Well, its to small to drive but it does take less time to detail found this one for 6 bucks! In box mint condition Ive got a similar one thats graphite but this one matches Nina and is just what Ive been looking for!!

1/24 scale by motormax

 

I bought two, in white, one for home and one for the office.

 

Anyone seen a red roadster version of decent size?

 

Found this....

Chrysler Crossfire Roadster Blaze Red Crystal 1/43 Scale Die-Cast Model

on these scaled models, the higher the number - the smaller the car???

 

Yep it goes by the first number is inches on the model and the second is inches on the car. So for a 1:18 scale model every inch on the model = 18 inches on the real car.

 

It actually has nothing to do with inches but is rather the scale of the car. For 1:16th scale, the model is 1/16th the size of the original. While this does work when it comes to saying that an inch on the model would equal 16 inches on the original, it is relative for all measurements, inches, gallons, MM, liters, etc so say for instance if it had a gas tank 1:16th scale to that of the original, it would hold 1/16th the amount of gas that the original would hold. Now granted this is only a little matchbox car but when it comes to making scale replicas of farm machinery, which anyone who lives in MN and knows what Farm-Fest is all about, on occasion you'd see a true to life working scale model of a considerably larger tractor or combine. All the parts work, it has a matched engine and transmission and all the other parts that make them work and depending on how exact they got, would sometimes even have all the controls and little buttons to scale.

God I miss being a kid. That stuff was so cool to see.

 

I'm thinking GREAT Christmas Gifts!!!! We are all still kids at heart!!!

 

Can you tell me where you went on e-bay to buy the model?
Thanks

 

Im not sure if they have anymore. I was sucumbing to my lunesta "trance" late last night and had gone to ebay motors, searched crossfire accessories, and this was on like page 14 or so. They had lots listed but around 30 bucks. I believe you can also search for diecast toys. Great luck Its from motormax and was listed as a 2003 crossfire!

Of 1:18 and 1:24 scale, Motormax is the least desirable. Bburago and Maisto are the premium and most accurate.

The Maisto has silver wheels like the real thing, Here is the Bburago, which has chrome wheels:





The 1:24 TESTERS KIT actually has MOTORMAX on the base...

Well not to be picky but when it comes to volume it is much less than 1/16.
How far would you go on a the gas that would fit in a gas tank of 1/16 car?
Way way less than a 1/16 of the volume of the full size.
Simply put a full size tank 1 unit x 1 unit x 1 unit = 1 cubic unit, the model would be 1/16 unit x 1/16 unit x 1/16 unit = .000244 cubic units. You would not too go far, with the price of gas these days thats not a bad idea.

 

The finishing touches to make it complete: rear diffusers and a license plate...

 

Wow, that's really cool. I was just happy to find one so cheap and red to add to the other 2 Ive picked up along the way. I don't know alot about die cast cars other than my 70's hotwheels could payoff my crossfire IF MY FOLKS DIDNT TOSS THEM AWAY WHEN I JOINED THE SERVICE...ahem, sorry, not that Im bitter about that and I suppose Im just guilty by tossing out aprox 100 lbs of my kid's teenage mutant ninja turtles stuff.
