just figuring out the final design of a new pure stocker, totally unconventional. think box kite like. one thing for sure, if it comes off the track it will self destruct. will update as the build progresses.

i am using small scraps of wood left over from other builds This is starting to sound like a design I am toying with. A front piece to hold the front axles and a rear piece housing the weight and rear axles. Bamboo skewers to connect them together. I'll try to post a mockup pic soon. I hate it when people beat me to the punch on a design that I haven't gotten around to yet. Procrastination will be my demise... Or maybe that's not what Brian is working on...

Now I'll tell you what, I have sure built my share of scrap, that's for sure. Really every car I've built up to this point is scrap due to the fact they are not built in a manner to run as fast as they need to. But, I still hang on to most of them for some reason. Iguess I hate to through away all the hard work I put into to building them. i feel the same way, i just resently started to recycle cars for weight and parts.
