OK befor i m even start talking take a look at this first. NEVER MINED THE PRISES IT'S NOT ABOUT THAT.

MAISTO BENZ S55 AMG 1/18
http://www.diecastmuscle.com/store/Makes/Mercedes+Benz/S+Class/MA31051BL

JADA BENZ S55 AMG 1/24
http://cgi.ebay.com/MERCEDES-BENZ-S55-AMG-JADA-DUB-EURO-1-24-WHITE-MIB_W0QQitemZ7004753536QQcategoryZ47194QQrdZ1QQcmd ZViewItem

OK NOW. WHY is no one can make it wright?
MAISTO makes 2005 S55 AMG boddy kit,2005 tail lights,2005 AMG exhoust,nice looking 2 color intereor,nice stereo system tv's and other.
BUT MAKES S500 enine,which is older S55 look a like.

JADA well it's a dub city so ofcourse stereo tv's and all that,2005 AMG KIT,2005 EXHOUST.
OLDER TAILIGHTS.
AND AGAIN OLDER S55 ENGINE.

WHY? WHAT NO ONE CAN'T MAKE IT WRIGHT?

on my MAISTO S55 i corrected that problem i took engine from SL55 and swaped it,pics r comming.

on my JADA S55 well i did something to to correct the problems.
i ll make some pic and u ll see what i did.:smokin:

lol you really pay attention to that engine dont you?

They all look like shit. The older Maisto S500 is the only real looking car,

yeah mistakes like that piss my off too. i was pissed on maisto's playerz because no amg engine! and they bothered to say amg on the back and no s55. and the front bumper isn't what the body kit looks like. the corner grilles are curved up they are sopposed to curve down.

02-02-2006, 07:49 PM

yea we should make our own models ,that's why i m making my oun S CLASS LORINSER with boddy kit and the engine and interror ,and wheel evrything is lorinser.
and don't even ask ef it's ready? lol it's not . i have no time.:smokin:
jada's amg kit looks a bit more realistic. maisto is ok it can pass for the AMG kit.

rasta_dubbed
02-02-2006, 11:06 PM
yeah... i like the jada's becoz of the paint job & rims...

but the thing i dont like jada's are their ENGINE...(its flat & all chrome)

thats why.. i always modify some of my jada's..

i wish we could order any car from some diecast company and order it to our every speciffic detail like add on carpet $5 or leather seats $10, that would be pretty cool.

nosliw2004
02-03-2006, 12:08 AM
whoops. i forgot to say that yeah i wasn't expecting the s-class lorinser to be done any time soon. lol. i'm expecting a few more years when the new s-class will get a facelift. lol.

rasta_dubbed
02-03-2006, 12:23 AM
i think that's why we are here... to modify their cars..

so for now... lets enjoy it.

U R WRIGHT ABOUT THAT. ef thay would make perfect models then it would be no diecast forum lol:smokin:

nosliw2004
02-03-2006, 12:57 AM
well the forum would be for us to show off our custom made cars. dotm would be a touigh choice! lol

02-03-2006, 09:26 PM
Because Maisto and Jada are teh suck.

DUBSRUS2
02-03-2006, 10:10 PM
well i like maisto, some of they models r good .
MAISTO is THE ONLY ONE WHO MAKES S CLASS IN 1/18.
i wish that AA would of made S55 ,let's hope maybe AA will make a new S55 OR EVEN S65 i m not asking for S class LORINSER, I M making it myself, but if all this company would start making lorinser ,brabus, amg,of evry model it would be grate:smokin:

nosliw2004
02-03-2006, 11:19 PM
that would be sweet. oh crap totally forgot about the cls renntech. ill take pics now. sry about that. i had a ton of hw when i first was gonna take pics and then i got a 360 so i've been busy. so yeah. me taking pics is about as long as you finishing a project. lol.

nosliw2004
02-03-2006, 11:52 PM
oh yeah and @dubsrus you forgot to mention renntech (my fav tuner for benz)
well here are the pics.
you can see my baby in the background. i used your cover idea. but i use this sheet thing as my car cover. i have another one it is covering my slr. hahaha.
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y7/nosliw2004/c87fd0e7.jpg

renntech air box inside the cls500. originol hp 302 the performance package includes the air box and ecu chip. it would bring the total hp to 319. a 17 hp gain.
still need to put the renntech logo ontop.

02-04-2006, 03:15 PM
nice very nice i like it good job.
about my idea u can't do that ,i have coppy rights LOL
but for u to use it it's ok. for 2 reasons: u covering BENZ and u just like me like BENZ's. lol

now how about some wheels which look a like to the one RENNTECH uses?:smokin:

nosliw2004
02-04-2006, 05:48 PM
@dubsrus noone really makes rims that look like renntech. i want to make it a subtle mod. just like my 1:1 s500. only thing done to it was the airbox. but i might put rims on it because i'm gonna get the kyosho cls. oh i just remembered that since i got a 360 i can make 1:18 360s now!

does anyone have a pic of renntech's supercharger for normally aspirated v-8 cars. i don't want a pic of renntech's modded supercharger on amg cars. thanks.

DUBSRUS2
02-04-2006, 07:51 PM
i m one of the biggest BENZ fan i have tons of pics and web sights about BENZ but i don't have the one u asking for,sory.
and about what r u trying to do it sounds like a good idea.
about RENNTECH wheels they do make some:smokin:

nosliw2004
02-05-2006, 02:36 AM
who makes RENNtech rims? and about the car cover thing, it was your idea but a little later on i found my cmc cloths so i put one on my cmc slr and cmc transporter as a car cover so dust don't get on them. i just took one of them off because i didn't want people to see all of the finger prints and stuff like that.

DUBSRUS2
02-05-2006, 08:47 PM
i keep all my models in original boxs or dysplay cases.
i said they look a like RENNTECH. just like on my CLS they BRABUS look a like.
but the one i m talking about for u ,they good for a 1/24 suv's they woud be to small for a 1/18 CLS.
do u want to put only RENNTECH look a like or just some nice wheels.There is a good AMG look a like would look perfect if u lower it,like i lowered myCLS.
there is alot of nice looking wheels,spinners 2,me personaly i m not in to spinners:smokin:

nosliw2004
02-05-2006, 09:28 PM
no spinners for cls. the only benzes that can pull of spinners are the w140 and w221 s-class. so the one before the newest one and the one before that. and the g wagon and m-class. black lowenhart ldrs would look nice but i would like renntech style the best. i bought this black cadillac cts 1/24 from jada and broke the wheels trying to take it off so i would like some rims where it is a kit. then it would be a 0% chance of breaking them off. so which suv has the RENNtechs?

DUBSRUS2
02-05-2006, 09:36 PM
no what i m saing is the company who makes dubswhich kined of look a like like renntech,they would feet on 1/24 suv's,but for 1/18 they would be to small.
this is the one i m talking about

:smokin:

02-05-2006, 10:31 PM
yeah you mean the axle. is your backspace button broken? lol. those don't look too much like RENNtech. i don't know. i might go for black w/ chrome lip. steal the rims from a jada 1/24 kit. those rims would fit perfect.

DUBSRUS2
02-05-2006, 11:16 PM
damn yeas AXLE.
K THE 1st set they r the same sise as JADA 1/24
IN that set they have one looks just like CARLLSON BENZ wheels
http://us.st11.yimg.com/store1.yimg.com/I/yhst-97102109552530_1878_4577807

02-08-2006, 10:24 PM
oh yeah now i understand. but the 1/24jada are oversized for 1/24 and when i test fitted it on a 1/18 it looks nice. i think i calculated it to be like 19".

02-09-2006, 06:16 PM
yeah jada 1/24 will fit nicely into a 1/18 w/ resonably small wheel wells.
