Wow, that first Road Runner pic almost looked real with the slight fuzzieness to it!

I've all but stopped watching NA$CAR and never really had much intrest in F1, I kinda wish more road racing was on any channel other than Speed (don't get it here ) and did finally get a chance to watch a TORQ race (it replaced CORR and in now sponsored mainly by Traxxas RC and AMSOIL) for the first time and I have to admit I kinda dig that........................and no, it's not just because I'm a Traxxas nut

If I were doing a real truck like that, I'd go for the x-pipe hands down. If it were for a model, it would really depend on the style of build. Now if it were to my specs, see the first sentence.......otherwide I've go to a more prototypical style of what would look right for that kind of rig. If it's more, and please pardon the expression, "Redneckish" for your area or low buck, make it look like autoparts store flex pipe or a whole munch of tubing pieces running from the manifolds to the stacks or something along those lines.

X2, wold look interesting with a Track T nose leading the way too

That would look pretty cool in that Vega

To be honest, I love the Watanabe's too, did anybody ever make a version of the Quad 4 or teh EcoTec in styrene or resin?

This was posted on Jeep forum yesterday http://www.amgeneral.com/vehicles/hummer/ As well as this I'll be honest, that Hummer Scooter looks pretty sweet, but a Jeep Cherokee one would look cooler

To be honest, I kinda prefered Popular Hot Rodding's "G-Machine" builds over the "Pro-Touring" "look" that Hot Rod was pushing at one time. The G-Machines seemed to be more realisitic types of vehicles since they were the kind that could be driven to work, the grocery store, the race track, then go out and give the best the world has a run for it's money, then drive home. Where pro Touring were sometimes Pro-Streeters with huge rims, or as was previously eluded to, a wore out car with airbags and fancy paint.

Nope, hte military doesn't drive Hummers, they drive Humvees which are being made by AM General who is completely independant from GM.

I'm honestly not at all sure!

Seems some of them are just Pro Streeters with a stock type interior and huge low profiles tires and airbags to let them lay'em out on the lawn, other will have full on suspension and other related mods to let them corner and generally behave more like the racecar look they're going for. Personally if I were to build one, I'd go for the later, but I prefer cars that'll take a corner "at speed" than just look like they can.

Beautiful car, almost looked real outside!

Did the concept truck grill come with it too?

Never even noticed that on the kit, I didn't realise the real car had that rounded shape to the back window!

I normally prefer electric, no tuning hassles, better top speed and acceleration, plus they aren't as messy to wrench on. Then if you're crawling, you actually have torque when you need it, not when the powerplant gets around to it and the clutch opens up;)

Either that, or the door handles, looks like you can see daylight in the middle of the handle's shadow plus it's pretty thin in profile compared to the Revell kit's handles. So what's the answer Harry, it's technically Friday (12:49am as I type this;))

I'm into RC's big time and have a small fleet of them, especially Rock Crawling (can be tough to do here in the Chicago burbs, not too many rocks......) and just got my newest comp rig in today!

Found this the other day, somebody restified the Trans-Con Ambulance from the last real race and first movie! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wfWEy9P3K8...feature=related Christ, check this out, they've got a website up for the van and are planning on entering it in the One Lap race!

So, is the motor still a Chevy LS motor?

I'm going with real, tires and exhaust don't quite look right to me, plus there something odd about the passenger side vent window....................

wow, that stuff would come in handy if anybody decides to replicat ethat Plymouth that was buried in Tulsa!

IIRC that portion of the "body" is basicly a rollcage

Wow, great work!!!

I'm guessing real.

Since you put up your bikes, guess I'll show the old one I just drug out of the garage, with my Losi Mini-Rock Crawler and bag
