  1. Just picked one up tonight!
  2. Those monster rims look just right on that big of a car! What color is that anyway, it looks good on there too
  3. Yea, the shape of them on that car just doesn't look right either now that you mention it.
  4. Not a bad idea Eelco!
  5. I like it, but it does need a little chrome on the grill or something, all that matte black just don't look right.
  6. I've seen a lot of tops that look decent on cars, but this one looks wrong to me, especially in white Here's what it looks like in black;
  7. I was buying a couple items needed for charging batteries at work today and figured I need to spend a little more money to justify using a check........so here's my justification Don't know when or if I'll get around to doing anything with it, but I figured I might was well get one while I could still get it
  8. The pointless shaker is kinda dumb, but it's nothing compared to the top when it's up. That top just kills the lines of the car and doesn't even come close to looking right on the car.
  9. I'm using this one right now.
  10. I'm with Chuck on his list too, I've love to see some 1/25 Power Wagons (WW2 and Modern for that matter)
  11. 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
  12. I suspect you're probably right
  13. 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.
  14. I've watched a few on SPEED, kinda prefer that to NA$CAR and F1 to be honest.
  15. Which one, I'm thinking a redo the Highlux episode would be approriate
  16. 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!
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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
  20. The Hell Drivers back, and still using Mopars! http://www.facebook.com/pages/TONNY-PETERSENS-HELL-DRIVERS/281264176843
  21. That commercial and the old AT&T Cable commercial with the black Viper Coupe are two of my favorites. Good job on this Vette!
  22. 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
  23. 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:
