The lightweight discussion thread
I ask Brian to lock the "Featherweight Challenge" thread. I wasn't trying to stop the discussion of lightweight cars, just thought the thread title "Featherweight Challenge" was confusing now that we have a race thread started here: http://www.redlinederby.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=645
I wasn't trying to step on any toes and I know there needs to be a thread still so here it is!
Discussion
HEY CARL,
HOW MANY CARS DID YOU HAVE "OPENED" WHEN YOU JOINED THIS SITE ?
I had a small diecast collection of cars I liked. I was born in '57, so I always picked up anything 1957, alot of British cars (we had a repair shop in the 60-70s) as well as other cars that hit the old memory button.
I didn't have what you'd call a collection, but since meeting up with you guys I've acquired quite a few cars. I now have more unopened than I do open ones, for future projects ya' know!
DIG IT, A '56 MODEL MYSELF... DIDN'T OWN A HOT WHEELS FROM 1971 TILL 2006 ... I AM NOT A COLLECTOR AT ALL... I AM A HOARDER OF CASTINGS I LIKE OR USE PARTS FROM... GOT A PANT LOAD OF WAY 2 FAST...TWO PANT LOADS OF A-OK'S...ETC....ETC.... ETC., ... DON'T OWN A CAR NEWER THAN '73...I LIKE THE MODDED/ALTERED RACING HERE...
police inpound free, but i think the guys said about $8 on a thread here... post office is $36- nope...
I have to get involved in this feather weight action! So where is the best place to buy a scale? And what brands do you recommend?
I got mine from here:

On the topic of "scales"...I just ordered one of these:

The scale platform seems to be large enough for weighing our 1/64th scale cars. After reviewing the specs of other pocket/jewelery scales, it seems that many of their platforms might be rollin' boat anchors off of my little scale! )

GspeedR, thanks for posting the IROC-Z video. I've been looking for that casing to replicate a buddy of mine's racecar. Now I'm anxious to see how it races. If there's enough interest I'd like to see an under 30g challenge in the future (using Brian's new web-stuff!).
