Pioneer Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Very sharp eyes you have, shadow_rusty. The driver is Nochbak, a human/Na'vi hybrid (Avatar) from Pandora. This model is due out in June with race #20 in Wild Purple Metallic. The reference will be P049. Notchback Coupe. From memory, miveson, had something to do with the colour selection. We have also responded to great pressure from Ember and there will be a 1969 Dodge Charger 440 Magnum produced in a slightly darker colour, like this:- Jules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ember Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Hahaha... Nice one Michael. Didn't notice the blue face on my phone. I had to ask though because although that notch back looks digital recolour Jules many moons ago showed us a pre-production image in the most amazing metallic purple. It was about the same time that he discovered whatever range of colours the cherry metallic Charger came from. Ahhhh..... You know the way to my heart Jules. But then, you always did.

dangermouse Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Are the black and white and red and white Camaros actual race cars - they look lovely and I can't decide which one I prefer more.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosco01 Posted February 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I'm in for one of these cars, Jules.... now you've really confused my ability to choose.... love that purple pony - not so sure 'bout the "red-head" driver, though.... Well, if they can call a red-head "bluey" - I can call a blue face "red-head".... Thanks for acknowledging the Pioneer site... I do appreciate that websites - or just about anything domain related - is a nightmare in itself... Just keep those pix flowing in please, Jules - I'm certain you'll get lots of us from within here to take advantage of your work and procure a number of these delectable delights... frats, Rosco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Gunn Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Chuckle been running Pioneer cars on and off since they started and at the moment own 2 Camaro's, 2 Chargers, 2 Mustangs with a new Camero on order and they are great cars, enormous fun to drive and as I like tuning mine up, a great base to start with , Jules you produce a might fine set of cars need another Mustang though. I will get pictures posted of the 6 as soon as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pioneer Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Dangermouse, the red/white #44 car is a real racer. The #45 black/white is a 'fantasy' partner. You are not alone wondering which you prefer. All through pre-production, no one could decide which was the better looking. Still can't. If I absolutely had to choose, I'd go black but..........you can't beat a red Camaro. Really tricky. Interesting to note that the last three 'Fantasy' cars we have produced have outsold 'real' cars by a good margin. Mopar, if I just don't have the time to paint an early Javelin moulding I will send it to you. I reckon the Jim Richards #2 car should keep you busy. Rosco, I will post up some more stuff soon enough. Bye for now. Jules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Will certainly see a couple of Mustangs this year, Peter. I'd love to produce something like this creation by 'ChrisFromCrewe' - something he did back in 2011. Jules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Peter, your images have just showed up. Is this a 'spot where the driver is from' parade? I'll try Carrera on the white Fastback. Pioneer on the white Notchback Scalextric on the blue Charger MRRC on the red charger Scalextic Rally Car/MGB on the black Camaro I can't work out the orange Camaro. Is that a fire helmet or deep sea diver? Jules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Gunn Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Not far out Jules black Camero isn't scaley out of the odd box and the orange Camero is temporary awaiting head to fit on a body for it they have all been lowered and I could not use your excellent cabin no room, so intend to use some of Embers great heads so you could see Innes Ireland and Graham hill in Camero,s and Jim Clark in the blue charger for starters chuckle.

If your doing new Mustangs , how about a an Aussie pete geoghan version http://www.shannons....r/#.VPFO0OHaopQ Any thoughts on doing the Minilite type wheel ??? or is there a minilite wheel that suits pioneer cars.

manimmal Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 That #44 should come with a rating, very kind on the eye. I just ordered one, love at first sight, convincing my mate to get #45 as a running mate. Regarding the ongoing use of these cars the early ones are best fitted with aftermarket rear wheels and spur gear. My mustang track cars have been through a good amount of glue and still run well after a lot of abuse from kids and newbs. We run a pair of chargers every week, sometimes just those for hours and they are fast, taily, predictable and strong. The newest if the three chargers is 18 months old, and it would have over 100 hours use. She just had her third set if rear tyres fitted. Of my many pioneer cars I've had one motor die, one wheel break and quite a few spur gears and wheels come loose. My friend lost a motor in his '68 fast back last week, she still runs but not so strong anymore. Pioneer's supplying of spares means i am yet to purchase any consumables, whilst they get through braid and tyres over time you get these parts with each purchase. Hey Jules, love your work!

Pioneer Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 mopar, looks like a Minilite style wheel will be common to the Javelin and the Cuda:- The Georghegan Mustang has been sitting in my 'pending' tray for some time. Needs Minilight wheels, of course. manimal, good to hear from you. Been years, I reckon. Nice to hear your ageing Pioneer selection is still serving you well. Thanks for choosing the new red #44 Camaro. We'll be getting those finished off over the next couple of weeks. Cheers, Jules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wobble Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) I just found this on another forum - scroll down to post 6 - http://slotcarillust...ad.php?p=852909 just wondering what axle set I bought as the centre ridge is about 3.3 - 3.4mm wide. I'm thinking or hoping the 2012 onwards figure is a typo and should read 3.39mm. Can someone enlighten me please?

Pioneer Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 It was a typo, Wobble. Correct width should read 3.29mm. This size will be the ones you have. Jules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
