My newest build. It's 6 rails of .047 Hanada chassis. Just have to solder the front axle in and put pin tubes on and it will be all set for the Fall Brawl.

the Hanada kits are the best made,every thing is perfectly flat and straight
that multi rail should be monster,,,i have 2 King Track Hanada's that run
excellent,just a bit heavy(106gr),they'd work perfect for IRRA specs

OK Kid don't let it go to your Head! LOL :D

 

Actually you are getting quite a rep as a builder, I knew I could spot talent!

Thanks guys really appreciate it. Just have to get the flow of solder better and then they should look even better.

 

Haruki, no I won't be attending Retro Palooza. I've had some medical issues and I'm not sure if I'll be completely recovered. Are you attending the Fall Brawl? I will be going there. Thanks.
