This right here was my baby..just a "street car" ..normal rear lock up hight, but always on the bumper (when i find them in the crate lol) it works perfect! never break lines. Interior, motor, susp w exhaust axle n driveshaft. I love how it works, but i wanna re-paint, cut a moonroof in, and get some interior done by ol' dude on here. Vid soon as i get a battery

Remember these Remo shits? I ordered one SOON as i seen it in my street customs mag. 4 motor set up, I tried it out once. Then took it apart to see how i could improve and add more power (Glued some D's to it, but they where later salvaged)




But dont let that Store bought dancer shit fool ya....I fights w deezzz!


 
#11 ·
New in the box..Bought the R/C spokes for it..they too big tho. ill trade somebody for the 58 radio shack boy.

 
#16 ·
67 imp, stupid old...and dumb ulgy (i know), it preforms bout as bad as it looks. Using the wheels for a static model, and the 7 is going to the scrap yard



 
#17 ·
Nother photo of the red 4 i over looked




This is a 1:18 diecast 4..Tried to make it work, but end up on the back burner. But when this comes back out , ITS OVER. i got a whole new bag of tricks for it. Just consider these as "before pics"



 
#23 ·
I started on a new project...Now i finds a unopen revell 64 kit in the crate, im impress w the quality (compared to the many AMT 4's ive built thru the yrs) now i wanna start on this. See this has always been my prob, i cant stay focused long enough to finish the task at hand.


Anyway...
I always got crazy ideas that i try w these models...most times it doesnt pan out as planed...Heres one. i figured i could put a driving car controls on the lindenburg frame for best of both worlds...never made it off the work bench

 
#24 ·
One of the few static cars in my collection





 
#26 ·
Lac is clean love the color. Wheres the one you had on switches
u remember that thing homie? I start dancing when i found that joker in the box unharmed!
 
#27 ·
1:18 diecast imp hopper i started on..Rear used a servo w a angle rotating top, work great for lift and lower. Front never banged like i wanted tho



 
#29 ·
check me out Lux..even tried running two motors to the front. back to the drawing board i guess



 
#31 ·
This another joint with me just trying stuff out...
When i first got one of these lindenburg "hoppers" i danced it for a few mins. Next thing i did was wire a 9.6 batt up to it an danced till it broke. Like everything i had to take it apart and see how it works, it has one motor w gear system to spin one way to work back up, other way for front. So no pancake, and back would drop when hopping front. So i ran two motors, for truely independent front n rear. It worked surprisingly well!

These were coo cars...just wish the rear lifted
