IH885XLMAN Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Oh They are sh!t hot :o I want one but please dont take this wrong but the 50 series had newer weights (like on the ertl 6400) the longer sleeker weights would you ever try and fit the 6400s weights on to a 3140 just to see the effect it might have on it as a 3050 3350 3650 :P :P :P :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
