My New M3?

[EVOIIIM3]

Ok, so it's really a BIG toy.

Yes this is the NEW release of the Tamiya TT-01 AC Schnitzer E30 M3. Of course, I had to make it a replica of my M3. So far I have got all the gear to run it, some hop-up's and a new motor. All that is left, is doing the CF hood, working with stickers SUCKS!

It looks better now, this is right after putting on the decals, and they were still wet, from my positioning spray. Lets see, 2hrs to assemble the chassis, about 8hs for the dam body, cutting it out is scary.

Hopefully my full hop up kit will arrive on monday with all the cool parts I need! Then I'm going to add some headlights & taillights.

Yes, it a FUN drift car!!


:P

It needs a carbon fiber hood.

I take it you will probably park this baby on the hood of your full-sizer at shows and such? :)

Goto autozone and pick up a roll of that god afwul CF vinyl stuff :) Do the hood.

Not yet, I JUST got it. Believe it or not there is a HUGE racing thing for these, and next weekend, it's going to the track!

Jordan, look at the wing & splitter, I already have the CF tape, just doing a curved piece that big is hard, I might have to do 3 pieces on it.

I also have some BBS RC looking rims.

I am aware of the racing of R/C cars... I had 5 of them before I got into "real" cars, and I sold them off to pay for mods :) I had some Traxxas and Team Associated vehicles.

Looks cool, my son has already tore up those pretty wheels on the one I bought for him. We raced yesterday all day. I am impressed with the speed of the TT-01 with a stock rs-540. My TA-02sw with a team losi bb-540 race "motor" is not much faster. Maybe 7-8 mph faster but the tq it makes stomps his car.

I did ball bearing his car thou, and we gave it a cf prop shaft. My car is heavier due to I put aniti sway bars and lots of mods. It should be lighter with all the modded parts but it's slightly heavier.

I am running a junk old body thou.

Thanks

They have these at my hobby shop here, and I want one soooooo bad. I've got the money, too.


Must save for the new E30, must save for the new E30, must save for the new E30...

I thought it is a 200mm? Not sure this stuff is all new to me.

[Jand3rson]

I believe it's 190.

if you dont mind me asking.... what does this kit cost with everything you need to get going? josh, feel free to jump in too :) this seems really cool, where could I find a place to buy this kit?

[Jand3rson]

Well, as far as I know, the kit doesn't come with EVERYTHING you need, I think it's just the chassis, body, and electrics. You have to buy a motor and radio, and porbably a few other things.

I think the kit runs about $100-130. Any decent and reputable hobby shop will carry the kit, and if not, they can probably order it. I think you can also get it online from Tower Hobbies.
