  1. I'm using this one right now.
  2. I'm with Chuck on his list too, I've love to see some 1/25 Power Wagons (WW2 and Modern for that matter)
  3. But they're both ladder frame and use solid axle/leaf spring suspensions on both ends, IIRC just enough in common to be a pain while trying to figure out which is which
  4. I suspect you're probably right
  5. I'd love to get m hands on kits of alot of the Aussie cars, The new Taurus SHO, Chevy Volt (yes, you read that right!), and the Fiat 500 (especially the Electro concept at the Chicago Auto Show this past year.) I could care less about most of the the exotics and the big Bentleys to be honest.
  6. I've watched a few on SPEED, kinda prefer that to NA$CAR and F1 to be honest.
  7. Which one, I'm thinking a redo the Highlux episode would be approriate
  8. Thanks guys, I don't even remember this one being announced back then. I may have to pick one up at some point if it's that good!
  9. If you connected them in series then yes, 2 AA's would be 3 volts, but if you wired them in parallel, you'd still have 1.5 volts, but double the run time.
  10. Not sure what the amperage of an alkaline is and I can't find the amperage marked on a pair of Energizer Lithium AAA's I have in front of me right now. If weight and size will be a concern, look at lithium batteries in either form.
  11. Sounds like you'll need ten 1.2 volt, 2000mAh, Nickle Cadmium Metal Hydride battery cells connected to each other in series. If you have some leeway with how many volts you need, you could try a 3 cell, 11.1 volt or 4 cell, 14.8 volt, 2000mAh Lithium Polymer battery pack as well. If you're limited in how much space you have, I'd look at Li-Po's made for "park flier" type RC aircraft since they're small and light when compared to Ni-Cd's and Ni-MH packs, especially at that voltage! BTW, 2000mAh is 2 amps, 1 amp hour in storage is the equivalent to 1000 Milli amp hours in storage if anybody doesn't already know that
  12. The Hell Drivers back, and still using Mopars! http://www.facebook.com/pages/TONNY-PETERSENS-HELL-DRIVERS/281264176843
  13. That commercial and the old AT&T Cable commercial with the black Viper Coupe are two of my favorites. Good job on this Vette!
  14. I'd love to see more van kits in general, hopefully Round 2 see fit to clean up the tooling for the GM G-Van before long, the drip rails needed it bad on the last few I bought
  15. We got one or two of these kits in at work and I've never seen it before in nearly 2 decades of screwing around with plastic and 14 years of working for retailers that carry kits It's an AMT Olds 442 that apppears to be a well detailed, modern tool, made like the AMT '67 Impala's separate frame and all form what the box art shows! http://round2models.com/models/amt/66olds-442 Was this one ever released and I just missed it, was it lost in the shuffle of the Racing Champions takeover and just never released until now under the Round 2 label, or is this a newly tooled kit from Round 2 under the AMT label:blink:
  16. Glad I'm not the only one who doesn't like it. I loaded up some Top Gear Demotivational Posters I found and it was a pain to get to work right at 1am!
  17. Possibly both, probably just in plastic. That could be a difficult car to Vacuum form out of lexan.
  18. Is it me, or did the front axle not look right?
  19. I think that was a hold over form the early days of the original car, not too sure if that goes all the way back to Hitler's involvment though.
  20. I'd still rather have a PT Cruiser (turbocharged of course ), but it does look way better.
  21. I thought that's what the TT was
  22. One thing that struck me on this car was that the proportions seemed closer to the original Beetles than the current model. When I showed this link to a couple co-workers, one of more or less said the same thing without me mentioning it in the first place. I found this comparing the Original Beetle to the New Beetle Then found this comparing the New New Beetle to an early Porsche I'll be honest, I kinda like the looks of the the 2012 and think it would probably look really good with fadeaway fenders and some other traditional Kustomizing (yes, I ment to put that K there ) done to it! Maybe kinda like this
  23. I do appreciate at it Pete, if you can PM me your address, I'll send a postal cashiers check right away while I'm there!
