Posted: Sun Feb 16, 2014 1:54 pmThey did several models, Rusty. Discontinued about 2 years ago. I bought up a huge bunch when they did but only a very few left on my website. They are easy and fun to convert. :D

Posted: Mon Feb 17, 2014 2:25 pmThe main issue concerning the Pull speed cars is that (I believe) all those were actually done as slot cars at some time, So if you went ahead and bought them when they first came out (as I did) there would be no need to convert. But, for those people who missed the original releases or would rather scratch build a chassis it's a good way to get a body. But, then the bodies themselves are made to do the loops so they are of limited appeal.
If the Pull speed bodies came out for cars that had not been slot cars before or some months prior to the release of the slot car they would be more attractive subjects for conversion.
Looks like yours is riding a little high in the front!?
