Very impressive! Freddie:thumbsup:

Looking Good... freddie

cool stuff!!

Are you going to have a powder puff class next year for us novices? I am thinking of purchasing a VISION.

Hot off the lathe,

All cnc rear bearing carriers. These are manufactured by JR Quarterscale. These are the stock parts for the Vision, they will also fit your Lightning. You will be required to use two normal bearings ½ X 1 1/8 X 3/8. You may also notice the difference in the material left towards the outside of the mounting holes.

These bearing carriers were made from 2” stock. This allowed us to leave some “ meat” around the outer edge of the mounting holes. Just another way JRQ Is making things better. And yes we have over 200 in stock.

Availability is a good question. The car in the picture is a Vanquish. They will be produced only and after the Vision’s are going out the door.

I expect the Visions to be able to ship before the 1st. of the year. As we manufacture things we are making 100’s of parts not just 10 of anything one thing. We will be set up to make cars faster than the demand. The $ 1200.00 car will be available when the racers want them, no more waiting 8-11 weeks for a silly car. We will be able to provide replacement parts for our cars all at a fare price, along with having replacement parts for all the other vehicles being produced by others, all at a fractions of what their charging.

We are going to bring this sport back into the reach of the average racers.

The Vanquish is a reproduction of a very well conceived car that was made years ago. We are changing just a few minor things on it and there will be a limit on those made each year. Even though we are manufacturing things for it today I have set it aside until we get the Vision up and running, and Jeff is right its not the $ 1200.00 car.

Nice looking car. You said that is reproduction of a another chassis. Is that a Cram Cracker chassis copy? I have one just like that except mine has the full rear and front bumpers. Chassis is easy to work on, and fast.

Nice looking car.The trailing arms and bearing blocks.Look like a high quailty part.Very nice Job. Good luck with it.

Thank you, I just finished up drawing a popular trailing arm. We should be cutting those and have thouse on the market in a few weeks :thumbsup:

great to see someone making a car affordable for the average racers. also, if you stock piled cars ready to ship like you say, would be great. some people don't like to wait several weeks for a car. but, want about your vanquish? why would you make a limited number of the vanquish cars...? is it...you think your limited car hopes to bring big money like the original car.... not trying to be mean. why would'nt you make more of this car like the rest of your products. if you make the rest of the parts already, well, that just leaves you to make the chassis. if this car was priced fare, i think, you would sell more of them. you mention cost and availablity until you mention your vanquish that changed i guess. i would'nt mind buying one next year. if price is affordable, are you going to start a list of racers wanting to buy a vanquish? just curious.

The Vanquish is a personal project period. I am going to make only 10 cars for sale each year. Any racer wishing for one needs to get on the list, and it already has three people on it.

The parts for all the cars and a car at a reasonable price are there for you, the racers. You should be able to pick up the phone get a quality part when you want it at a reasonable price.

I am making parts all winter for all the cars. I am investing a lot of money in hopes I can bring racers their parts, and new racers a car that they can come and join us in this great sport.

Is this really a good thing for all the other QuarterScale manufacturers? Just curious....

Is this really a good thing for all the other QuarterScale manufacturers? Just curious....

Lets just say this, they have taken advantage of the racers for how many years ?

$ 48.00 for a trailing arm ?

11 weeks for a chassis ?

Parts that look like they used a chisel to cut them out with ?

Two new parts that arn not even close to one another ?

Is it fare ? If it does nothing but make them step up to the plate and give racers a quality product at a fare price then so be it.

Because I sure am . :thumbsup:

I dont know if its because they are trying to take advantage of people and thats why the quality is not up to par. I always wrote if off as a supply and demand issue. And to be honest... there is just not a lot of demand. That means cars and parts need to be made in very low QTY to even justify building them for most manufactureres. In turn, that reduces your options for machine shops willing to take on such small jobs. Hence the low quality and bad turn around times.

Now, it looks like you are making an extremely large investment building these cars and parts in these quantitites. Thats awesome, dont get me wrong. But some companies cant spend that kinda dough to sit on parts and cars for years to come.

My opinions...

It wasn't meant to demean any company the question was ask is it really a good thing to all the other manufactures for this to happen ?

I cannot worry about other people. I am my own person doing what I feel is good business. I will provide a quality product at a reasonable price period.

I am on the front line I have people walking into the store that want to race. I have built a great facility and I am just moving to the next step is all. People are welcome to join me, its their choice.

This thread is for the release of new product, People can see things as they happen and know when they go to www.Freddieshobbies.com that it will be in stock and the part they bought today will be the same part they will receive 3 months from now when they need them. We will ship the same day as long as the orders come in before 3 pm.

Stuff looks great Freddie!

Looking to get my on car next year, no more substitute driving. LOL

How much are they going to be ,Will you still be selling it cheaper than the old manufactor, Robert :)

Is this really a good thing for all the other QuarterScale manufacturers? Just curious....

Following the same line of thought, were the Japanese auto makers really a good thing for all the domestic auto makers?

Since when did Ohio become another country? LOL
I like the idea of free enterprize. I think this is what the US was built on. If you can make a better mousetrap, you get the customers. Of course you have the option to pay what you want for the quality you get. I think it should be up to the customer. We all know the customer is right. Right?

The Japanese didn't build a Corvette and sell it at half the price... They thought up there own design and sold it for what they wanted, right? I understand what your saying, but did they go behind Chevy's back and build the parts and offer them to the public at half price? I'm sure some of you guys can think of things that the Japanese did, but I don't think its right to undercut the manufacturers out there... If you have so much money to invest, invest in the design of a new product and promote that... Just my opinion, sure a lot of people will disagree... I'll just keep supporting my local manufacturers as long as they are around...

Ever see a Tundra? Looks alot like an F150 if you ask me. Not any more tho. We're beating them suckers at thier own game now. (I work at Ford. My wife at Chrysler. and I drive a Chrysler) Buy what you want, you are free to do whatever you like. If you lived in Japan, I wonder if the same would be true.I'd never buy a forgin vehicle because they do not trade in a fare way in the US. The US auto makers can't just go to thier country and setup shop like they can here. So if you want to talk apples and apples, I'm ready for that. Don't lump 1/4 scale stuf in the same catagory as the auto companies.

Freedom.
Philosophy. the power to exercise choice and make decisions without constraint from within or without; autonomy; self-determination.

Denny, I didn't mean to be offensive. The answer really depends on your point of view. One side is that the imports put Americans out of work, not a good thing even though wall street did an even better job of it. The other side is that the quality has gone up to the point that the domestics are as good if not better than the imports, at least according to J.D. Power Associates.

Well I wasn't trying to get into the automakers industry or any other industry for that matter. That was brought up by someone else... I'm for a free country as well, and yes everyone is entitled to buy what they want... I just don't think its fair to make money off of someone else's design, time, and hard work...

I would have no arguement if Freddie Designed his own car and made thousands of them to sell them all across the states at that low price, yes that would help our sport tremendously by adding more racers, and I for one definitely don't want to see our sport go away... But to just downright COPY someones parts and sell them cheaper is just not good business to me...

I'll leave this discussion at that... Everyone has their own opinions and I just don't agree with some of the choices on this thread... I just hope JR.Quarterscale doesn't make a Body Painting Machine any time soon, or Chance and I will be out of work.... lol... :wave:

For the record, I own a Surburban, Corvette and a Buick. I can purchase new brake rotors for any of them from four different manufacturers not including GM, three of which are imports.

I hear ya Brent... Like I said, everyone has an opinion on this and i'll leave it at what i said... Don't mean to ruffle any feathers more than i already have, I've said my peace and ya'll (that was for the eastern folk) know how i feel bout it... lol...

Hope to see you all on the track soon! :thumbsup:

Denny, you posted just a heartbeat before I did. Don't give up so quick, I think we can get more mileage out of this.

If you give up, I'll be forced to go over to the National Anthem post and start talking about who is going to do the race invocation.

Lol... Sorry Brent... Looks like I'm the only one that feels this is not a good thing, so i'll go back to my whole and sniff paint... lol... I've said what i have to say for now... I'll see where this goes and chime in if needed... :thumbsup:

Good luck on the Invocation!

I never smoke while I'm invocationing, Will. Hey, can I do it in Islamic? I'll even bring a prayer rug. Man, nothing gets the pot stirred like religion and politics.:woohoo:

On second thought, I'd better give this thread back to Freddie before he banishes me from the track.

Shoot, to be honest in this day and time I could care less, if it is good for my pocket book and it fits my Rockit, I am down with it. The parts look GREAT.

I love the idea of some cheaper parts...Im tired of paying 40 plus for a trailing arm.

Good Job!!!

I for one think its great to have someone willing to spend his time and ( OWN ) money to help out the 1/4 scalers by making quality parts that you can get now and not have to wait for .... i've seen some of these parts first hand they are of high quality material and are machined better then the orginal ones ...

I can understand both sides of the fence. But a manufacturers part are not always the best made parts. So props to someone who steps up to make a better part and more affordable. I hope someone steps up and build some real quality tires for our hobby. Since no one mentioned the need for those round black things. Go man go!!!!

In all other types of R/C racing there are manufacturers making parts that fit different brands of cars (like RPM) They are doing the same thing taking a manufactures part,and make it of better material,or just beefing them up a little. Competion breeds better quality & better prices as consumers. Which we are,I think that would be a good thing. It will be great to be able to walk into a hobby shop and actually look at & touch a part before purchasing it. Even the pictures he is providing are awesome. If competion was not there we would all be running around playing with cox cars hooked to a string. now would'nt that suck.LOL :thumbsup:

JR :thumbsup::thumbsup:

If JR Quarterscales can make it for that price why cant the other manufactures make it for that price???? If they are not making money at say $48.00 for a Trailing arm, they should buy them from him and sell for $40.00 and make money.

This is what this sport needs thanks JR.

I was just making a point. This bad mouthing someone for doing this is not right in my opinion. voice your displeasure and let it be.

Joey

......

This will allow for some of us that might build 2-4 cars a year to have a place to buy parts in stead of trying to outsource a very small order that is impossible and have to revert to finding someone who has jacked up their price. If you take a price of a new car from a manufacture and price each piece separatly the car would be very expensive so they make their money from selling parts. That keeps the people that want to build their own chassis and make small changes to the geometry of the chassis not be able to buy the parts so we have more in a homebuilt car not counting labor than buying one.

Thats why I am in favor of what JR is doing.

back too the vanquish/gram cracker, are the parts for these cars going to be easy to get from you? and priced fare as your other parts will be? i have a line on a gram cracker chassis in need of parts.
