Topic: Monte's Garage - Small Cars

Time for this little piggy to go to market.

Powered by NSR, it's the fastest pig in town.

Yes, there's a wavy line/dot or two.  But I did get pretty good at putting them on one at a time when the lines would separate.

Oink, oink!

Race cars are neither beautiful nor ugly. They become beautiful when they win.

Re: Monte's Garage - Small Cars

I've got the red M6 Rico. I keep poking at it from time to time. I haven't upgraded the wheels or gears yet, but that may be the next step. About a year ago somebody, it might have been Chris Walker posted an article on tuning these and had them running pretty good. I wish they had a third livery, they could be made into a nice set of IROC cars, but I think I've only seen the two.

Re: Monte's Garage - Small Cars

Rico, those scaleauto vettes are awesome! Nice looking Mclaren too!

Re: Monte's Garage - Small Cars

I don't know about the Vette but just this evening I found a Scale Auto Mercedes GT3 car in a box of misc. cars so I grabbed it and a Ninco racing version of the same car. When I had them on the workbench I noticed how similar they were, then realized they we identical right down to every decal on the livery. While the chassis are of different designs the bodies are interchangeable. I never knew that Scale Auto and Ninco were in bed together, or at least are sourcing their bodies from the same vender.

Re: Monte's Garage - Small Cars

Interesting. The older cars have a slot.it style pod. The new ones under the c7 have a triangular style pod and a flex chassis. My vette is one of the best out of the box cars I have purchased.

Re: Monte's Garage - Small Cars

The Merc must be an older one as it has a Slot It type pod. I don't remember when or where I got it. It's not a bad runner though, despite the plastic wheels and the missing wing.

Re: Monte's Garage - Small Cars

I have one on the older BMW Z4 cars too. It’s never been very quick but it’s also got a cracked chassis that’s been repaired.

Which pusherman are you referring to? The original one up north or our new one down here?
