trying to kick the addiction. I guess I'll forgive you once more. Can't wait to see these puppies posted!

question 1 - This will be the the slim t-jet chassis .

question 2 - when will we be able to order ? I plan on puting the first 15 or so releases up next Sunday on my first auction back . I guess it's best to say if you see it on my ebay site it's ready for ordering thru my e-mail until the web site is launched.

The AFX stockers for short wheelbase Tyco pan chassis still in the pipeline? :thumbsup:

AFX Roughriders...cool!!!

AFX stockers as you see are being made first and then we make some core changes to adapt to Tyco narrow 440x2 . Just like we did for the Afx roughriders . made the tyco's first and then made the snap change. So yes we will be adding them most likely in May or June at the latest.

Is the AFX #14 Thunderbird stock car the 77 Tbird?

or wide pan short wheel base . sorry forgot to add that

yes to the 77t-bird afx stocker

Oh yeah. Ill be on quite a few of these. My achin wallet...

or wide pan short wheel base . sorry forgot to add that

You're THE MAN. :woohoo:

I'm gonna start diverting money this week. :)

Bruce,
Do you still have the early Porsche 911 2.7 RS or 2.8 RSR mold ?

Bill ,
i'm pretty sure Bruce has it if your refering to the TJET version that is. We had one based on the Bauer Porshe in the lineup before and i believe Bruce did a few pops of it recently. I did see a guy too at the midwest slot show making them in a decent repop if you need an alternate in the event Bruce stopped the Porshe production ? How about it Bruce ? BTW would be great as a convert to a LWB body I.E. Giperjet's Porshe Targa !

Dennis

Yes thank you Dennis....Thought it was the 2.7 RS by Bauer. Did they make a fat fendered early RSR version as well?

Bill,

I got this from BD on the bay a few weeks back. I think it is what you're looking for.

Yup, thanx Russ.

Looks like flares front and rear with a duck tail...that'd be an "erser"...RSR.
Come with glass?

I take it you are using the same materials as before? With Helen J gone we need somebody who 'does' light and strong :)

Which M3 is that? The E30, E36, E46 or (gulp) the current one?

Nothing for me at the moment, but I will keep an eye on that MG list!

Bill,

Yes, the casting comes with a very clear glass. I haven't done the minimal clean up required to install the glass.

Montoya1,

The casting's outer surface is actually smoother than Helen's castings. I do not think they use the same resin. IMHO, Bruce's bodies can easily be used without the need to paint them if the casting color is acceptable for your chosen livery. And they are light as well.

Race on, gentlemen.

Hutt :drunk::hat::freak::dude:

yes ,we still offer the porsche . We still offer the other cars we made before . Some we are re working and very few will be removed from the list and even those may return after some re work and repair. We use the same material and if anything I hope we improve our quality

I look into my magic crystal ball and see a mini froggy in your future Bill, complete with polished Fuchs and a dash mounted mini camera!!! :lol:

Nice to see ya posting pictures Russ!! We want more!! :thumbsup:

And to everyone out there lamenting the empty wallet syndrome, I'm right there with ya!! Thanks Bruce!! I will be setting funds aside myself..

Just returned from my meeting with the web designer . OUCH !! my wallet is screaming , but what we will get will be nice and easy for people to navigate thru the page . I should get the format of pages within 20 to 30 days and then I have to plug in pictures and info . So we will see .

Nice list of cars Bruce.

Questions for Bruce:

How soon can I get another Porsche 911 in the new lime green color? It will save me from painting one of the white ones I just got.

3) MGB Will this be the wide fender racing version or street version? I'll get a couple either way, just want to know which wheels I need to go with.

Anybody:

Speaking of the Porsche 911, does anybody make the Carrera rocker panel script or am I going to need to attempt my own decals?

Thanks.

Brian

Hi Brian the Porsche will be available in this color anytime you want to order it . The MGB is the street version . If you have a picture of the race version send it to me and maybe I can model it and release that too.


For those that are waiting for the big release I think for my sanity I need to put it off for one more week . Hope my wife does not see this ,BUT why pick this week and weekend to move back to our house . I'll never figure them out !!. Anyway I am still fine tuning the first 15 cars and I do not feel comfortable with the release in two days especially with no time to do it . So it will be next weekend . So please hang in there with me guys. Thanks

Happy Easter!

MGB???? WOOHOO I may have to get a couple of those. My father had 2 late 60's of them when I was a kid an a 67 Austin-Healey Sprite. That would make a great cast too... HINT HINT

Happy Easter!

thats next week, lol, or is it a Texan holiday.

hey, what's Bad Dawg's fleaBay ID? inquiring minds want to know...

He has been selling with the ID below. Below that is his ME page with cloros and pictures of many of his bodies. He lists on Sundays mostly. :thumbsup:

Hutt (stuck at 999) :drunk::hat::freak::dude:

I will have cars listed this Sunday. I always start around 5 pm pst. And with some luck some new cars :thumbsup:

I need an extra part time job!!! ... RM

This is for those that have not seen this yet

Just an FYI that in this Sundays auction on Ebay I will be releasing the first 15 of 65+ new releases of the Bad Dawg Slot Car line. My ID is **TRAXS** for those who are not familuar with the name. I will be releasing 10 to 15 every week until they are done . They will be put up as dutch auctions until the May date that ebay will no longer allow dutch auctions. They will be pictured in grey ,but will only be available in 4 colors of the 12 we make our cars in. The colors will be red,blue,yellow and white. The reason for this is until I complete all of the cars to be released I will be busy wearing two hats casting and molding/testing molds so if we limit the colors I can do both jobs. We will still be selling the other 125 cars we already make ,but we will only put so many each week on auction untill we complete the new cars . The other news is our web site is being worked on and should be up sometime in early May for orders and all the picture everyone has asked for .So, we have been busy and yes still around. and if you are in the long Beach Washington area this summer stop in to the store ( Traxs Hobbies )and take a few laps around one of our six lanes on the road course track .

Looks like a future road trip. Which is the best route from I 5, should I use SH 30 or SH 4? I would be coming from da South.

How is the new MaxTrax working? Did you get it set up in time for your store's Grend Opening?

Hutt :drunk::hat::freak::dude:

Coming from the south into OR if you like a nice coast drive you can cross over and come up the coast road to 101 . Nice drive ,but takes alittle longer especially if you like hair pin turns over cliffs. Other then that you can bring 5 up to 26 west and come over the coastal range to Seaside and again bring 101 up to Astoria about 25 miles and cross the Columbia River into Washington and again take 101 to Long Beach.

The update on the track .....Nothing yet. Not sure I have e-mailed twice to get status and tracking #'s and no answer . I'm sure some may view this as me being a pain in the butt,but this has gone on since January and now this is almost mid April and I am waiting patiently to open my store .I guess I am in a holding pattern again.

Happy Easter!

Thanks for the driving instructions. The TM has said we should drive up the coast some time. Hate to say no... :)

Bummer about the track, man. I thought that the track deal was all fixified a few weeks back. Must be in the mail or something... :mad:

I bet you have all your replacement MaxTrax now and are ready to open your store! Man, I wanna make a trip up there and race on that sweet babay. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Hate to disappoint you ,but if you come to race you better bring a track because mine is still in a holding pattern. I may get it someday.

How can this be possible? We all read that the replacement track pieces had been taken care of over two weeks ago. I am stunned. It must take a lot of time to get track pieces built. :(

Wow! This must be really hard on your business plans. I imagine the track was going to be the big draw to get traffic in the door. The delay must be costing you a lot of money. I hope sales of your new bodies go well so you can keep your cash flow positive.

I had a hobby business for 10 years and should have quit after 5. I lost a sizeable amount of money before I pulled the plug. I know it is a very hard row to hoe. I have a lot of respect for anyone who runs a business. Hang in there, Bad Dawg.

I hear what your saying .I guess we can't blame the maker of the track he has orders to fill and he has to wait to be paid before he makes it . I learned a big lesson on this one . I'm still blown away by that e-mail you shared with me telling how the other party involved really felt about doing the right thing . I think if other saw that they wouldn't think he's such a standup guy.

Can't wait for the website. Looks like I'll be able to put those extra AFX chassis to good use after all. :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

I think that a lot of us are waiting for the website...better make sure it's working good 'cause I think it'll be busy!
Let us know when it's ready.............

Thanks I look forward to being busy. If you need a taste I am open to taking orders anytime thru e-mail . traxshobbies@ymail.com just contact me and I take all forms of payment .Don't be shy
