[twisted]

those midgets are awsome!

[tmr22]

The purple one is not the 360. It is the non-down tube car. Dennis calls it the old school car.

[IRON LOU]

Wow,another midget!!! I got somebody to race!!!! LOL!!

NICE looking sprints. The way sprint cars should look. Which one is the 360 and what constitutes a "360" sprint?

[tpfuelz]

If I remember correctly the Az. "360" car is a regular dodc legal sprint with a $100 dollar motor limit and a canister muffler. It is a kids class and the lack of tuned pipe slows it down.
Dennis's sons car looked a tad bigger than some of the other cars but it is not truck based.
The midget was very cool in person also.

Thanks tpfuelz.

Nice cars ! I really like the old school sprint. Its cool that Dennis's son welded up the first version of this car.
I have one of the first midgets that Dennis built they are a must have for any dirt oval fan.

[Rahnl17]

Those midgets look cool, are they available yet? I hope they make a class for them to race somewhere.

[az sprint]

The midgets are having a few changes made before production. He will be taking orders in a few weeks.
Have you heared he is also testing a prototype losi based nitro sprint car using all losi parts.cool huh !

[Carson8302]

If you make a nitro sprint out of a Losi XXX-NT, I would be interested in one!

[antilley]

ummmmm ummmm can't wait.

I bet that Losi Klein will run like it was shot out of a 'slingshot'


I can wait to see it....

[IRON LOU]

Did you actually put a radio in the midget yet? I had a HECK of a time getting mine in,the car's practically built around it.I ended up having to load the battery from the bottom[like a legend] And I hadda stand up the steering servo.The radio is mounted on a seperate radio deck.Mine's mid motor.

The midget is going to be a 4 cell 19 turn motor spec car. It is supposed to be available in the next few weeks if everything goes well. Dennis asked me to post these pictures for him. I made a mistake when making the post none of these cars are a 360 car. The first car is Dennis' personal car. The 2nd car is the midget. The purple car is the old school car(non-down tube). I don't know how the spec car is going to be laid out for electronics but I do know that it has a 4 cell battery tray in the car. Dennis told me that a Quantum 2 speedo will be the perfect fit for the car. Foam tires are to be the tires of choice. He has designed the cars for carpet tracks, asphalt and concrete tracks. You could probably run them on dirt if the track was small.

[IRON LOU]

Just a little advanced warning...Trinity 4-cell spec packs are just about non-existant right now.Tower and Horizon have them on back order for months.Pro-Match has them[at least,they do on their website] but most tracks don't allow them.

[lugnut727]

What parts does he use on the Midget? What CVd's, Arms, Bellcrank, ex...? Sweet Car!!!

[tmr22]

You will have to talk to Dennis about all of the specs about the car. I just tell everyone what I am told. I haven't had one in my hand but if it is anything like what I have gotten from him it is a thing of beauty.

[az sprint]

What I have seen is a b3 front end ,rc 10 short arms using ( rpm's version ) ,
associated transmission mid mount ,mip cvd's,associated pan car shocks.
Like I said earlier Dennis is still making changes so we will wait and see the production version.
I keep hoping for a direct drive for more fun out of 4 cell, but Dennis is also updating his direct drive so I will have to wait for that.

[IRON LOU]

I tried to make mine a DD car.It's almost impossible.The trans is so long because of the DD gears,the motor sticks out of the side,and the car would be a lot longer.Mine's a 4-cell mid,and there's only 1/4 inch between the servo/battery,and the motor/battery,and the servo is standing up.It's tighter than a frog's behind,and that's waterproof.

[k7king]
