1/32 Asphalt Modified Build

by **RichD** » Tue Oct 14, 2014 6:34 am

I just saw this car at a show on Sunday. I would like to do a car in HO scale, HOCOC has a class for Whelen Modifieds. I have been using resin bodies, but one of the guys has done a couple of cars from sheet styrene, which is a lot of work.
Would it be possible to get the template for these bodies?

Here are some of our resin bodied cars.

And here is a scratch build.

The class uses Magnatraction and X-Traction chassis with the ears removed.

That is crazy.. realy nice for HO scale.. they look great!

RichD: That is crazy great! I will try to fit something to an old HO chassis to see how it works...

turbokev: Another thing that might make it easier for other builders when mounting motors - I find cutting two slots (with the Drexel cutoff wheel) into the motor mount at the east and west positions will allow the mounting of alternative motors. Some might find that easier than soldering the motor itself in position.
I will be watching these threads to see how these Modifieds play out - motors, tires, competition, etc.

Kev you are a bad influence sir and my wife says I can't play with you anymore.
I think it has something to do with the 6 I ordered after you twisted my arm.lol
Anyway tomorrow all 6 will see the Trioval called Riverslide at my buddies.
So far I'm sticking with Rabbits , but that could change.
