1st Post!

Right now I have an 2011 Ice Cream Truck that will complete the Hot Wheels Super 6 Lane track that I use to test and tune and about 36 inches past the gate.

3 of the 4 wheels rub on the fender - so I think it will be a good model to practice modifications and customization upon!

Otherwise they go into the give away box for when I set up the track at car shows - for the kids to play with and choose a take home car!

Have learned a lot from reading through the other posts and threads over the past few weeks, thanks!

Well, if the Fantasy League is worth the data then the Alfa BAT is our slowest. You'd think having all 4 wheels skinny would help since it would create less friction but I think it's the opposite (not science, just gut). Only raced 10 times thought (which is telling also) so I'm sure there are crappier ones in the League collection.

41 Wild Willys. Shes a great looking shelf queen though.

The one I have - the wheels actually go further up into the fender well than the one pictured above. I traded a fellow club member a Corvette for it at my first public Hot Wheels Gravity Race event. At the rear, the right side cast in wheel hub on the chassis drags on the track!

Looks like another project for - fixing the axles and I think changing out the wheels, as real riders haven't received to much favor here.
