1/43 anyone?

[Skv012a]

I loved the scale ever since I was a kid because you get all the details for a fraction of the price and space of the bigger models (well, sometimes). Now that dnanos are finally affordable, my passion for these got a new spark.

We had Modifiers line a few years ago that I thought was ingenious for the scale.

On a side note, here's my latest and greatest addition to my white car set:

I'll bump w/ some Modifiers pix in case you guys don't know what they were (basicly 1/43 xmods save RC part):

For the scale, the level of detail and parts was superb. At 10$ a pop, they EASILY beat the fancy $50 die casts IMO.

Somehow I missed this thread? Bah.

Nice looking collection so far. Although I don't have 1/43's as sophisticated as your dNano, I do have a few ZipZaps laying around as well as various 1/43's you find for $10 or $15 at shopping malls, WalMart, etc. They're pretty fun on a rainy day.

Cheers,
Kyle.

Nano, where? I want to get 1 for all of these bodies, but cash escapes me as of yet. As FYI, Hobby Town USA started stocking nanos for 130-150 depending on the body you buy on the chassis which is MUCH better than 220+ it was prior to US launch. Since I have all the 2.4 gear already, I just need a car and maybe kyosho LiPo/charger or some alternatives our local guys homebrewed already.

Haha. Brain fart, my apologies. At first I thought this thread was about dNano’s, not models. After reading it a second time I realize it is about static models. Please ignore my post, but, if you do get a dNano, please give us a detailed review and pictures.

Cheers,
Kyle.

Hit up youtube for nanos, there's plenty of footage already and then add what I wrote from my limited hands-on. Poke tinyrc forums too, plenty of info/pix/etc there for a while now.

Bump w/ a pic of most of my collection:





Pretty humble and a few not pictured. The colorful datsun is G1 Smokescreen that I figured fits given his size.

Ive got four Modifiers, thats about it out of the 1/43 scale. My other models are bigger scales.

I like your collection, but I prefer larger scales.

[Skv012a]

IMO these have all the detail you'd want minus the horrible price and size. I used to do 1/24s but moved down 2 steps in those interests. Only thing I miss is working steering.

[Gearhead14]

I remember when i used to mod these.http://www4.toysrus.com/superslicks/ssfl_2f2f.cfm They prob don't compare to yours but it was still fun.:P

[Skv012a]

Hear of those and they'd prolly be the best cheap bet for Dnano bodies.

[theoriganalRiD3R1967]

i've got one, it was a gift and there's no brand name on it, but its pretty detailed, i think

[Dr. Kustom]

OMG!!! Hong Kong Taxi! I want all 3 colors, red, green and blue.

[theoriganalRiD3R1967]

[Dr. Kustom]

Last 2 pics not showing up.

[theoriganalRiD3R1967]

Skv012a, sick furniture, i thinki've got the same stuff!

modifiers are the only toys i still catch myself playing with. that is unless you don't consider legos a hobby (which they are).
i have 2 escalades (metallic beige and black), 2 accords (white and dark blue), 2 civics (red and yellow (yellow has decals and no stock parts, came with the showroom, which i have)), a blue mustang w/ decals (came with a wheel rack and a lot of rims/tires), a blue mr2 w/ decals, a black f150, and my sister bought my f150. other than the civics, mustang, and mr2, i have the whole [something]th series that i got as a package for like $15.
as for other 1/43, not much, i think i have a blue f150, but that's about it.
