More stuff like this, and I'll be moving whole hog into 1:43. :)

[transam6870]

El, come on in, the waters great. so is this 1/43 crew.

[ElSecundo]

Well, I'm doing my first 1:43 build right now. If it goes well, then I'm in big trouble. lol

[ElSecundo]

Yeah, maybe! :)

You know, what I really seem to need to go all in is:
1) a good source for the motors used in SCX 1:43 cars (without having to tear up cars to get them), and
2) a good source for scale-appearing wheels, tires, and inserts.

Jeez, I was looking at high-end resin kits on eBay last night, and there is some beautiful stuff out there.

Since Kihm passed (Slot Car Express), I no longer have a source FF 030 motors. Therefore I am looking hard. The motor available from Radio Shack will work but the shaft is shorter.

Keep on talking guys and you`ll talk yourselves into converting! :laughing-rolling: but don`t forget,the manufactures still consider this scale as TOYS! :laughing-rolling: but thats okay I`ll just keep on playing with my lil 1/43 TOYS! :music-rockout:

I really like a good looking wheel and a good insert, But at some point it's just as important to me that it runs good and the Ranch wheels run very well.

Honestly, In 5 years I expect that most of us will be building our cars from scratch with 3D printers!!
Makerbots are only $2,500. and 3D scanners MUCH less! As the technology gets better & cheaper we will ALL be doing it!

This brings about a million other options! First If you can create your car in any scale; what scale would you use!? I currently choose 1/43 for it's versitility, but if I can model my own buildings and people and accents myself in 3D and print them I would most likely go with 1/40 scale!!!! food for thought
