high octane junkie Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 when i get a rail, it's gonna be a drakart 2-seater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGP Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Wow Tim WTF??? Who pissed in your Wheaties? I was never bashing anyone or anything. I was just using Funco as an example of a car that alot of people think is ugly but is one of the BEST handling cars out there. It was actually a compliment. If you go back and read your brothers post, "HE" would be the "a-hole" as you put it in this situation. He was the one who started "bashing" the looks of Yoshis cars. Lighten up, man. I was only stating my opinion of Tom Pro. That was all. I think they are bada$$ cars and thought they were the best at one time. I'm so impressed with my car now I'd rank it up there with or above it. I personally think your car handles much better than the tom pro cars for overall duning.

dunefreak Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I personally think your car handles much better than the tom pro cars for overall duning. Thanks. Me too. Like I said, I am still so stoked how well the new car does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x-man Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 ok great so witch is a good car for jumping and or just soaking up stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Not many mini rails are that great for jumping mostly because of their wheelbase being so short. No matter what kind of car, plan on breaking stuff if you wanna get super big air in a car. All of them (that I listed before) are good for moderate jumping and soaking up the rough though.

ahsumtoy Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I have a friend that has a Tom Pro car. He got it turbo'd and has reverse. It's an awesum car and fun to ride. It is extremely fast and handles well. Maybe I can get him to come out to Dumont sometime (he normally goes to Gordons Well). Another friend doesn't want to spend any more than $25K and he is also looking closely at buying a Tom Pro so he can play with us. Don't know about the other cars however.

DeuelorDie Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Check this out: http://www.minibuggy.net/modules.php?name=...topic&t=452 This is where I have spent the last 2 months trying to decide which mini to build. Trust me, I could go on and on with thoughts and "opinions" of minis, especially after the UNBELIEVABLE ride in Dunefreaks SSC. But I am still stuck with Tompro. Everything from Design, safety, and looks, to upgrade abilities, price, options and customer service seem to impress me. Their videos show the hardest beating anyone else has posted or shown off. Next to the Sunset ride in Dunefreaks car. Even though that wasn't on camera, that was a beating well taken . Check out the turbos on video # 16 @ Buttercup. http://www.tomprodesign.com/Video%20Gallery.htm THIS IS JUST MY OPINION, NOT AN OPENING FOR ABUSE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you plan on building one of those expect to be in the 30-35K (at the least) price range. Sweet video though. I hope to turbo my car someday. I might definitely kill myself then.

DeuelorDie Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 (edited) It's soo cool how the turbos is always an option with the busa's. The silver single seater is only coil overs you can see the bypass tabs in the incar. And if 30k gets out to my wife I'm done with, so shush!!! u2 babert Edited October 17, 2007 by DeuelorDie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she asks how much I paid for my car, I'll say 5K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 (edited) I think the car you mentioned is in my opinion one of the ugliest cars out there. DAMM! Those cars are UGLY! Well that reply was a bit of a surprise, you'v never said anything bad about my rails before, have you seen it in person? O-well,..you are 1 of 3 people that said they don't like the looks of it...I am building a new model right now, here's pics and specs... http://www.glamisdunes.com/invision/index....howtopic=119409 Edited October 23, 2007 by Yoshi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the cars they build now are LT. My Short Sand Car has ~18-19" of travel in the rear and about 21 in the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoshi Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 (edited) Here's a few pics of the new protype. It will have coils and bypass shocks on all 4 corners, fullsize, 31" tall triple razors up front with beadlocks and power steering, full aluminum work including interior panels, LED light bar, and lots and lots of other stuff. Wheels and tires in pics are for mockup. Edited October 27, 2007 by Yoshi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
