Let the build begin
- That’s a way back throw back of a casting!!! I’d love to see you make that competitive!!! Let’s do it!!! — Crazy_Canuck
- very cool — dr_dodge
Raging Ricky driving XS-IVE. HEAD HUNTER is ready to bash some skulls dual 50 cals ready to blast any competitor coming up from behind.
Shipping out soon from Oregon
so, you said length is no problem, but to define:
will 7 - 3/4" long fit?
(yes, it is that long. 5 axles, and 6 castings have given their parts for this...lol)
I can shorten now maybe about 1", but would rather not, as it looks pretty dramatic now
and right on 75 grams currently, so weight is not an issue
thanks,
dr
@dutch, ok here ya go
crappy pic, but so far
poppa wheelie as a turret
it's pretty nuts, my most complex build yet, and not done
gotta make sure it fits

- crazy! — Stoopid_Fish_Racing
- WOW!!! — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
- I’ve got 8 inches of clearance for that thing…so it’ll fit…just! — Crazy_Canuck
- should be crazy! — dr_dodge
Hey is there still room? I'm a newer voice around here but I have this guy ready to compete if you'll have him. The paint job isn't quite done (needs the blood of its victims lol) and I've yet to name him, but I think he's worth a fair shot. And yeah these pics kinda suck.
If yes, I will need the address. Thank you!
- Ok... The SPORK is pretty creative! — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
- Very nice bel air yah got, like the screws to — Kingjester
- I’m a Big Fan of that casting…I will PM you the shipping address… — Crazy_Canuck
- all new meaning to the term "screw it"! — Stoopid_Fish_Racing
The "Tank gunner" is ready for action down in the gaslands and kingjester is more than happy to try and tame this beast
- Looks tough! — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
- Nice! I picked up a couple of these castings... I like the base at it seems compatible with lots of cars with metal bodies and plastic chassis. — Stoopid_Fish_Racing
- We will call this one: General Warthog — Crazy_Canuck
- General warthog very well then sounds like a good name to me — Kingjester
- great name! — dr_dodge
*would like a spot if there is any left

- The custom made base makes this build even better! Awesome job dude — Crazy_Canuck
- wow, nice, did you 3d print the base? — dr_dodge
- Nope. I cut it off a ralley fantasy truck thing. It fit the demensions of the Charger. — StarCorps
- looks great! I like the fact you got a different chassis to fit! — Stoopid_Fish_Racing
So I built this instead.
"I'm Mike Havershaw and dem gottdambed cousin-fricken, no gud, sneakattacken nodicked marshuns took everything from me. Dey took mah house, mah job an mah dawg.
Nukes got quite a range.
If I hadden been up in the hills hunten, woulda got me too. Now, it's just me an mah car, Boomer. It's named after mah beloved doggo.
So, I race fer Rutherford, StarCorps and RAD!, the only energy drink that gets me cranked up anymore. We are headed off Lakeridge heights to show those yellerbelly no goods what a piston junction man is made of."
Boomer, 75 grams even.
Mike Havershaw, probably about 260, 270.
Armament: fender mounted (interior) machine guns.
Defense: Driver drinks RAD!. Also, armor and reinforced chassis.
