Great collection! Love the Dirt Mods!:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Cool, very nice collection. I like the modifieds as well. Neat looking cars

LMAO !

Jim has more modifides than most have cars!

Great stuff VJ. Based on what we've seen of your collection over the years, you probably should hire me to test and run all your cars.

SCM,
I started to launch that YT but if I did, I'd have to go dig out the DVD of Rudolph and watch the damn thing. ;) rr

As much as I need cool thoughts, it's a bit too soon for the Christmasy stuff.. "He's Mr. White Christmas.. He's Mr Snow!!" Oh man!!! :freak: Think we can combine an AFX woody with a T jet snow mobile and a tank and make a North Pole Mail delivery vehicle????

I finally had to join the local SCA chapter, (Slot Cars Anonymous), but it didn't help!!! RM

Hey RR... some are bodies are from Dash, some are from RRR.... nice bodies to play with.

As for joining SCA, like Randy... it didn't help.

All it did was give me access to more slotcar addicts, so now I have a few partners in crime. lol!

Rut roh!!! Videojimmy is at it again!!! Yeeeeeeeehehehehe!!! Looking good VJ!! I like them chebby vans, but the WB is too long for a Tjet chassis, and I need Sloooow!!! Nice job!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Love that wackey hot rod. Nice job!
hojoe

The hellraiser is all cool, Jim, whatever ya call it. Brilliant melding of the bods.:thumbsup:

Those wheels look great on the Mystery machine, too! :D

VJ, awesome group of Modifieds & #11 with the quad armature means business. The Chevy Van & especially the HellRaiser Hot Rod are very cool and it amazes me how you are able to stuff the chassis & pickup assemble under the bodies!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: ..RL

VJ,
You've been keeping busy. :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

thanks guys.... Im a BIG fan of the Life Like drive assembly... very powerful, very narrow and with those big rear hubs and silicone tires... VERY fast. I set up 11 sections of 15 inch straights and dragged it against a few Super G's and a Mega G.... it left them in the dust. I removed the traction magnets, leaving only the motor magnets for grip... which provided plenty enough traction. I could have made the body sit lower, but I liked the high stance.

It is easily the fastest car I've ever built.

as for stuffing them into a body... I cut off the front end of the chassis, pull the motor out, glue it back it at the rear and then cut away everything else... so I'm left with just the motor and the rear end... kinda like some 1/32 set ups I've seen. At 7 bucks a pop... you can't go wrong.

VJ, poor choice of words - amazed at how you FIT the chassis & pickup assemble under the bodies!!! Appreciate the description of how to install the assemble. Again, the Hot Rod is amazing!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: ..RL

I thought "stuffing" was the right choice....lol!

thanks again. I'm starting up another one this week, gonna be a bit different though...

I wish I could remember where I got those bodies though... I bought them on ebay about 5 yrs ago and they just sat in a box until now.

That's a cool Hot Rod, :thumbsup::thumbsup: reminds me of a high dollar midget sprint car. Thanks for the how 2 do's...RM

Cool hot rod :thumbsup::thumbsup: and you can't go wrong with a Scooby van

another one... sits much lower, kept the neo magnets

Small is good...those are very neat!!

Another slick car, Jim!
Did you notice a handling difference between the two now that the second one has the pickups behind the front wheels?

Hey Joe... There's a big difference between the two actually.
The Red one sits much higher off the rails and has much bigger rear wheels.
It's also missing it's traction magnets. It's strickly a drag car and it FLIES!

The blue one sits lower and has traction magents... I wanted to build one that I could run from time to time on a regular layout without fear of smashing up a custom I put a lot of time into.

They're both resin bodies, the Red one seemed lighter to start with and they smelled different from each other when using the dremmel on it, I guess they were different brands of resin? The Life Like power train is extremely fast and easy to fit in tight spots. It's become my motor of choice for customs (as you can see..lol)

As for the guide being behind the front axel... the Riggen set up I use has a very long blade on it (lengthwise not in height) so these things don't really slide much and stay in the slot well, especially the blue with the magnets.

I bought 3 of these bodies off the bay a LONG time ago, when I first started getting back into slots, probably in '02 or '03. I was disappointed they didn't fit well onto a tjet chassis and just sort of tossed them in a box. I painted one and sold it in a body lot on the bay last year ... now, I wish I still had it. I really enjoyed building these.

SAVED!
totally trashed ebay find... restored and saved.
I re"candied" it... replaced chorme pieces from 2 other junk bodies and came up with this beauty

VJ, Awesome Save and the re"candied" job is excellent!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: ..RL

Thanks Xracer.... gold paint, transparent red.... can't go wrong!
In opted to make the seats a little darker grey than the orginal white.

Whoa, that came out SWEET!!!!!!! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Nice save Jim. Very sharp!

VJ,

I find it very hard to stop looking at...WOW! That is one nice Cheetah S car.

Just for a bit of Trivia the Cheetah was made by Chevrolet originaly. There was a fire in the building were the original Cheetah race cars were stored which, brought the whole project to an end.

Almost all of the Cheetahs you see today are kit cars.

Bob...look at that "S" Car Go...zilla

I just did a search and found this...for just under $100,000.00 you could have one built to Factory Specifications from the original plans TODAY!

VJ you did such a nice job of painting this one up in slot car form. Bet I will be thinking about it at work tomarrow now. :)

Make sure you CLICK on the red Cheetah picture...it will Enlarge to the size of your whole monitor screen!!
