I’ve always loved 1/32 cars, the most was the Womp Womp series of them!

They were the fun stuff of the hobby!

But that being said, the chassis were built for 16d’s 1/8” axles, and 7/8” tires!

Now comes along scratch built in my life! I last couple of years I ran my Mile High Raceway in oregon, now in Portland area, as I sold the tracks, one 85ft 1/24th 1/32nd scale track and one 4x16ft 4 lane HO track! Anyway back to what I was saying about building your own Womp from scratch!

Using JK’s nice and very reasonable price motor mount, also JK’s

retro motor, a third sheet of .032 brass and a little round, and of course one of my guild flag mount.

oh yes jk tires and arp pinions and vintage Parma crown gears!

Anyway a great running little car and without any lead!

the one that is shown with a 3.250 wide body for the outlaw class, but chassis will be at 2.5” stock class width!

price of car built about 40.00 usa

fun per pound is up there, it really runs well!

Anyway the picture here is the last one I built , I’ll finish it up soon and post a finished womp!

Hello there! Well not ready to go into building right away! Just started up again! The first thing for me to start with will be my new track, sold mine after Covid hit so strong. But if your interested, I can tell you at this time, these chassis are not legal because they are custom, and most raceways will not let you race them because there not a “womp”!
I march to my own beat most of the time, so I try to stay in the sprit of the class, but I march to the custom, and what works, I don’t use a lot of lead and never had, run on 10 volts on a short road course , that sort of thing, and this car will fly around a tight road course! Regards Paul

Does not matter to me if they are race legal.

I would be interested in seeing that car finished. The body is an older version of what became my GTP-D2 bodies. Post some pics when it's completed please. Thank you.
