I bought three more of these for repaints from our local super market for .99 cents each.

I will have a whole field of these to race shortly once I paint and decal them.

Here is one mounted on a 4-gear chassis. It's a little too tight to use the cage with this chassis.

That looks good on a 4 gear chassis!

How did you attach the body to the chassis?

That looks great on the 4 gear chassis!

I was able to use the cage while using the afx g plus chassis.

I used 2 sided tape to attach the body with and shoe goo or goop also.

That way you can run an xacto knife down between the body and chassis and cut it loose if needed.

Hey Legend85,

Your in Mayfield Heights?

I'm in Berea.

You ever race at Bob's shop in Middleburg heights BADLHOBBY?

He has 3 ho tracks to run on there currently at his shop in Southland.

I mounted the body with double stick foam tape. I used two layers per side.

Wayne: Yes, I am in Mayfield Heights. I have been to BAD L's a couple of times since he moved to the new location. I've spent a fortune there already! :D I haven't raced on any of the tracks yet. I learned about them at a slot car show last year.

Picked up three at K Mart....I think I got taken over the coals, I paid $1.09 for each!

I also got the Bone shaker truck.

Waiting for a chassis to do the dirt car. After working on my track, I decided to get my feet wet and do a little on this HW Maverick (metal). It's not done, still have to open up the front wheels a little, but so far I'm happy with it.

Great looking Maverick!
I'm enjoying these type cars on the 440 chassis with the mags removed..
Lots of fun...

440 tyco wide pan chassis with traction magnets removed are a blast to drive! I run them this way all the time.

Larry that maverick looks great! I bet it is a blast to slide through the corners!!!!

:D :D :D :D :D
