i just got it today as an earl xmas gift , been playin with ir for a while now, its a shame u cant 3 wheel. im plannin on painting it this month red with maybe sum patterns or pinstriping. gonna be hard as fuk to tape up all the chrome.

 

[Notthatlowyet]

You can't 3 wheel? That's about the only thing my 64 from last years can do. Will def. have to check that out.

 

[dissko]

It just drives, and "hops" then front or back, but just moves the body.

im workin on it man, i got the back slammed low enough to scrape. I just have to install the flints, wait for summer, and im set :biggrin: :angry:

i can only find the 64 and 58 for sale, do you know where i would find the 67 or 69 model? or pictures of them.

And i'm thinking of getting a 64 since it is cheaper, but can it actually hop or does it just lift and drop.

And can the 58 drive aswell as do tricks, like the 64 can?

 

[jevries]

Buy the '64 for sure....it has a better setup but it can't lift the front or hop. But it has the 3wheel feature and this car can be mod out to do some major hopping...like mine.

could you or someone post up a photo of the inside of the 58? Some people including my self are interested in seeing how the front lifting mechanism looks like. We all know what makes the back work but how does the front? :dunno:

 

[rag-4]

I had saw the 58 Impala, but I'll wait till after X-mas to get it....

the 58 just drives..and and has front and back lift...i'm happy with that..since its a 58 impala...and they dont look right hopping and hitting 3

 

[jevries]

To follow Scratch in his quest for the insides...pleas can someone make a pic of how the organs look like?

Yeah, i was hopping to modify it so it can hop. I allready made my lindberg hopper hit the bumper and also do a 3-wheel, had a good time doing it aswell, i also made a custom switchbox just for the added touch. But they are cheap and simple.

What kind of axel and hopping mechanism does the 64 have? is it like lindbergs, or does it use a string like the hoppinhydros ones.

btw i saw some of your movies, that 70 impala is awsome, does a nice 3-wheel.

 

[jevries]

Check my indexpage with all my pictures there a pics of my RS '67 that is a mix of the lindberg hopperarms and the good old way of using a fishing line.

[juicedskateboardman]

man i will as soon as i get my new digital camera. and that sould be in about a week. all show you guys how to slam your own 58. i think in the future im gona intsall some motor in the battery compartment since the fronts allread hinged, thats the good part. dont need to hinge the front. what i can tell you is the front works like the back lift on the 58, 64 and 67. a wheel thin on one end thick on the other. its kindof hard to explains so ill get pix as soon as possible.
