You sure that's half scale? looks more like 3/4 scale to me...

[@TheFreedomMaker]

Most late models are about 20’ long, ours were under 10’. They actually make 3/4 scale late models though if you’re looking for one.

Can you do a tutorial on a half scale NASCAR plz

[@TheFreedomMaker]

[@nzsaltflatsracer8054]

There's a big difference between assembling & building.

[@ethanjohnson8247]

They have to buy some parts but they probably build the frame

[@thomas.thomas]

Are you going to ny buddy

[@camkraisinger9845]

Where do the chassis come from? Can you buy built cars already? I have been in karting since age 5 (now 24) and we have been looking for next step into stock car racing. Have been looking at Street stock, crate lates, etc. Would love to find out more about Cyclone racing.

[@TheFreedomMaker]

+cam kraisinger The new chassis are currently being built by Warlock Jr Late Models in the Illinois/Kentucky area. There are cars currently in the North East, most go by Mini Cup. The suspended cars are oriented more towards dirt racing and the rigid (non-suspension) more towards pavement. To my knowledge there are no tracks in the Northeast that run rigid but just pay attention when buying a used chassis.

Wish i had the money for one. Looks fun!

[@TheFreedomMaker]

Definitely loads of fun! I have several videos of the races uploaded. Check em out!

It’s actually an MD3 modified late model nose. Comes in two pieces, center seam gets riveted together then
