    Well, the Blue Max did it's first model show a couple weeks ago and I am very pleased. I added the rest of the kit parts. I still need to add the plug wires. Most people diddn't realize it was a slot car until they read the description.

    A general rule with wheelie bars is five inches long max and position the wheelie wheels either inside or outside the track of your slicks. I run mine inside on my Blue Max funny car.

    Good job on your Blue Max Hondo. I feel your pain with the decals. It took 2 sets on my Blue Max '84 Mustang slot car. I'm also building the '83 EXP Blue Max.

    Hi guys, I'm also in the Downriver Model Car Club. The club has been around for 18 years, I've been a member for 15 years. It really doesn't seem that long, I always look forward to our monthly meetings. I've made a lot of friends over the years.

    I put in a Pro-Slot Super 16D motor with an 11 tooth pinion, and a 56 tooth ring gear.

    My friend Joe (owner of Downriver Speedway) liked my concept Trans Am (the Kevin Morgan car with 1977 styling) so much he's having me build a different version of the concept for a slot drag body.

    Hey, thanks guys I tried it and enamel paint just falls off. Works much faster than scalecoat.

    Wow, real nice work, great finish on all of them!

    I love this car. All the proportions look right and it has teriffic lines. The back end especially with the split window and spired rear fenders. The wheel spats complete the look. I'm planning to build a car with a similar flavor but I'm starting with a Batmobile.

    WOW! Awesome design. It can be difficult enough doing a body section, chop, or a roof graft but scratchbuilding a complete body is incredible. It should make a sweet Vette, but it also reminds me of a McLaren.

    She came out real good! Nice job on the 2-tone too. I like it with the Viper suspension and drivetrain rather than stock just with the convertible top.

    What's the best stuff to use to remove that new laquer paint without hurting the plastic?
  23. Trans Am Erik
