I see a lot of 1/5 scale cars set up for drag racing....why don't you guys have Bob S. build you something like that prostock truck pan style( but belt drive)... I assume it would be a little less money for a rolling chassis.. and you keep the 1/4 scale theme going....with lots of bodies to choose from....

I'm not trying to upset anyone, just simply asking...

Miguel

Im working on just that a 1/5 scale tube chassie car no pan here with the gear drive rear like the 1/4 scale or a 5th scale set up like hpi or fg or belt these are built to what ever the customer wanted so 2speeds will work and nitrous I have a 1970 challenger bodies but you could use what ever body you wanted as long as it was the long body im working on the proyotype mybe early this spring im building a couple of slingshots and some indy cars so im pretty busey. so if interested let me know I can build just a roller or turn key

show us the bodies that are out

im interested show so pics.

Wow,very nice....I still feel that someone should offer a 1/4 pan type drag car chassis to bring in new racers...
But...sounds like your offering some nice stuff....

they make pan style car but they are very expensive that guy on legends makes them

Look, I see nothing wrong with this car for beginners except the price.

I see nothing worth 2 grand my fg has more parts than that thing.....

Yes, I do agree with you...but...if every part needs to be machined...more hours to build = more cost...

What would it cost if Bob built one, without a jackshaft....and would there be a better price if your club bought 10 of them....

What about that guy Art, is he still building cars...His rail had a chain and no jackshaft, that thing was dam fast...I saw it run at FBF around 6 years ago...I think he may even be in guiness for the worlds "quickest crutches"..hee,hee

for that no sorry

I think he is robbing people but then again i dont see any guys with them

Hell, If that car sells for 2000.00 dallors Ill switch hobbies to basket weaving...Its a piece of freakin aluminum bent twice . That had to cost aleast 20 dallors... Im kind of partial to my funny car anyways..

But

In my opinion .. The heart of 1/4 SCALE IS WELDED TUBE CHASSIS. And guys like me that have the means and know how to weld these frames up will always be partial to tube frames... There just more realistic. On the other hand a piece of aluminum bent up to make a pan chassis may be right for mass producing in the market but I think will fall short in the 1/4 scale world... They do seem to do ok in the fifth scale world thou

Adding some CNC WORK to a tube frame makes it awesome. But , a pan frame and CNC parts to me is almost like any 5th scale car out there. Befor you know it youll have a complete CNC car and the cost will be out of this world...

Now, Quarterscale ProStreet Berreta.....He builds a serious freakinnnnnn 1/4 scale car.... Thats where it needs to be at.....There is not one project out there, including mine that touches he car....Pure awesome

Keep the pans in the kitchen...

Check and Mate

I think there would be a huge market in turning al those 5th scale pan cars in to tube chassis.

Great job

i guess i will have to step up my game,when i grow up i wanna be just like you dom
