Help a newbee w/ a silly ?

[asaenz]

Ok guys,

I am very new to buying die-cast cars 1:18.

I have question this may be silly, I don't know.

I recently bought 4 AutoArt models.

Is it ok to display these cars w/o the base plates, in other words will the weight of the cars hurt the wheel attachments (spindles/control arms) in anyway?

Thx for your help

Al

Hey Alfred! Glad to see you expanding your horizons!

They should be just fine.

Like he said, they should be fine. All of my cars are displayed without the base.

Welcome to your new hobby. Trust me, you will be getting a lot more in the coming months...

The base plates are just for display purposes. The car will be just fine on its own.

Thx Fellas,

Just to let you know I checked the faq first and found no answer, then in again I am probably the only wacko to ask such a question...hee hee

Trust me, you will be getting a lot more in the coming months...

You need to warn my wife about that.

I went from 0 diecast cars to 11 in one month...hee hee

You guys have been very helpful, I checked the faq and some of your sigs. and links in your home pages and found where to get these cars.

Just to let you know the 1:18 Toyota GT-One TS020 #27 1998 is onsale for 39$, I cked that one up too....came in a few days ago. Beautiful car, even my wife luvs the paint scheme.

I am trying to get all my fav. cars from the Grand Tourismo video game series.
