dNaNo Auto Scale Tire & Rim conversion
arch2b you asked for me to post pics of the two dNaNo's I converted to the Auto Scale tires and rims. I must admit here that I tried and tried to post them then finally like any guy had my grilfriend ask for directions! just kidding! anyway maybe this time I will have it right. Now I know this is a dNaNo thread however I have seen Epochs mention so I hope you good folks don't mind I'm also adding some pictures of some 1/32 slotcars I converted to R/C using the Epoch Spec-2 chassis and in one photo I took two epoch engine mounts and glued them together to get the axle to axle the right lenght that's the Camero.
Then we went up to the Laser and Laser cut the mounting plate for the 65 Fastback. Don't know if anyone gives a hoot but I like them and so I don't leave out credit where credit is do LBRC machine the dual coreless motor on the Camero using a Mini-Lit dif and Mini-Lit hubs and bearings on a Epoch chassis. The Mustang has the Epoch hubs with bearings and a stock epoch motor. I converted about 10 different 1/32 slotcars using the Epoch chassis the ones I like the best have again LBRC's dual shootgun motors with LBRC turbo boards these were all 1/32 Scalextric and SCX NASCAR's what a blast
One last thing I'd like to say here is I've seen alot of aluminum rims folks are making or prototyping and so like our friend up in Santa Cruz who posted some cool looking rims his friend with a HAAS mill made him, I happen to have a friend with a HAAS milling machine and we have been working on Aluminum Rims that well take your Auto Scale tires. And my oh my how nice they are. Thats next. Oh and we are in production they will be ready for you folks who want to race your dNaNo with the tires off of your Auto Scale cars that just sit there now in about two weeks. The best thing I think is not only do they look good but going back to the Grip issue it makes a non-issue out of the situation and you won't need Plasti-Dip or any other home brew. again this is just my humble opinon. I will let you folks be the judge! Thanks again arch2b for asking me in!
