I've got a Nitro RS4 Racer 2 w/all the goodies, 2 speed tranny, CF parts everywhere, upgraded Nitro Star .15 engine and plenty of other stuff. May end up selling it, if anyone's interested.

The tamiya body is most likely 190mm as it came on electic kits so it will be a little narrow for the 200mm Nitro rs4 but I believe they can be adjusted for the smaller width by adjusting the arm mounting points. It's been a while since I last built an HPI kit.
wait I just found my manual, you can adjust it to 190mm but you have to buy new Universals and move the front Hub assembleis in a Hole, and shorten the tie rods.85 325e 2.7 ITB'd stroker

I know some of you people on this board have a Tamiya 1/10 e30 M3 shell.
If you are smart, you know how they are made... vacuum table.
If you were really smart, you would fill the inside of the shell with a suitable perm mold, and make many many vacuum tabled replicas of it. Given the harsh undercuts the model has tho, I do not see it possible to not destroy the original in the process, but then again.... who cares when you have a endless supply of bodies?Tenured Automotive Service Professional - Avid BMW Enthusiast
