Redline Revival official entry thread
Have my cars shown up? went out on 12/9.
- Yes sir! safe and sound, packed in Harmonica boxes! Great Idea! — Traction-Event
- Boxes are from milling tool bits. Perfect complete with foam. lol — Nightstalker
I'll send my cars in this Saturday.
Also, wheels from the 80s and 90s that aren't corroded are as fast as FTEs.
- Ultra Hots? — Traction-Event
- Ultra Hots from Color Racers (known as Color Changers) are the closest to FTEs in speed. — Brakefluid_Tracksurgeon
- Probably had nickel plated axles so they wouldn't rust out from water. — KandORacing
How do you get Crazy Glue out from the inside of an FTE wheel without acetone? Will placing the axle in boiling water help?
Also, my Torino Stocker will be painted again.
- between the wheel and axle? no good way, but you could try to Spin it free with a polishing bit and a dremel tool? — Traction-Event
- why do you think they call it CRAZY GLUE ? — fordman
- I try to keep CA glue as far away from these cars as possible — 72_Chevy_C10
I've got a second Torino Stocker for the race instead of the first one since its wheels got messed up. The first one will probably be used in another race.
Hoping to start seeing some cars show up trackside, Stalker is here...making final tire pressure adjustments. The tech inspection shed is open and awaiting racers...
video production has started, waiting on team shots, and specs.
- Mine went out Tuesday, so they should be there in the the next couple days! — 72_Chevy_C10
- Still working on my contestants but they will be shipped on saturday or monday. — Brakefluid_Tracksurgeon
And there off!
Tracking: 9505500024095351001019
Maybe Monday.
Sorry TE but time caught up to me on this series. I had a car to run but never found the time to work on it.
- No sweat, it's a busy time of year... we'll miss having you, but there is always the next race. — Traction-Event
- The next race could be non-redlines turned into redlines. — Brakefluid_Tracksurgeon
These guys are on their way - tracking # 9505 5110 4301 5352 5282 55 - Hope they get there in time. Aside from new sneakers and new upholstery I left them in all their "played with" glory. Not going to talk much trash as I think I might need a Christmas miracle to win. ;)
- Love the 'played with' look! — 72_Chevy_C10
- Digging the Firebird! — Traction-Event
- LOVE the honest look. lol. — CrzyTrkrDude
- Perfect! — JDC442
- Played with makes them bold. — Brakefluid_Tracksurgeon
Ok, I have you two set and ready. C-10 mod Heavy Chevy car vs Stalkers original TnT Bird, Standard track, best 2 out of 3 races. Stalker gets one car length at the end of the track.
JDC, and I are finalizing our race. My original Lola vs his original Power Pad.
FOTF? anyone else...
I got this original, kinda speedy... any takers?
