Sorry things have fallen behind, my Mom had her surgery but had a heart attack during the operation and developed breathing problems along with that. She's still in the hospital. Your continued prayers for her well being would be greatly appreceiated.
I did find the time however to release and begin shipping the super well received 1964 Ford Galaxie body kit. I am still filling back orders but please feel free to order one of these kits. Pictures of a couple completed cars coming soon.
Also decals will soon be available specifically for these Galaxies from Slotcars4u
Most of my other plans will be filled but not likely as soon as I wanted. I will have drag race options available for the Galaxie so you can put together some great old AA/S cars from the golden years of drag racing.
To those asking about tires for BWA rims. I'm waiting for a selection of rims to come in from Canada so please be patient as I'm sure Al is pretty busy up there toilling away.
I only have a few pictures of completed cars from customers but I'll put up a page for them so you can see what others are up to. There is a real nice pic of a Willys kit and Javelin kit. Don't be shy, people really want to see what others are doing.
Watch for a link page dedicated to our hobby too.
God Bless and goodnight. :)

Moms doing better but she is still in a lot of pain and has trouble walking. Hopefully the ultrasound will help with finding the problem.
Thank you for your prayers!
I'm just finishing up the master for the 64 Galaxie. I've redone the whole thing from the prototype I showed earlier this year. It looks much better with crisper lines and fit.
Super write up on the Home Racing World message board! You can check it out at Home Racing World
Tiny Motors has it's first retailer selling a selection of tires. Jim Heller of Miniture Racing Center in Richmond VA. Thank you Jim!!
The dragster kit should be out in mid September and a new batch of chrome will be coming in a few weeks!
Thank you for all the pre-orders of the 64 Galaxie!
Take care and stay safe!

Moms been back to the hospital three more times since my last update. Thank you all for your support. Seems she has severe infection in her leg and may have contracted a chest infection while in emergency.
Thank you again for your understanding.

Things are on hold. My mom had to be rushed to the hospital thursday night for an emergency operation. She is doing fine but is in a great deal of pain. She's having trouble keeping the pain medicine and antibiotics down so we're taking care of her best we can. If she's not better in a couple of days then the docs say she has to return to the hospital for a drip hook up. Personally I think they send people home to quickly. She's going on 82 and is very frail.
So please understand if items are lagging until things get back to some resemblence of normal.
Also, please use the new order/contact form just to say hi. I want to make sure it works as it should. So far as I know there are no gliches and things seem to be working fine.
7/18/08
I have a new order/question form. This should eliminate any of the bounce back e-mails. I found out that many were having their e-mails sent back saying Tiny Motors e-mail didn't exist. This is caused by your ISP being on my ISP blacklist for uncontrolled spam and virus contamination. It has nothing to do with your personel e-mail just your provider or your providers provider. Got that? If you still have trouble, God forbid, contact me through e-bay under seller kenoshaki.
I'm still touching up the Galaxie, the doors just weren't looking right but I'm close now.
Enjoy the warmth, less than 6 months until Christmas!

Ta Da! New web address. Maybe surfers can find me a bit easier now.
New 65 Coronet body kits and 57 Chevy. New Eldon guide flag and some new tires came out this week.
I'm taking pics of my overstock slot cars and will be posting them shortly. Some Eldon, Marx and modern cars too. Some JL HO stuff too.
New 'Cuda body coming out soon. This will fit on Strombecker 3 post chassis and Eldon along with other aftermarket adjustable chassis.
The Galaxie is nearing completion! I'm trying to fit the Monogram chassis on it for a bolt in swap along with other aftermarket adjustable chassis.
Well, now that carpul tunnel has set in after redoing the website it's time to relax a bit.
Take care!
6/28/08
First off, THANK YOU! Thank you for the great response to the '69 Javelin kit! I really appreceiate your orders and kind words!
The Galaxie has a few more bugs to work out. I've decided to realign the doors for a better belt molding alignment. And the rear bumper is wrong so I'm reworking that too.
I have another new tire release. This is for the Carrera 1/32 Willys and Hot Rod. I really hate the wheels they put on these, way out of proportion. I know, I know that's the style now days but I think it looks like crap. These 17 to 20 inch rims make the cars look like some kind of $1.98 chinese toy cars.
I'm waiting for some new wheels for the dragster kits and reworking the headers to zoomies instead of the original weedburners. If this works like I hope, it will add to the looks of the car.
The prototype chassis has gone through it's last generation and it should now reach any 1/32 wheelbase body out there. Just doing some cosmetic stuff now.
Take care and stay safe over the 4th.
6/14/08
Happy Fathers Day! Great day to be a dad! I hope your family got you some slot cars for your special day!
Javelin Body to be released sometime next week!! Price is $29.00. Molded in tan only, vacuum formed windows and interior.
First Javelin I'm puttin' together will be a model of a real Javelin that I had when I was a 16 year old kid. My brother and I fixed it up and it ran 13.43 @ 98mph in the quarter. Not too shabby for a 343 with the poor 68 heads.
Talk at ya next time!
6/09/08
Finally got the new website up. It has a few glitches but overall the errors are way down and more people should be able to view it. Next is changing to www.tinymotors.net. Hopefully in a week or so I'll switch to the new address.The Javelin mold is finished and I'm tweakin' it out. The first part looked great.I do have several "seconds" that are available without interior but comes with bumpers and windows for $15.00 each plus $5.00 shipping. These have slight imperfections. The most serious are not visable and don't affect the looks at all.
New tire releases for the Carrera FR500 Mustang, $4.00 per pair and the Revell Dune Buggy, $10.00 per set of 4.
Well, back to the grindstone. I do have a surprise comming up. And to all that asked for will be happy campers. The 64 Galaxie will be out shortly.
5/17/08
Well things were going great until my back injury returned with a vengence. So I'm running somewhat slow. Slower than normal. lol.
The new mold material will be here Monday and I can get the Javelin body out by the end of the week.(fingers crossed) and the Galaxie body will be out the next week I hope.
New tires will be coming out too. New Carrera and AutoArt tires along with the long awaited Revell Dune Buggy tires.
This is all providing my back continues to mend without relaps.
P's me right off, over a year since the last lock up. And I didn't even do anything stupid this time! Grrrrr.Take care and keep watch, I mean you can't afford to take an enjoyable drive any more, so stay home and play with your slot cars!

Wow! What a March! Super sales! Thank you all so much for your support!
Dad is home from the hospital! After an aortic valve replacement he is doing ok and on the road to recovery!! Thank you for your prayers!!
Ok, has anyone bought the new Revell/Monogram 63 or 65 Galaxies??. They drag on the track!! The magnet holder hangs too low and will catch on any uneven surface!! If you have any part of your track, say the female side of the rail connection, popping up even just a few thou, wham! the cars hit that and click and jump. A real bummer that the "engineers"(lol) overlooked. For a "toy" pushing 50 bucks you'd expect better, wouldn't you? You can sand it and/or put a taller tire on.So we have a new tire coming out for these cars. The tires are a larger diameter and wider. They will be a treaded tire and will have a plain sidewall like the originals.
Too bad for this factory screw up as these cars look great!Because of this release I'm pushing our 64 Galaxie to the top of the list and I'll be making a prototype mold in a day or so. I'll post a picture later2/16/08
I am dropping the Fleischmann NF tire set. It seems to be too confusing. I'll keep making the WF tire set since this seems to be the most common tire for these great cars.
Polistil tires are switched to a special order as I will not build a stock of these anymore.
2/14/08
Greetings! I hope you had a great holiday season! Sorry it's been awhile since my last post.
Things are hectic around here, my Dad has to have open heart surgery. After visits to the emergency room and many doctor visits they have found his aortic valve needs replacement. Whew! Prayers are appreciated.
I got my Trak Mate timing system!!! Now, not to toot my own horn but I've done some 50 lap e.t. testing with our tires and the firewall grommet jello tires. My preliminary tests were with 6 and 12 volt(using my 12V adapter and traction magnet) Eldon cars. Both my Doubleback 5 and Wide Track 5 tires(these are the only ones I tested) consistantly beat the "wonder" tire by .35 to 1/2 of a second on a 16 foot test track!! I'm snooping around to see if I can get a webmag to do a independent test to confirm my findings. If you know who to get in touch with let me know!
I thought I had the Javelin body ready to go but I found during assembly of the first pull that there is a defect in the original that I didn't catch, so I have to repair this and remold again. Sorry for the delay.
The new chassis will be coming out soon. I promise! Just a few touch ups and adding mounting points for an optional drop arm are all that I have to finish up. Again, this will be for an S type motor. And will have oilite bushings.
Two new tires are in the works. A new Strombecker for the early two piece spoke rims. And the AMT Turnpike tires will be out soon too!Tiny Motors is now registered and will have a "real" web address!!! A new TINY MOTORS website is in the works and, and, drum roll please...., You will be able to buy using a shopping cart!! and pay using a credit card or Paypal account!!!! The orders have almost doubled from last year!!! I have bought new tooling to keep up with the orders! Thank you!!!
Praise to God!
Until next time!

First off a moment of prayer for those who served in WWII.With luck the Willys body kits will be out again in a few days. Also, a AMC Javelin body kit. The Willys will work with the Eldon chassis along with other narrow chassis. Our chassis is almost completed. I'm still working on a drop arm set up for it.
11/08/2007
First, a note to clarify our 20 item discount. This discount applies to 20 tire sets, bumper sets or any combination of those two items only. Quanity discounts for other items are at our discretion.
Example: Customer 1 orders 20 sets of tires (any combination) and 1 set of front dragster wheels. He would get a discount on the tires and the dragster wheels.
Customer 2 orders 3 DBW tire sets, 1 64 Vette bumper set, 1 Set of Eldon Dragster slicks and includes 15 body screws. This order would NOT get the 20% discount.
10/12/2007
Wow! It's really been months since I updated the news page!
Ok, biggie announcement. I will have to stop building custom ordered cars for the time being. After I get these last few done, that's it.
Sounds stupid I know, but I've got to get the new molds finished for the new body and tire releases.Designing decals and paint schemes just ate up too much time that I should have devoted to development. And learning a new mold building technique too boot just took the summer away. Let alone the problems with the decal ink disolving when sprayed with clear coat. That was a trip! And took weeks to sort out. Thank you Mr. Printer company for switching your ink!
Never buy an airbrush off fleabay. At least not the Chinese or Taiwan ones. No one that sells them carries any parts! So your stuck with a $40.00 P.O.S. Learned my lesson. Pay the bucks and get a good airbrush. Shoot, I've got 5.99 Harbor Freight specials that spray better than the ones described above.
The tires and body kits are the bread and butter of the company so I have to change priorities for the time being. I will still fit in a few RTR cars at my leisure but custom jobs just take up too much time. And I don't like to rush someones order just to get it done. Some say I'm too picky. It's my achillies heel I guess.
New tire releases, so check out our tire list and check 'em out.More tires coming soon for Scalextric and Carrera Vintage NASCAR, Palmer/Marx 1/32 Jalopies and Indy/Grand Prix cars.
6/5/2007
Oops! My hard drives crashed with no chance of recovery on either one. I have lost all my orders. If you had an order for a Ramcharger and Don Garlits RTR dragsters please e-mail again! They are ready to ship. Also all my tire orders are gone too so please contact me if you haven't gotten a reply or invoice for your orders! I'm am so sorry for the delay.
5/26/07
Thanks to everything going up in price,especially shipping charges, we have been forced to change our 20+ item discount to 20% across the board. We have also been forced to up our shipping too. We went this route rather than raising the price on our products.
4/28/07
New wheel inserts for BWA and some Revell wheels are ready. These fit BWA .385 and .450 ID wheels and .375 Revell wheels. The inserts are genuine US automaker 5 lug "steel" wheels that all US manufactures used. I'll post pics and prices this coming week.
The last of the first run Willys standard kits are sold out. The mold will have to be rebuilt as we've made over 70 kits and wore the thing plum out. :)
We're making the last of the original type dragsters too. We'll make 'em on special order but the new dragsters will have corrected proportions of the supercharger and the roll bar will be placed in the correct spot. We'll keep our EDM going since the parts are interchangable with the Eldon Dragster but an all new dragster kit will be out in the fall, maybe two.
New tires too, soon. Revell and some Motorific stuff. Along with the last two types of Eldon tires. The small mag wheel Indy tire set and the SUPER RARE wider Speed Shop tire that was offered for only 2 years. Thanks Rick for finding a rare Eldon treasure!
New Marx pickups are planned too. We are building the dies and have a new press to squish them out with. lol! The puck style will come later. We're looking at a die for the Lionel 1/32 car pickups too.
No one has stepped up to our employment ad so we're doing this stuff all in house and it takes some time to stir the pot, flip the eggs, butter the toast and feed the dogs. So thank you for being so patient with our new releases. Seems like everytime I announce something it gets pushed back a month or two.So in the words of "Big Daddy" Don Garlits "don't tell me what your gonna do! Show me what you've done!
So if you don't see much activity on the News page, just rest assured that we're pouring on the coals to get stuff done!
3/26/07
Dragster kits are available again! Motors should be in this week if the vendor gets his butt in gear! This is his last chance to ship on time! Backorders will be filled first then any new orders.
I have had a good customer bring to my attention possibly some confusion that may have effect on the Willys kits on ebay. These are the Basic kit, all parts are tan. No Chrome and no parachute pack. Hence the $28.00 price tag rather than the $40.00 for the Deluxe kit with the chrome pieces and chute pack. Deluxe kits were sold out soon after I announced them. Restock is soon.
3/9/07
Willy's bodies are available in tan only for now at $28.00 plus shipping. The are selling well on eBay so I haven't posted them on the website!
Strombecker Midget parts sets look great and all I'm waiting on is the clear windshields.
The new mold for the Dragster failed :( and has to be reworked. This will be done asap as I have orders backing up. Although the painted RTR cars are shipping out now.
