Arnie can u e-mail me when u get a chance. Wondering how the car is coming, Mike McDermott. my e-mail is rmcdermott4@cox.net

Hi Arnie :wave:

When will we see photos of the CW chassis???

http://www.rctech.net/events/snowbirds2004/index21.shtml
There are a few pics stuck in between the ones of the CEFX stuff

The new Pan car (oval) chassis from CW does sound exciting. Since mid-April is fast approaching, is there any update on production and/or a release date? Just got my tax return check and its burning a hole in my pocket. :cool:
Thanks in advance.

Take a look at CW website. That car looks like in the final stages of R & D. The rear pod adjustment looks "tight". Although not the first time I 've seen that(KGB has almost the same). Front end adjustments looks great. I can't wait to get hold of one. :thumbsup:

if iam no mistaken i believe they are some in the rc driver mag that is on stands now also.

BIGDON

Pictures of the CW oval pan car is in their website at::::

http://www.customworksrc.com/pancar.html

So what is the little gizmo like a trailing arm with the turnbuckle and pivots attached from the lower rear pod plate to the main chassis for?

It looks like a mono ball setup Glen.I bet the car will be capable of both mono and std tplate............atleast I hope.

rear steer link like the recent KGB Sniper prototypes
You just adjust the whole angle of the rear pod and T-plate

RC driver mag advertises the new CW chassis and has a feature article that also mentions it (Snowbirds) but the latest poop is their web site that says the projected release date is now "sometime in mid June." Sigh; guess I can wait a little longer to add this baby to my growing collection.

Realy like the new logo as well.

We discontinued the link on the kgb cars... it was cool idea for adjusting rear steer, but with a t plate on it always bound up.... u could get it free, but after a tap in the back it would bind then.. we tried all diff angles and such and it never felt like it chould,,,,

have u custom works guys noticed this at all????



KGB FACTORY DRIVER

Burbs: Yes on all accounts... I used to use it as "insurance" with the old 2 hole style TRC Spring Steel plates, remember the ones where the holes for the pod were too big. It worked a bit better on that car at the time, thats why I figured I would give it a go with this kit, but like you said you have to "baby-sit" it all the time and thats no fun.

Thats the exact reason for taking the time to make sure its right.

Arnie

Arnie,

I was told that you might know where Smith Street is in Providence? If that is the case would you please send me an e-mail and let me know of some good places......

We racers in Macon GA sure would like to see Custom works represented @ the 2004 Southern 500 Nationals at Echeconnee Superspeedway. I have only seen the car run on carpet and would like to see it run a low bank concrete track. The race is on the 29th and 30th of May.

www.echeconneesuperspeedway.tk (http://www.echeconneesuperspeedway.tk)

Arnie, that is why you need my T-plates.You don't need to worry about the holes and unwanted rear steer

Custom works wins ROAR NAT'S...Good job Arnie :)

Congrats Arnie, a whole lap huh!

Does anyone know the latest news on the Custom Works Aggressor oval pan car, like the price and when and where its going to be available?

Arnie is running the car today at C&W speedway in Asheville NC

Cool. As long as you don't run at Kranzels you would be ok. He don't let anything run their that he don't make or others can't buy. He wouldn't let me run my badger car from back in the day since the tranny setup they used was so much faster than any other car. Only car with a transmission to really be able to run with the direct drive CW vars back in the day.Tho I don't care much for DAVEY, he is right on the ball with that one, most tracks wont alow the badger because it was never distributed well, and the trannies were only available direct, which is covered under the rules of evry body that sanctioned dirt oval. it's a great car, or was, but limited availablity is what killed it, most places that will allow it to run only do so as a direct drive car.

meineke, i talked to Arnie last weekend and he said they are real close to finishing up they have a few small things to take care of and then send the finial design to the cutters. He said part of the hold up has been the influx of orders from the Spint cars and other products they sell. The sales have realy jumped lately. and that has taken up most of his spare time working on the Pan car. But he did say it would be real soon.

Arnie and Tommy ran the CW car last night,that is a sweet ride!Arnie made the A in only his second time on caps and had the 2nd fastest lap of the night!He says the car is close to delivery,just a few more minor tweaks and it will be ready.

Danny,

What's your take on the car?after getting to see it in action.

Arnie and Tommy ran the CW car last night,that is a sweet ride!Arnie made the A in only his second time on caps and had the 2nd fastest lap of the night!He says the car is close to delivery,just a few more minor tweaks and it will be ready.Does Arnie's car looks like any from these pictures from CW website? If there were any changes, can you tell what they are? Iam interested to know if they have revise the the trailing arms ? Iam refering to the last picture on the bottom of the page.
Here's the link to the pictures:::http://www.customworksrc.com/pancar.html

Arnie wasn't running the drag link set-up last nite,if i recall he said the car turned well enough that it wasn't needed.I don't recall much if any difference than that picture,i took some myself,when i get them developed i'll try to post.

The link is probaly for rear steer since there is only one. KGB had a link like that on the Assassin series and the Sniper prototype.

Hey all,

Yes, the link is gone. I posted on this thread a while back the reasons why it did not work out. It has been replaced by a much more "cut and dry" clip (similar to the ADX cars) that has both 0 and 1/2 degree on the same piece.

I like cars, parts, etc... that can do more than just one thing, as long as they are simple too. The car I ran last weekend at Ashville had a much more "messy" looking clip on it just for testing reasons. If you can see the messy clip in any pictures rest assured the production one is much simpler. All in all the bugs are sorted out, weight trimmed and the car still will look very similar to how it has been seen.

Not as good as I'd like to be about replying to posts, however if anyone has a questions I'll try and make a better effort to check back.

Arnie

Hey Arnie, What are the chances of some of the Orange team making it up to Coopers this weekend?

Hey Arnie good job at CW that car is fast and you were up on the wheel wish I could have got gone quicker on the start sorry if I messed you up!!!!!!!!!! It was good to meet you and Tommy and race with you had you pictured as a older man WOW was I wrong!!!!!!!HEHE SEE YA HACKSAW

Arnie:::::Can you post a picture of the last configuration of AGGRESSOR as you have run them last week in Asheville.....top view will be preferrable. 1 is enough. thanx

Henry E

Looks like an Odd setup on that car...Where did you find a setup like that...

How many different colors on that car? LOL The first picture looks like an old parts box blew up!

I told Danny thats the car "love" forgot, been dremeled on, ground down, and worse yet..... set-up by Humpty!

LMAO! I bet that thing was the fastest car there.

Nice looking piece, looks like there is plenty of room for adding and removing the motor. On the right side view, what happened to the nerf bar in front of the right rear that I have seen on other pics?

Meineke: Didn't plan on hitting the wall that night, it was probably the only thing left in the parts box.

ArnieArnie:::::The picture of your car that is posted here.....is that as much as you can get close to production at this point? Oval racing season is in high gear now. Hopefully, we can see that sweet car soon.
