Road Rage


For those unfamiliar with it (which will probably be most people) Road Rage is a game of automotive combat which I stumbled across online a while ago and thought, 'Hey, that looks like fun...' The rules are designed for use with Hotwheels-sized cars, and (best of all) were free for download on the author's website. Unfortunately, this was a Freewebs site, which appears to have disappeared... After some brief testing, I'm looking to re-write the rules to streamline them a bit, and once I've finished I'll add them as a download in this section.



Click on an image for a larger picture (Opens in pop-up window). The first picture for each car is a 'before' shot, the others show my minor modifications...

Mini
 
My first Road Rage conversion. This is a 'Realtoy' Mini, which has been dinged up using a small drill, a pair of clippers, and a screwdriver and hammer. The metal plates are cardboard and plasticard, and the mesh is made from pieces of dishcloth. The rocket pod was taken from a cheap plastic tank.
 

 

Humvee
 
I wanted to keep more of a military look for this one, while still giving the suggestion of a vehicle that's had a hard life. The door-mount autocannons were originally assault cannons from Space Crusade
 

 

VW Beetle
 
This car just had to be pink. I'm sorry, that's just the way it is. The autocannon is from a cheap toy tank, and the rear-mount flamer is a plasma gun from Space Crusade.
