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.

starcorps, check your units,
it should be in grams


some scales have real goofy units
100 ml of water = 100 g
if that is weighting "dry ml"
"dry" 100 ml = about 60g
would explain them all being very heavy

  • I'll double check tonight. Thank you! — StarCorps

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

dr


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!

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
