I Just Love Sprint Cars

Post by tizeye »

The first pic's are of what I first started with..the only parts left from this are the chassis and the tail section..I changed it from a Desperado to a Vindicator along the way...the blue and purple paint jobs are two different bodies on the same car. The purple one I've just finished and is the original body set for this car..very hard to find..the blue car is a later model body set from MacAllister...

I have pictures of every part of every build that this car has had...I might post it one day if anybody is interested..might even give a cost rundown you might be surprised..this car owes me way too much..but I love it :roll:

As a (part time) 1/10 sprint racer, I have to say this car is by far my favorite-- But where is the wing??

I don't know how I missed it but the new painted BBT body looks great. I like the color scheme and design. That sprint is simply awesome. That original body definitely looks like it fits better than anything that is available today.

Those look fantastic, especially with the wheels and tires. Very scale.

I can't find and videos of sprint cars on YouTube, can they slide like the big ones? The dirt modifieds and trucks I used to race never got sideways like that.

Hey, Tiz' - Since you offered. I would be interested in the build pics for this car. I really don't want to know how much it cost though. I find I have more enthusiasm for projects when i don't pay attention to how much it is setting me back. Buy high, sell low, that's apparently my motto!
