Todd thats the good thing about 1/43,you can get alot of enjoyment,and still stay on your budget! :lol:

[TuscoTodd]

Yeah - I mentioned this fun run to a couple of the other 1/32 racers here and we may end up with more than just my cars headed down there for the fun if all goes well! :)

ALRIGHT,some more contenders! Dave that CAMARO would look good with a big ol PROSTOCK SNORKLE HOODon it :lol: I`ve got 3 on the bench that`ll be running PROSTOCK Hey guys try not to forget to put either S (for stock)or PS (for prostock) on the passenger side windsheild,makes it easier on the host! thanks

[OldDogMotorsports]

yeah it would,what about tha guys over at ALAN`S 1/43 AND HO site? I know someone is making the chutes over there can`t recall exactly who it was though???

[OldDogMotorsports]

well I`ve been busy today,dug the OL YELLAR 57 chevy out of moth balls today,put some new slicks on tha ol girl and made a few passes on a TEMP. track 12 footer,still cranks pretty good,also dusted off the BADMAN 55 CHEVY I bought off of GUNNEY last year sometime and made a run with it,but had some tire rub, it has a CARRERA chassis and motor but I was hittin them with 18 volts too,so still out to school on it
next was an SCX CUDA,ran pretty darn good for a completely stock chassis and motor,but then again,18 volts wakes these lil suckers up,so as of today I`ve got 2 ready to start smokin some tires,the PONTIAC GRAND PRIX is painted and waiting on decals from germany to arrive (thanks again WALKER) and will start mounting the Mr RPM motor and doing all the tweeking,chassis is already stretched,with new rear wheels (aluminum)and tires then she`ll be ready for the POSSUM! get er done gents! :o :lol:

[OldDogMotorsports]

OL YELLAR Bites tha dust :lol: was doin a little more tweekin on tha ol girl so I decided to do a test run,ran fantastic but couldn`t stand the impact of the wall :o body is destroyed,chassis still hauls,so I just happen to have a back up to mount on this ol bad arse chassis and motor,think I`ll name this one WARPATH :lol: :lol:

[TuscoTodd]

Not sure how the traction is on plastic track, but I took a couple Artin cars to the commercial track last night to see how they would do with 12v and WOW do these babies SCREAM!!! :o
Which brings me to a question...
Are we allowed to add wheelie bars to the stock and pro-stock chassis entries?
It didn't seem to matter how much lead I added to the front ends of the ones I was testing last night - I could NOT keep them from jerking the guide pin up and out of the slot! :think:
Maybe the epoxy painted finish offers more bite - but with the stock tires, the only way to get it off the line was to roll into the throttle - which netted 2.6x @ 21.x mph times down the 55' strip.
Any insight on this is appreciated guys! :D

[ourwayband]

Shoot yea you can add wheelie bars to any of them..
Told ya these little artins were fast.. :D
The one plus on the Strombecker track is the metal rail..Light mags do tend to help keep them on the track.
Todd,even though I run 1/32 a lot of the time,these little things are just fun,and cheap fun at that.. :)

[ourwayband]

Hoos,sorry about OL YELLAR ..
Good thing ya got a back up..She may even be quicker now..

[TuscoTodd]
