Very cool scale car
Hey guys, gals, and some in between,
I do not really post in here, but I am a voyeur.
I like the trucks and craftsmanship you all have. I thought you may like this little car I found on craigslist the other day.

I'm curious how he modified the Toy diff to work on a chain-drive engine? I'd like to build a car like that but that is one of the many hang-ups. Now many rear-drive cars in that size. Servicar diff's are rare and not that strong.

It looks like the engine is mounted parallel with the frame instead of perpendicular to it. There is probably a flange machined that converts from the sprocket to a drive shaft coupling.
I had a Mercedes that used large rubber discs instead of u-joints and I imagine some thing like that could be modified or adapted to eliminate a lot of the vibration in the drive line and facilitate the connection.

Is a ninja chain driven? I am not sure about the crotch rockets, but my VTX and some Yamahas are shaft driven.

It's not a Coupe' (pronounced coo-pay, coops are for chickens!) ... where's the roof? This is an example of what hot rodders did to 1928/31 Model A's or Deuce Roadsters.

That's just a "modified" legends race car. Nothing 36 Ford Coupe about it.
And the only good use for a sbc is on a the end of a chain. With the other end connected to a boat, as in an anchor!

My guess is its a modified Legends car. I had a buddy racing these for awhile. I guess its a fairly inexpensive way to get into racing. Everytime he came into the pits I kept waiting for all the clowns to start getting out of it
