I can attest to that, cannonballs were the worste micro I ever owned. it was actually my first micro and I almost didn't get in to micro at all because of it.
melt it, it'd be cooler as a puddle of melted plastic.

your are right about the size, but i screwed up, and after being corrected i went and dug out one of the damn boxes that my wife packed my shiat up in and looked at the lil rc again,

now the mini rc is not a cannonball, its a bensu and it is as long as a zz i swear to that.

I have to throw the Bensu in the POS hat !

They were horrible Micros but they had the coolest Bodies!

I have a few Bensu's and NONE of then are ZZ sized. They are just a regular bubble clone. All the MS, Tomy, and other bodies fit Bensu's.

This is a Bensu.

This is your Citroen shell on a Bensu chassis.

I think those H2 Hummers that Toyeast had a while back were Bensu's... they were longer (ZZ wheelbase).

thats it hue!!! it was or had a hummer body on it , oh and it is the H1.

Since i dont own a reg. zz and questions about this impala body from the get go was that i was to put it on a zz size chassis, so i used this one, (per finks plans that got nixed )originally it was on a micro bit chassis like the bubble dome ones, then it was lengthened and shortened again so i am kinda tired of slaughtering this body up to fit a specific chassis, sooo it will stay like it is so that i can finish it.

I wanted to be able to have enough chassis under it that i could dual cell it or have room for elctronics like full out lights and the such, how many of you have seen the hot wheel cars that are being offered at McDonalds in the happy meal, the ones with the lights and lil micro switch. I plan on using these lights on this impala .

thats it fo now.

Yesiree Buddy ! I have a couple of 'em, they and the Chevy SS pickup were the only one's, all other Bensu's were Bit sized.

sweet! how much more do you have to do before we can see a finished product

well now that i have the structure the way i like it i can now work on detailing it out, then i will paint it and that still leaves the enterior, witch i have not determined as to what approach i want to take with that. in all i think that in a week or so it should be pretty darn close.

Interior Suggestion:

Get yourself an Import Racer or DUB City 1/64. The seats are very useful, but instead of using the seat backs, use the bottoms. Or you could make
some custom seat from Styrene. Hell if you're skill'd enough to do that
body, seats should be a breeze!

Man dat is one sweet sled in the makin' J!

Mad props on the hard work, mah man.

I just wish RS could get rid of that crap that makes the top of the SE chassis look like the insides of a radio from the 1940's.

There's gots to be a way to make the SE work in a lower chassis. Maybe if they lengthen the chassis, by say...a quarter inch, they could lower the chassis profile. Don't know what dat would do to da scale, tho.

Da impala is gonna be so sweet when you're done. Man, dat was a gross understatement. You ever think about sellin' da molds to RS?

Props to the bigguns,

Love Doc

I have a crazy lowered SE that I'll post tomorrow. Course for J's project my style wouldn't work at all though.
