Enjoyed the video my friend you're absolutely right that is a hell of a lot of work to take a metal body modify it to fit ho chassis then make a mold and pour resin bodies oh hell also that ain't cheap your time and then the materials I guess it's well worth it if somebody wants to pay the price and you have that particular body that no one else has and your Ho slot car is zipping around a track with that particular body I like it
I mostly do it because it makes racing easier. When we started setting up for racing in late 2016, just trying to get everyone to have the same thing to race with was hard to do. So much required postage from the US, and bodies were by the majority not something we could buy in bulk from a single supplier (centainly not with enough colours to choose from so everyone had a different colour). And after spending a fair bit buying, not many were willing to custom paint them so they were unique. Our of frustration, I taught myself to resin cast. It was certainly a learning curve. And resin casting for racing meant they needed to be strong, and be able to stay on the cars. I think I'm confident enough now to share some of my techniques to be able to encourage others to do the same.
This is exactly why I create the videos on my channel. To encourage others to take that first step towards something more that just using out of packet stuff.
This might be a stupid question and someone may have already done it and I just never seen it the original Mad Max car that would be freaking cool what do you think about them apples if this has not been done and you decide to make one maybe you could make one for me also naturally I would pay for it I live in the United States the land of Pinocchio Joe Biden are Presidente the worst president in United States of America's history sorry I had to throw that in there because it's a freaking nightmare over here

The Matchbox Subaru SVX body fits nicely on a TYCO 440 wide! Thanks for doing this, I will finally get my SVX slot car. Subscribed!

Awesome can't wait
Would the red one fit a t-jet? Just found your channel yesterday, love this content. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for having a look. Sadly the Red Torana has a wheelbase that's too long.
