Hey Jeff, cool stuff as always ! I am getting relaxed and ready to start painting the detail on the little Ford wagon you sent me. Wish me luck brother. A great alternative to using valuable Slim Line chassis on custom projects is to use the little Jag DK-4 chassis. The second generation DK-4"s are fitted with a small diode that allows you to run them using standard AFX/Tyco controllers. As you know, the first gen DK's were either all the way on or all the way off, no low speed control without an electronic controller to dial the sensitivity down. The second gen DK is now the perfect chassis for customs. Very small in size, great tires and wheels (the chrome won't even come off with oven cleaner), screw on body mounting and inexpensive to boot ! They sell for 20 bucks plus shipping. Save all your good T-Jet and Slim line chassis for the real thing. As you can tell, I really think a lot of not only these little chassis but Jag as a company. I use tons of their stuff not just because they make great, high quality products, but because Jag is solid, honest outfit. We will talk soon Jeff.
thanks for the great video, I am glad you said to try widening the body on the dragula that was my first step at this build when I found a slimline chassis.
I'm glad you did this. I wouldn't mind having a pair of these. I think, maybe, a gentleman name Jim Miller of HWP (Facebook and Shapeway) may have the right chassis to fit those cars.
@@rodneyfox5397 The Jag DK series of chassis should work just fine. Me being an Aurora chassis fan, I had to approach the conversations with the Slimline chassis.
So, wow, great vid Jeff, thanks for posting! But, it looks really hard, don't think i have the nerve to try! +, I don't have a slimline chassis, or tyco bike, and, there REALLY expensive on ebay..☹
Good info on crown gear. Nice results from these projects. A lot of modifying but that's what make this hobby fun.
Hey TD, you are 100% correct Sir!!

Hey Steve, that's great information about the Jag chassis!
Certainly an ambitious project, accomplished with your usual perfection. More than I would probably attempt, glad you did it so I don't have to!
Hey Burn, if you ever want to give um a whirl, let me know, I will help you any way I can.
@@JeffRyan Thanks Jeff, appreciate that. Like Clint said, "A man's just got to know his limitations." 🤓
@@ryburnanderson6045 well stated Burn.
AWESOME video Jeff, Appreciate you sharing the secrets!!
Thanks for watching!
fun little project. 👍👍
Hey Rich, give um a try, they are both fun projects to get into!! Let me know how you do!
Those are simply put...BADASS!!
Hey Cave, thank you so much!!
Nice call using the tyco bike. Very cool look.
Thanks 👍
Great show Jeff
Thank you so much, let me know if you need anything.
You certainly have cool projects. I wish I lived in Florida.
Maybe one day!
thanks for the great video, I am glad you said to try widening the body on the dragula that was my first step at this build when I found a slimline chassis.
Hey Willys, when I first got it, I thought I'll just bend the sides of the Dragula...no such luck, right?!
@@JeffRyan Jeff I got mine to bend some, but not enough. started worrying about cracking or shattering the body
@@41-willys99 That is an issue I have had. I did, unfortunately destroy a couple of Dragula bodies trying different methods, but I got it to work.
I wondered how you did the Dragula; Very nice work!
Great video Jeff!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great projects there!!

Hey, listen, you can find any of the items mentioned if you continue to search for stuff on eBay for Lowest Starting Bid.
@@JeffRyan Well, lol, I actually saw a finished one for $65 obo but it's not the same as building it!
computer is acting up at the moment.
I put my address in comments section of that video for the Monte body.
