Hi Folks,
I just completed another small batch of reproduction Tyco US1 Stomper tires so they are available again. I only made a batch of about twenty five sets this time around... the long demold time makes them time consuming to cast. Also, Stompers themselves are so rare that not many people even have them therefore the need for the tires is rare as well. So if you need some Stomper Tires, check out my "Offer 2" page while I have them in stock.
I'm still playing with some ideas for other tires to cast while continuing work on that small layout I've been building. The track is messy right now but slowly taking shape as the foam board is being applied.
Again, there is an upcoming show in Quakertown, PA. I will not be attending but here is a link where you can get the info... http://slotblog.net/topic/97496-slot-car-spectacular-show-mar-13-quakertown-pa/
Stay safe everyone... until the next update, Happy Motoring.

Though I mainly focus on the Aurora T-Jet & AFX, I also enjoy collecting other vintage HO scale slot cars by Atlas, Lionel, Marx, & Eldon. Recently, I've been collecting and building 1:32 scale cars as well... its just too fun not to.
Though straight up racing is fun, I find modelling cars, making scenery, and building fully landscaped layouts most enjoyable about the hobby. Molding and casting custom car bodies and parts is another aspect of the hobby I like but it can get challenging, labor intensive, and costly. It has taken me a good amount of trial & error to finally have reached the point where I am satisfied with the quality of my castings.
I have made some performance parts for the serious racers out there, namely my replacement shoe and brush springs for the T-Jet and AFX chassis. They are FRAY approved and even won the HO Product of the Year award in 2009. I'm very thankful to all the racers who use my springs and help me keep them available for the hobby.
Happy Motoring!
