Battery Info Needed
Joe Handley replied to MoparWoman Jamie's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
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. -
Battery Info Needed
Joe Handley replied to MoparWoman Jamie's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
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. -
Battery Info Needed
Joe Handley replied to MoparWoman Jamie's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
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 -
The Hell Drivers back, and still using Mopars! http://www.facebook.com/pages/TONNY-PETERSENS-HELL-DRIVERS/281264176843

That commercial and the old AT&T Cable commercial with the black Viper Coupe are two of my favorites. Good job on this Vette!

AMT Ford Econoline vans?
Joe Handley replied to Aaronw's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
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 -
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:

Does it mean anything?
Joe Handley replied to 935k3's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Possibly both, probably just in plastic. That could be a difficult car to Vacuum form out of lexan. -
New New Beetle!
Joe Handley replied to Joe Handley's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
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. -
New New Beetle!
Joe Handley replied to Joe Handley's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I'd still rather have a PT Cruiser (turbocharged of course ), but it does look way better. -

I thought that's what the TT was -
New New Beetle!
Joe Handley replied to Joe Handley's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
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 -
Iconic Motors
Joe Handley replied to charlie8575's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
It's interesting and clever, but I can't imagine that Shelby and Nissan will be happy with him though. -
Let me check with one of my local P.O.'s on that Tuesday, I think I have a can of Moss Green or Crystal Black CC at home that I can take in and ask if they can give me an answer. Thanks Pete, I appreciate it! Luckily, I won't be needing primer for this since it's being applied to the inside of a clear body, but it's nice to know what to use if I want to try it on Styrene at some point ) Luckily the Mopar stuff is one of the best lexan paints I've found, it's just as good as Pactra's R/C and Model Master's 2 stage lacquer lines and is priced comparably to them tooB)

Have you guys run into this color in a less than styrene safe lacquer and in a spray can? It's called Jeep Steel Blue Pearl clear coat and a guy on a couple other forums I'm a member of wants me to paint up a Proline '92 Cherokee body up to match his last one (drunk took it out ) that was painted that color. Problem is that the local dealer doesn't have any and there are two dealers that do have it but can't transfer it to this one and there is a nationwide back order on it on top of it
