Putting them bodies to good use !

[Peterbilt]

Well, i found 3 bodies that are from those crapy nikko type cars. The bodies look very nice and so i'm thinkin bout building a chassis for one of them. I might also mick up a uggernaut body of something as well since i really like scale apearance trucks. The 3rd body will be shown once it is cleaned up.

I just cut the poor old Dodge in half :D gonna try and put a flatbed where the pickup bed used to be. Thinkin bout using 2.2"
wheels, but they might be a bit big.

I did that with an old Jeep kit. It ended up looking like a smaller Wild Willy's Too bad the suspension design didnt' work too well, causing it to flip over easily on top of the wheely factor.

I've got a Shelby Series 1 and a Viper GTS that I was thinking of at least upgradingt he electronics to fully proportional stuff so they are actually driveable.

After my dad and I get the lathe and milling machines going I'll probably work on making some custom parts for my cars. Especially my Raiders and the two new unknown cars I bought off Ebay (see my other post in General discussion). The Raiders are too much fun to bash around with, sure their slow and their handling is rather less than ideal, but so what?. I think modifying the gearbox for 48pitch gears with a slipper clutch, a ball diff, wider arms and decent axles ought to make the cars pretty fun to drive and nearly indestructable. Then I'll probably work on the custom built cars, etc. Eh, then again I might just buy some new cars.
