Re: 1/24 scale 2.4g Magracing.

Hi Wes, I now have a place for a track, so I have dragged out my mag steer test car from 2010 (as shown in a previous post above) and want to upgrade it with the latest equipment.

Re: 1/24 scale 2.4g Magracing.

Does anyone have a complete 1:24 front end available? I am ready to upgrade my old Cadillac test car now that I have a place for a layout.

My hacked up Cadillac: :o

Re: Three Chassis with Different Transmitters and Electronic

Headlights turn on/off would be nice. Does anybody have Mag Cars with light? Never heared so far. I have been looking for mag steer cars with those capabilities so I can run them on my 1:24 scale model railroad layout.
