Sounds cool. I see that the mach 5's old chassis has a 130 motor or 2. Like to see it done.

the old chassis has 2 130 motors on it one for drive and one for steering (kinda overkill for steering) and it may be done by the end of next week hopefully

Mmhmm, there were 100 made, and they're really Covettes.

The similarities with that and the vette: that the vette was heavily modded. I believe the vette was a sting ray.

for the movie: it is being made and if i remember correctly (the trailer was in december) it should be out in either may or the summer.

Good luck with this, I always liked the Mach 5 for some reason.


whats this movie gonna be called

Speed Racer. I guess most of you guys are way to young to remember the original cartoon. Actually, who isn't? (it's from the 60's, but was rerun in the 90's).

Original Speed Racer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_Racer)

Speed Racer Movie (http://speedracerthemovie.warnerbros.com/cmp/main.html)

And it's from the Wachowski brothers (the Matrix series), so it should be interesting.

just on a side note and totaly off topic buuuutt... notice that this site has like 6.6 thousand members and according to knvicted theres like 62 active members on this site...i think it may be time for some springg cleaning maybe everyone who has not been active in the past six months or like under a hundred posts...that might acctually mess some stuff up though
