Indeed Gentlemen,
today we have the second beauty by Mike “32deuce” Zimmerman, the Viper Ray:





The VR also was built around a Bob “endbelldrive” Suzuki’s chassis (like the UFO12 you saw previously):



Mike adapted it for the VR shape adding great looking and effective elements:



Kaiser Edolf added an anonimous but precious silver wire rewound 26D which turned out being a beast:







Wheels are Riggen’s fore and aft:



And here on the track:

Hey Mike,

Are the bodies for sale ??

[endbelldrive]

Looks pretty fancy! It's great collaborating with Mike Zimmerman.

[welslotcar]

Chassis and bodies are beauties.

[One27ray]

It's great collaborating with Mike Zimmerman

Hey Bob, I think this means we are Thingie Brothers forever

Are the bodies for sale ??

Unfortunately Ray, I can't duplicate any bodies at this time as I work on my long awaited main project, being my track revival.
I will get back to body/mold making at some future date after my track is up and running.
I've put this track project off for too many years and I'm not getting any younger!
I would like to enjoy actually running/hosting some races here at home as we did here 20+ years ago. (not to mention having something to test on!)
Thanks!
Z

[32Deuce]

duplication you say??? hummmm....

Hey Ray, maybe "Duplicate" was the wrong word to use, I should have simply said "produce."

but, the word may have been burning silently in my craw as someone just asked me if they could send my bodies to you for "Duplication." WTF!

Hey Z

Gentlemen

We're revisiting a few Ts who were on Slotforum half a dozen years ago:





Paint and "The Blade" body by Raynoda Werks, masterly jaildoor's magic touch on Dynamic chassis by Steve "Lowrider" Kempson, who also provided the assembly while Kaiser Edolf was still reading "how to assemble slotcars for dummies".

Front and rear wheels by Kai.

Here on Our old Carrera track with custom made hay bales by Lady P.

[Maximo]

Edo,

Wonderful thingies, especially those two chrome beauties! Mike does such wonderful and creative thingie bodies! Endbell Drive always builds flawlessly hot chassis. You are indeed a lucky man Kingie.

[MantaRay]

Here is an example of a Thingie built by Maximo..........Hopefully , he will chime in with the particulars.

[Maximo]

Yes, that is one of my ex-works thingies, but in fact it was built entirely by our dearly departed "Mr. Frank" of Route 93 Raceway!
When rough times hit I sold it to you for a good price because I believe in sharing the wealth and you were most deserving.

Thanks for showing it and I know that it has a great home with you. I wonder if any of the others will show up here one day???

Thanks Ray for the trip dowm memory land...

With having this year's theme for the "Lucky 13" International Thingie Proxy race,requiring all cars to have flames!
What better way to show this car built by Frank Elavsky.
Mr. Frank's signature to all of his cars built IMHO, was to have the 1/8th rear axles,as you can clearly see in Ray's above picture also. and the use of Drag car front wheels. I had the pleasure of driving this car at RT93 Raceway and always told Frank I would really like to have this ride. After, his passing. "Momma",aka Debbie let me have this car to add in my collection.
