Well if ya keep up with some of my silly ideas,you will remember that I tried to make a crossover out of Carrera track for a demolition Derby.Well it kinda worked when it wanted too..A little ruff and tended to stop some cars dead still..
So I found some Scaley sport track with the crossover all ready made.It tends to work much better :roll:
Now to the new Smash Up Derby.I know that Eldon made some derby cars back in the 60's.Most of these are broken and brittle due to age.Nothing you would want to race.
Does any one remember in the early 70's Kenners Smash Up Derby sets?
I know,they weren't slots,but they were fun and kinda gave me a redneck idea ;)
Why not try this with some slots?
Started out with some of the tuff ,cheapy Strombecker cars that you used to find at wally world for a couple of bucks.Added some ol' chassis I had,did a lot of cutting.Added mags to hold on the hood and doors till ya had that Crash.I know that this would not be every ones cup of tea.Not true to scale,ruff looking models,etc.
But hey they are fun and work just about perfect.
Put the track on an 36inch door,built up the infield and boarders to track height,and glued her all down so that we can store it.I do plan on doing a little more scenery,but now we're wrecking cars.
Cash,bang,crack um' up ,put um' back again.. :auto-crash:
yep I tend to play with my stuff a little different then some.
