Those are some sweet custom rides. I still don't know how they did the FAV though. Sick.

compared to the suspension of the viper and 4wds on the gallop the FAV is pretty simple: polyprop rods and plates, glued and painted on the outside.
The ultima-wheels... I'll have to check if I have a side shot. I think it is the white version of the fox wheel or frog wheel with a slotted disk glued in.

Well, I admit, running and picture taking sure beats the fun of editing and uploading... but finally I got more for you guys:
Most of the M-chassis pics are in minimini's M-thread but here's some more I like:

I found a way to use my flickr account for image hosting which removed the need for uploading to rc10talk.com, and gives me automatic resizing etc, so more in a couple minutes

Interlude: me and my cars:
I have legs too, there just not in the picture

Yep, that box is vintage also: been using these boxes from my early racing days

Wild stuff:
super champ based pajero and propelled mini truggy sitting side by side
![Image](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3292/2791742516_ecaf30463a.jpg)
I did prefer the pajero in more 'standard' subaru brat wheel outfit, but the twin rear tyres looked cool on the starting grid
![Image](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3029/2791742132_bbaf4daf99.jpg)
This Axial crawler body fitted to a vintage ultima RB truck sure looked good too
![Image](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3273/2791741488_62652fb7f2.jpg)
And over the lunch we had a full blown battle of these going on
![Image](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3170/2790980455_a2c41e7075.jpg)
I'm done posting, unless someone wants to see more on specific cars/types?

Thanks for your reaction.
More of the history of the turbine car can be found in the blog
http://ameblo.jp/afro3/
Unfortunately the blog doesn't translate in babelfish, but take a look at the pictures anyway.
The body 's from a tam-tech frog and so is the front portion I believe.
Thrust is from a brushless propeller/turbine.
There were a couple more propelled cars , some faster than others, but in general they accelerated way slower than the standard buggies.
