BoLINK HOT Rodz

Post by Dangeruss »

Introduced by BoLINK in 1999 the HOT Rodz came as a coupe, sedan delivery, and a truck. Underpinned by the same twin vertical fiberglass plate chassis as the Diggers that preceded them, the HOT Rodz featured a coil over kingpin suspension up front and ball differential in the rear. Supplied with plastic wheels, foam tires, full bushings, and lexan body, less electronics. All three body styles were featured in a characteristically playful full color ad that also included their Digger sibling:

Are you the one that's ripping these pages out of magazines to sell individually on eBay? It's where you're getting them from at least. :)

Anyway, I own the production body mold for the C-Dan (red car) in this line as mentioned before on here. I also own the corresponding car they used for trade shows I was told, and had Steve and Bob Rule sign it. I was originally under the impression I was being sold the car used on the box until realizing the roof of mine isn't painted black. :? Still cool though.

That's cool you own the mold for the C-Dan. Don't think I'd read that before. You owning their trade show car sounds familiar. Might not be the Box Art Car but, it's a cool piece of history most of the guys on here would be tickled to own.

I just remembered that I started a thread on it but have to re-upload the pictures.

I remember seeing the ads for these all the time, never did buy one myself though.
Consistency is the key I keep misplacing.
