Scalextric Dodge Charger #22 Stocker - Anyone bought it?

[MoparGreg]

So has anyone bought the Scalextric Dodge charger #22 stocker yet? If so photos please. Im keen to see how good/ bad the finished car is.

Im hoping just a change the wheels to some stockcar wheels like those from SCC will go a long way to sorting it out.

Let me get well from this nasty cold/flu, and I'm planning a side by side photo comparison for everybody.

.....Ewwwww,

This is going to be a bit voyeuristic, watching the cyber dissection of this "model".....

....You are a far, far more dedicated man than me Rob!

I will still buy one of them even though the car is all wrong!

[MoparGreg]

Ill be getting one but I am trying looking on the bright side. Yeah I know the rear window is wrong but some ran with the tunnel rear window like that. Also I know the grille is off, no comment on that. I suppose im just trying to take it for what it is, another runner for the Darkside field of oval racers.

Out of the box I know it will be a nice runner. I was amased how well the Dukes car ran striaght out of the box.

Quite a few racers ran the tunnel rear window. The 500 was used on the high speed ovals. Unfortunately Scaly's first livery was a 500 and the Scaly version aint a 500.

....Yeah look, who am I to judge :)

I was ratting through some boxes of cars I had stored out in the shed looking for things to tune this holidays and found a Truxmore Torino..

...I'm going to tune it and more than likely enjoy the experience!

Yeah I'll probably get one of these Chargers too :(

It is a strange affliction we suffer....

[waaytoomuchintothis]

That Truxmore Torino sure turned into a favorite after people got over the dread of tossing the body! I even did a repaint of the only other racing version of the car. For quite a while that was the best RTR long wheelbase chassis around!

I didn't buy one of these. It's all wrong. I did buy one of the new Carrera Charger 500s though.

[Cosmic Bilby]

The Carreras are the benchmark!

What is significant with the latest Charger 500 release is that it's only the second Charger 500 race livery out of that mold. Admittedly there have been a few street liveries but waiting nearly ten years for another race livery was kinda cool (and frustrating) :)

[Derby City Speedway]

I find this very intriguing, as many oval fans that we have here, not to mention the MOPAR faithful. And no-one has any personal photos of this particular release. I for one from the get go new that it wasn`t going to fit my personal critique. Back 6-7 years ago these probably would be decent race fodder. But ... once again, Hail Carrera!!!

[waaytoomuchintothis]

I'll to get those pictures tomorrow, Mark. I'm still sick.

Yeah, yeah. Truxmore actually did it. Its quite a story.

We had a long running thread of people using the Truxmore chassis to convert all kinds of static kits to slot cars. We stretched them, shortened them, did all kinds of stuff with them. I think one guy did 4 cars with that chassis. I did 3, and I have 3 more cars ready to hack up. I found an outfit that had loads of them for very little cost and I bought a stack of them. I really am hoping this Charger turns out that way. Its harder to find good 1/32 kits than converting them by far.
