Should be able to Marc, I have one on the go, I shall see how it works out. I think Peter has done it already though!
Roland, if the models are of a particular car that raced in the series, the dimensions are 1/43 of that car, so no problems woith overwide or extra long bodies!

i like a challenge!
i´m in, as the Mini fits right in here and yes, it covers the guide (SlideGuide(R) )
but you need independent front axles, but i´m not 100% sure, maybe it can be done with a solid axles, too.


it even got permanent lights and a driver figure :)
fender flares would be cool, you can limit them, e.g. fender flares only adding 20% to widest body width. i´m thinking of flender flaring a mini for longer time, this would give me some motivations to actually do it.
host in, too. bet you guessed that already. but i´m also good with a single race or a us series, even international is okay for me.

Thanks for the invite, Marc
I like the rules or lack thereof. :shhh: It gives me the freedom to build my chassis my way.
Magnets or no doesn't matter but my builds are without. Converted commercial chassis I usually leave them in. It makes no effect on a routed ,taped or braided track. Flares are ok with me too. I promise not to build a 2" wide Mini! :whistle:
After the new track is built I will consider offering to be a host but that is premature right now.
I have a bid in on a Beetle and am looking at an alfa gtv. for body casting.
It should be fun.
Cheers Ted

I have a GTV, so don't invest in that one.

I confess to being totaly out of touch with what's going on with the TA series'es, but one thing I can say is that I think the average small bore TA car whether scratch built or not is going to be @ a big disadvantage compared to it's larger SCX or Carrera with guide flag added counterparts and if the small bore guys are O.K. with that then what's the problem????
That said a very nice gentleman sent me a BMW 2002 body some time back that I have been itching to build, Maybe this is my opportunity?????

Since the sports sedans will not be going up against the Pony Cars, It will be guile and cunning not brute strength and a wide track that will win the day :)
