MadMax completely skipped the stop in here, and this thread (and board) have been dead lately...

Anybody see the movie Zombieland? Take a guess what vehicle I'm thinking.

Time to nut up or shut up!

More apathy than I thought. :|

Rule #4: Doubletap. When you take out a zombie, there's always a moment when you think they're dead, but they aren't always. Two in the head, ensure they're dead.

I like the direction you're going. Time to add some "pieces of flair" on the body.

Zombieland was worth seeing. The film takes place in a post-apocalyptic America, where a zombie apocalypse has been triggered when "mad cow disease became mad human disease and then worse", set after the worst of the outbreak and most people are gone. It's more of a Zombie-comedy rather than Zombie-horror. This was Tallahassees' car in the beginning of the movie.

In the movie the body was pretty stock. Black escalade, chrome rims, white "3" on both front doors, and a big black V-plow on the front. I'm pretty sure it would have gone farther if it hadn't been stolen and broken. Pieces of flair could help, thinking I may need somebody armed hanging out the sunroof. Other suggestions?

Called the Parentals last friday, and heard screaming in the background.
They said they were watching Zombieland lol. They're in their early 60's, so it's funny to me.
I dunno, what was really funny was the next day when I went over
and visited them, and asked them how the movie was. My mother stops what she's doing,
puts her hands on her hips and exclaims while turning towards me " it was really good".
That's great, I'll get Grandma to record that bootleg Cannibal Corpse cd for you guys.
It's just that they're my parents and usually watching some hollywood drama flick that's been
spewed out into the public, so this particular scenario was entertaining.

Yeah man, sorry I don't have any suggestions, I haven't seen the movie myself yet.
Reminds me of that Deathrace 2000 movie though lol.

I've realized there's something quite immature and happy that I really like about the Zombie or Post-Apocolypse genre car. It doesn't have to be pretty, or street legal, or any of that other stuff. Purpose built, mean, utilitarion...aggressive takes on new meaning.

Hit me with ideas for an all-out build

They said something about having either paranoia or pent up hostility and rage toward others. All I know is they'll not be ready like I will be. Must be ready.

Cardboard aided drafting. Trying to figure out the fenders, haven't decided on front end. Does it want to be a stupid racing one, or a working/hunting kind of rig?

what if we take a ZZ-M, cut it apart like an Articulation mod, chop the axle heights WAY down by removing steering, gear reduction, motors. build up driveshaft supports so you can hook up U-joints...

then make up a set of narrow rims, narrow tires. say 0.155 (inner bead height) narrowed...

Some form of steering and gearing can be hooked up to the chassis

*** EDIT:Couldn't get the pic in before work

modded rim/tire on Left, stock zz-m tire on right. Front of my ZZ-M looks a little short for some reason. :grin: My LandRover Defender 110 truck may finally get a chance, but my Samurai also wants to play.

added pic above. That was as far as I could get before running out of CA.
As made so far: axle remains out at stock width (call it 2.450" sidewall to sidewall), top of knuckle C to bottom now 0.700". Tire width is now about 0.500" , tire height is still 1.100" , outer rim face still 0.550"...So....my 1/24 Suzuki Jimny (Samurai) kit tires have 0.450" width, 1.100" height, rim face of 0.675". :|

To put it into some real numbers... I'm making in 1/24 scale: 12" wide, 26" tires on 14" rims, with a powered, spooled, steerable axle 59" wide. Not quite the 42" mudders on 22" rims that is usually considered ok on a "scale crawler", but it should be passable on a lightly modded Suzuki Sammi

vwmicrosizer um, uh, smaller words... me have non-running zz-m on desk. me think hack zz-m down make small scale-ish axles, look good for 1/24 Sammi or little Landy 110 (1/30) bodies that also on desk. me make cool scale RC from body too small for "Losi Micro" or "1/43 SuperSlick Monster" axles.

even smaller... I pimpin' dat shit. yo.
