For all you General Lee fans
moparmagiclives replied to Nick Notarangelo's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Thats a tuff call, I guess I would say top 3 or so, with the batmobile and the munsters 1/2 cars. As far as TV series go. -

Really? I kind of dispize that whole thing. It events like that, that drove the price of anything close to being classic through the roof and out of the hands of most hard working "car guys". Kind of like main stream racing events. Great car though, I got to see one when I was younger. pretty neat to see one in person. -
With the talk of scale wieght...
moparmagiclives replied to JustBill's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
The dots both turn one revolution per second, but that does not make them turn the same mile per hour, foot per hour or inch per hour. Because they are traveling a diff distance.They are TRAVELING at diff speeds related to the diameter, but areTURNING at the same rpm -

I wasnt talking about the runners them selves Harry but... So lets say they were connected all in line, all holding a pole pinned at the center of the track, wouldnt the farthest runner have to run faster then the closest runner to stay in line? -

Why are the start and finish lines at the track up at the high school staggered ??? Because the outside lanes are longer laps then the inside ones next to them right? I think your hung up on the disk as being one unit of time and speed. -

Is this a test?? The outside bug went 1 mile in one second, the inside bug went 1/2 mile in one second AT half the speed as the out side bug. They are not both going the same speed, If your measuring the 1 mile at the outside of the disk, then the inside would be half that in distance. -

You answered your own question... the bug close to the center point has a shorter distance to travel, Think of it as a gear reduction... Your cam shaft and crank shaft are chained together but turn at diff speeds... -

Same time frame, one was going at a faster rate of speed in that time frame then the other -

Now your talking perspectives, A dogs 7 years, is just a perspective to our one. They seem to age 7 times faster then us if you think they "should" live as long as the average human. A "little" person dosent age twice as fast as someone over 6" tall do they? But if your models seem to be aging a little to fast bill, try a little mothers wax...works wonders -
Building a 1/25th scale dual-engined drag boat
moparmagiclives replied to tim boyd's topic in Model Cars
I loved that article, I had never seen a drag boat in plactic before. I've got a few r/c boats, and flipped when I seen yours in the magazine. I've been searching, cant wait to get my hands on one. I'm diggin your paint fades also, great work, those have been fun to read. -
Why do you build model cars?
moparmagiclives replied to nboldman's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Because I will never have a 427 cobra or hemi charger in my garage..... so I keep them upstairs. -
Boring builds...
moparmagiclives replied to '08SEAL's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
If the concept itself has no intrest to you change it. Is it because you dont like planes or just that one? Build it as a crashed diorama, I've offten thought it would be neat to build one like its been under water for ages. ( after everyone got out safe that is). Other then that, if you dont like it, why are you doing it? -
