1/24 RC Funny Car?

I've been having another project idea running through my head lately.  Usually when idea's run through my head I have to find or create something to put it down on paper.  Most the time I do not jump right onto the idea or the plan's.  But figured I would share what I have had on my mind lately.  Maybe someday or someday soon (maybe as I wait on part's from the secrete project?) I will start on this.  Who know's, guess time will tell and if you read my blog then the blog will show, haha.  So only the flat layout of the design.  Also, with this idea plan I would be running a Mamba micro brushless motor, slot car gearing as their gears use grub screws and would make mounting and swapping out a piece of cake.  Wheel's are a toss up, thinking maybe slot car wheels. Need to see how much I can fit under a small shell and also would be attached to the 3mm axle with a grub screw.  For the front would have a straight bar with the ends drilled which would house a 1/24 Losi micro steering knuckle and a spring above it while running a long screw through it all to allow for some suspension in the front.

Finally, if you decide to create something like this.  Please come up with your own design.  It would be cool to have a funny car class in a micro scale, would love to see what other's come up with.  But do the work and research on your own as I do and always do.  I am always willing to help, just ask and I will help as much as I can.

Micro's Micro's & More Micro's

As the title says, more micro's.  I recently have brought in more than a few new micro's.  One being the Micro Crawler, which I began to work on first.  I got a pretty ugly jeep body with it, which I had no intentions of using in the beginning.  But after some searches on Jeep's, I just went ahead and modded the body that I got with the crawler.  I was going for a Jeep JK-8 build, but after a comment on it's look and the body style, it looks more like the Jeep TJ-8.  So whichever work's.  See the images below on the crawler project, from how I received it, the aluminum part's I got with it to the tool box, scale jack and cooler, which is where I have left off.  I will try to update this with more picture's as I can.  Seem's I have been slacking.

The next micro's I have brought in, are 2 1/24 Losi Micro SCT's. One I will be converting to the new micro truggy.  The other I will have both option's for it, the SCT and the Rally.  I would post picture's, but I dont have any on my computer of them right now, along with the other 4 Micro T's that I am waiting on in the mail. So that make's, 7 Losi micro's that I have brought into the collection.  Who know's which way or weird idea's will run through my head.  Check back, and I will get more picture's up of the whole group and more on the crawler project.

New RC By Losi! I Want!!

Well as many of you already may know, Losi has released a new Micro RC.  The 1/24 Micro Truggy!  After of putting back project's and worry more about my family, the wait has finally come true.  I planned in my head of doing a truggy style build after the larger 1/8 scale Losi 8ight.  Good thing I never started working on my project!  So now here we stand, picture's and information for us to see, but nothing on the shelves.  So I guess we could say, I still continue to wait for a micro truggy.  Being that I have always had a passion for the Losi micro's and have to have a new RC every chance I get.  You can bet that I will be a owner of this awesome looking truck.  So stand by for picture's of my Micro Truggy when they hit the shelves and when I pick one up.  I will be more than likely going with the blue shell.  Looks pretty cool.

Losi JRX2 Restoration Project

Here is my Team Losi JRX2 restoration project.  Basically keep it as close to original as possible.  Obviously an electronic upgrade will take place.  Here is how I have received it and the little things of which I have added and have done.  This was pretty clean from the start.  After a more thorough cleaning and some new screw's added, this is where I have come to.  The rear drive shafts have had an aluminum sleeve added to them for a "bling" look.  Still in search of a buggy body and wing for this.  Someone may have what I am looking for, if so let me know.  Trying to find an all original, not a remake.

Coming Along, Almost There

Almost to where I would like to be.  Still need to get the rear end formed and find or remake the front wing.  Attach the panels which will be getting screw mounted.  Add number's to it, and than get my new wheel's for it.  Enough talking and on to some more pics of yet another "mock up"

New front wing mocked up.

Anyone have any 3Racing over sized wheel's for the micro-t in good to like new condition, contact me.  I am looking for either white or chrome.  I would like to get them asap if possible, otherwise I will be ordering a pair.  I can trade other micro part's for them or purchase from you.  Let me know as this project is coming to an end.  :-)
