Here is another Choti body I ran across, ( from a pic's on the inter net??) with no number and/or name. From the pic I producted this really Choti looking body ?




Looks to be from the #5 Ultra series? may be # 5.02



PS Just another variation on a theme

[Jairus]

[32Deuce]

Interesting Doug, thanks for the input.

I think you're right Ray(noda) but, could also be #5.03 from the Raychoti Series?
Nice work!

First artwork for the poster. Not exactly sure what else should go on it other than a bit from the rules list I suppose.
T-shirt artwork is next.

I like that poster Super Job Jairus It has the feel of the original Choti add's
As Max said," are you going to make a larger poster of it ? " I'm sure it will be a crowd pleaser !!!!

[Jencar17]

Klasse!!

Only two more month and I'm having the "Mura - B" only!!

[Jairus]

Yes, larger posters will be made and shipped to the two track directors so they can post them around.
I might be able to make a few available to those that want if for a nominal fee that covers postage and packaging.
Later we will also have t-shirts and box stickers as well.

yep,,i'd throw in a few extra $$$ bucks for a poster "if needed"
cool poster Mr J

[boxerdog]

That is outstanding, Jairus. Gotta have one for the slot cave. And a t-shirt would go without saying. It captures the "run what you brung" spirit of this whole thing. Now if the car will perform...???

[chief32s]

Great poster design J, I think a run of large format posters will soon get snapped up.

My first attempt at chassis assembly ended in failure. Everything is unsoldered and being cleaned up for another try. Just want to be sure its all square and good to go.

It didn't fail, you just backpedaled a little

[chief32s]

Thanks for the encouragement Paul. Got myself into forward gear once again and had some success today. Problem is I don't rate my jig. I really could do with investing in a decent jig. Well, no doubt in time.

Looking forward to further progress tomorrow.

Fellow 'Balls Out" Racers,

Please opine, approve or challenge this proposed entry design.
Some minor bracing is to be added at the motor box and tongue, basic stuff, piano wire braces and body pin mounts at the front.
Understanding that would require a re-submit .... If the basic design is voted a 'no go' I don't want to spend any more time on it.

[Pablo]

Is it 3.0" wide ?

I don't see anything "illegal" about it.

[havlicek]

I thought there wasn't to be anything in front of the guide (whether straight or "V" shaped) as in more modern chassis?

-john

[Pablo]

I don't see that in the rules, John.

[Jairus]

Well, I asked everyone to keep the "modern" in the bag and try to stay vintage. Bob showed this a few months ago saying that he built it a long time ago. So my question is.... when was it first built Bob?

As an aside and not to legalize or justify Bob's chassis, but another Bob, (Rule I believe) in 1969 showed up with a chassis that had a large front end like that forward of the guide. I have the magazine around here somewhere.
But, that said, I did leave the rules pretty open on chassis design.
But.... we have yet to see chassis designs from any of the innovators out there like Tony P. That has me a little curious as to why?

[HarV Wallbanger III]

Blackbox designs...... Stinkwerks...... TOP SECRET

[Jairus]

Well, if everyone doesn't get to see them before the races... then they no race!

[The Bugman]

mine is completely done,waiting for new body from Ray F,,,,will post photos very soon,,,,

[Gator Bob]

It was built by me in the winter of 1989-1990.

I got back 'in' with Flexi 1s in 1989, met my goal of track champ but being a 60s child I wanted a 'no such thing anymore' in-line 1/24 scale car to play with.
So I built this one. No jig -1 wire, six bends. When I got a RetroPro jig from Mike Swiss last year I was surprised how straight this thing was/is.

As PaBro asked is it 3" ---- Darn... it is 3.25 wide at the front, so It is either cut it up or build something "new and improved".

I have not heard from tony for a while about this proxy race. Think he has a lot going on with work. If he is building it will be a great one for sure.

Gotta get rolling ... don't want to miss the completed car submission deadline of 8/27/12 ... correct?
