Electric Scale Hechtspeedsters

Here's some pictures taken at Brent and Poppi's latest flying adventures. I read in the forums that Brent's eightysix was like 2nd in Scale jets behind his buddy Chris Wolfe. :)
I like the picture of Brent and Poppi standing at the runway flying. Looks like it was goodtimes!

SUBYROD

Just bought SUBYROD today. I love it! Here's Kyle handing over the keys. Oh ya, Josh pee'd on it. I'm being for realz. He pee'd his pants and was standing next to it and got some wizz on the sideskirt. Thanks son! Marking his territory I guess. LOL

Hechtspeed goes down in flames in a blaze of glory

Poppi and BurtRod took to the small scale sky at California Jets Fly In in Bakersfield this last weekend. Here's some pics posted on rcgroups.com forums of the boys Jets. Oh, and check that last pic, thats Poppi's big boy F-16 going down in flames after Burt screwed the pooch on the landing. Forgot to call the ball man! ha ha Just messin'. Sucks Poppi. Burt better be hookin' a Poppi up.
The new Blue Angel scheme on the Cougar looks amazing Brent.

There's a picture of Poppi's Twinboom "Falcon" thing before it went poof!

Brent's 86 lookin' smooth and scale. Man, these 2 make killer jets! You gotta see these beaut's up close to appreciate the work involved.

HondRod

Feeling the Hondas lately. Check these beauts out. I dig...

Pics found on honda-tech.com forums. Thanks!

2010: Year of the Suby

So, its official. I mean, for realz this time! ha ha March 2010 I'm picking up a Subaru WRX, probably a 2002-05 model (bugeye or peanut eye as they're known in the NASIOC in crowd).

Here's my first modification, a custom stainless steel/delrin shift knob I picked up from a local Suby owner. I got the black one, white was already taken.

Here's a couple WRX's that I really dig. One of each color! What color should I get?

My Gingerbread Rat Rod made it on MotorMavens! I'm so stoked! The rat was a lot of fun to build. I'm happy that Antonio at MotorMavens.com thought it was cool enough to post on his awesome site! I'm hoping someday I can get a real car of mine on MotorMavens.com. We'll see. 2010 could be the year.

p.s. Check out the "CD.Hecht" signature now gracing my photos! Thanks babe for doing that!

MPG Rod

Found this on MyRideisMe.com today. It's a T bucket roadster called the "Frankn T" by the owner "Mr. Freeze" from Arizona. It's a custom built frame and will run a 3 cylinder GEO Metro engine. Now, poppi's '90 Geo could get 56 mpg on pure highway driving. Can you imagine this little bucket, which weighs probably 1000 lbs or less...and that 3 cylinder probably makes like 85 hp, which would make this hot rod a spry little fella. I need to build one of these, it looks like so much fun!

Drivetrain:
Motor: Geo metro 3cyl
Trans:
Suzuki Samuri 5 speed
Rear: RX7- 4:11 posi w/ disc brakes
front axle: Ford W 5 in drop

Chassis:1x2 box space frame
