G-Machine Rigs - LOL!

I have a video of one of those Euro race rigs doing some tight corner drifting. I'll see if I can dig it up. Actually, I think it's from somewhere in South America. Not sure if this should be in the multimedia forum or not, but here's a link the clip. http://digitalphotolounge.com/displa...album=25&pos=5

Is it me, or do I see a little of the Cadillac front end in those renderings. I could see those with a big Cadillac emblem on the grille

Hey how about we do a DUB addition with wheel spinners!!! Naaah, just kidding.

Yeah you could do something of a Cadillac with it. Could you imagine a 16 cylinder turbo diesel???!!! Paint it black with a little more chrome in the grill area? Inside would have to be amazing with a full luxury treatment. I wonder how many truck drivers would buy an ultra-luxury edge-styled Cadillac rig? That'd be sweet. Who's gonna build it???

Hey buddy. You just leave that to us.

I dig the drawings. So if I read it right, that's a project you worked on at another company? Wild stuff.

I'll take an orange one with a trailer too. Hauler for the the Streetfighter. Speaking of Streetfighter and prototypes, any new info or pictures of the next Camaro John?

Before I worked here at GMP I worked for Mattel designing Radio Controlled Stunt and Fantasy vehicles in the Tyco R/C group. I also designed the entire line of Water guns know as Shieldblasters and it is very successful. The last project I did before I handed in my 2 weeks notice to come here was a line of 1:10 scale drift cars called Drift Kings. I even helped them develop the trick chassis and drivetrain along with the custom S15 and RX-7 bodies and wheel/tire sets. I miss the projects but not the politics. Anyways the trucks are 1:32 scale and are full function (steering left to right, forward and reverse) The transmitter and cab can be packed up inside of the trailer for neat storage.

Don't worry Kris, no DUB stuff over here at the GMP camp - it's all you. Actually doesn't Mattel have the DUB license now. I think they went to Mattel right after I quit.

What happen to the drift car project?

[JohnnyGMachine]

The drift cars are on Walmart.com - type in Drift Kings in the toy section search. $70 each. I'm gonna buy a set of 'em soon.

I did do an entire presentation on pro-touring to design, packaging, and upper management. I proposed Big Red, Mules, and doing the GT500E from Unique as radio controlled cars. This was way before all the Big Time Muscle, Pro-Rods or any of that stuff was even being thought of yet. Nobody "got it". In other words until it's already mainstream and 50 other companies are already doing it then that famous phrase comes out of upper managements mouth "why aren't we doing these - why are we always behind the curve?" DUUUUUUHHH! And this usually happend like clockwork - 6 months after we present this type of idea to them. Anyways I'd love to have a nice 1:6 scale gigantic 1967-1969 PT Camaro R/C car!!!!!!

I have seen a semi with spinners! and they weren't no light weight things either.

My dad would eat those up! Man those are nice! Just like everything else. Do you have a fan club yet? hahaha. You could do a whole new lineup with those. 18 wheelers, flatbed trucks, tow trucks. (sigh) If only I had the artistry talent...well that, and about 190 million dollars.

Thanks guys, I really just like to have fun with the sketches and have been very blessed to be able to take my drawing talent and be able to make a living at it. I will be finishing up the first sketch this weekend of my Gen 5 project. As soon as everything is finished up I will have it up on my new webpage. Stay tuned.
