Where is HOMTPA located?
HOMTPA was
designed
as an Association, not an actual place. HOMTPA is anywhere fellow HO
Monster
Truck / Pullers are active in competition.
However, if your
looking
for the 'unofficial' home base (where HOMTPA was conceived) and the
location
most activities on this site come from, we're located at:
Do you sell any trucks?
As a rule, no.
(we did build a limited number of trucks for sale but they are gone).
Sorry, it takes a good
2-3 days to build a 'basic' Monster and (at the moment) the time is
just
not there.
How do you build / make the Monster
Trucks work?
This question
will be answered soon. I hope to have detailed instructions on site in
the near future. (DONE)
What is a 'Marchon' Monster?
Other than a
sore subject for me, a 'Marchon' Monster Truck
is a production HO Monster (actually, slightly larger than HO) produced
around 1993. Marchon's Monster Truck Racing 'set' consisted of 2
Monster
Trucks (Bigfoot & Snake Bite) and some rather unique 'hazard' track
sections.
The Marchon Company
has since been bought out and the Monster Truck line dropped.
.
How do you make the 'Dirt' tracks?
Get some ultra
fine hobby dirt (ground cover) and go to your nearest paint shop and
have
them mix up some latex paint to match the 'dirt'.
Paint the track and
while the paint is still wet, sprinkle on the dirt. Keep the dirt away
from the electrical rails as much as possible.
Once dry, do some clean
up, (sand the rails, clear the slots, etc.)
