question for the rc guys

[mentaleeill]

yeah if some one wants to make them i would be very interested in 1 or 2, as well as i'm sure many others would. my car is a hpi rs4 racer 2 that i bought used(stock). i have been upgrading everything to aluminum and cf. i got the 2 speed trans and a ported and polished hpi .15ss engine in it. it's alot of fun, the only thing is i keep wanting to go faster then all my friends. i keep buying and tearing down engines, using my dremel to open them up. kind of addicting like a real car, always wanna make it better.

Gold Good luck finding them in Japan.One body was JY15000 plus shipping I have two of the E30 M3 bodies :D

I was on s14.net and read something about the tamiya bringing back the e30 m3...

...the tamiya site isn't complete but the page exists

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?

you are kinda of smart and now it seems like you have a lot of time on your hands.....why dont you do it then?

I have a vacuum 1/12 scale body of an M3 but that doesn't do us squat good. I was looking for a 1/12 chassis for awhile for it so it's might for sale if some one wants it. Clear never painted. make reasonable offer.

How much do you want for it?
Who made it?

I call dibs. 8)

Hmm... Jordan, you gave me an idea. We have a vacum former at my school that I could use and make a few. Now all I need is an origonal body...

I have a real one..... do you know what you are doing with these?

[M-technik-3]

Not giving mine up for experiment. :? To hard to come by, i'll wait for Tamiya to re-release the body.

Wake up and smell the re-release.

[M-technik-3]

Yes I know we will never see it, but one can dream of a warehouse full of these. :roll: But maybe someone has a few in Hong Kong as many knock offs come from there.

You want to risk having yours destroyed? Not me.

[BarF1]

I search everywhere in HK.

Couldn't find anything.

however, I got the 24002 320i and the new release 24269 Jaegermeister 1/24 models.

The whole purpose of owning a tamiya body is the decals and the pieces that come with the body (ie the plastic mirrors, roof antenna, etc). Also, you would need to find a decal sheet for them.
Everyone who is suggesting making a replica needs to view one of those shells up close just to get an idea of the level of detail.

And no, they are lamin-x fogs.
Also, Tamiya959? Did you happen to buy a Ford Escort TA-01 about two years ago?

BTW: Gotta show off my car, ready for this years racing season. Who all is going racing this year?



One more after digging through my pics.
Who has a nitrors4 here? Check out my old one. Notice anything different? LOL

No, but I did buy a Ford F150 Pre-Runner TA-01 about 2 years ago (maybe longer) for my kids to play with.
