DAVENIC Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Anyone out there got a pair of these: I'm tempted to buy a couple. They look like fun. Also good for scenary.

bump Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Do those things work Davenic, and if so, where did you get them from please? Not for racing but maybe to carry one of those little cameras around all inside nice and safe, a little weight down low to keep it somewhat stable. Quote There are 10 types of people in the world.

DAVENIC Posted July 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 I assume they work. They are on e-bay, priced at AU$25 for both. There is only two days left of this auction. Here is the link: E-bay Caravans Hope this helps. Dave Quote "I spent most of my money on beer, women and slot cars. The rest I just wasted."

oldtamiyaphile Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Just thought I'd point out that those are 1/43 scale and not 1/32 at all. Even the smallest caravan should dwarf a WRX. I have a 'van that's a bit better scale wise, longer mostly, maybe 1/36 scale, have yet to try it behind a slot car though. Quote 32nd Reich - For all models 1/32 - Back On-line.

itelectrical Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 Who gives a crap about what scale they are or are not... One guy said they look fun and another guy said it may be good to haul a camera around in.

Chris @ Thunderbird Raceway Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 Speaking Of Caravan Racing, we recently had our end of season presentation/fun night, and what did we race? Thats rights caravans! here are some pictures of our 27 entries. The entire field getting ready to race Looks Like something in the kitchen caught fire! The vans were constructed from 2.5mm balsa wood and held together with hot glue or aquadhere, the wheels are hard plastic from various toys or rubber slot car tyres coated in super glue to make them slide. The axle carriers were made from a chupa chup stick glued to the floor of the van. The idea was to try and smash your opponents van while completing as many laps as possible within 2 minutes.

itelectrical Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 Man, Talk about fun! That looks unreal. Quote JamieB ITeLECTRICAL Check out my Current Auctions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVENIC Posted July 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 I agree, that looks unreal. Who ended up winning ? Did anyones van get thru unscathed ? Was it a crash and burn style race or did your van have to be wrecked to be out of the race ? Great pics and a top idea. Quote "I spent most of my money on beer, women and slot cars.

Chris @ Thunderbird Raceway Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Thanks Guys, and it was a lot of fun. The Format was 2 minute sprint races and the object was to smash your opponents van but the emphasis was on fun. We have more events like this planned for the future. If anyone would like the specs on building the vans, just email me. The van that won was the black van with a skull on the back, towed by a Tide Nascar.

bump Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 I'm surprised at the effort everyone put into those caravans knowing full well that 20+ people would be trying to demolish it. Next year a dunny derby with Aus V8'. Good to see people not taking things too seriously. Quote There are 10 types of people in the world.

Vinno Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Next year a dunny derby with Aus V8'. Good to see people not taking things too seriously. Yes lets do it. Don't want to roll them though as it will make the track messy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
