well its not full scale but it is a replica. i work in the radio controlled industry and these are not your wal-mart rc toys. these are full hobby grade rc's that can cost about $500 per chassis and some people drop close to $1500 into one of these suuped up toys on steroids. these cars can adjust timing and "boost" on the electric motors and do about 45+mph. well i just got an Evo X body in from one of our suppliers and i figured id paint it up like my favorite shops car. now it is a little rough and i still need to make a few more stickers but you get the idea....





now i do need to find some taller body posts for the rear still, but other than that its basically done.

i hope everyone likes it and specially the guys down at ams. thanks for all the help and support over the years!

Are these the motor hobby cars? i have a drifting one. Runs pretty fast.

 

ya you can get the gas (nitro methane) or electric powered. this one here is electric. it has a stock motor for the class that i run, when im able to run it. i am the track director at the place where i work, so more dirtecting than racing for me but this is for me as a toy and a rather nice looking shelf queen i might add.

And is hit but I'd do a JUN replica! Love yours btw

 

i do have like 2 more x bodies coming so i was thinking of doing a jun and then a much nicer ams one. the one i have now will be my race body.

i can also get evo 4,6,7, and x bodies. for some reason they never did an 8 or 9 body.

Tamiya Evo X body I assume. Nice work

So are you going to run RCGT with this car?

 

That is pretty bad ***!!

 

that was my inital plan with it, but as i mentioned not sure how much i am going to run it due to me race directing.

thanks. i appreciate it, but really its to say thanks for all the help and support throughout the years!

thats pretty cool. I use to race trucks and buggies

 

I had the same problem. i couldnt find an VIII body anywhere. PLEASE let me know if you ever find one.

 

nice!!

 

i maninly race 1/8th scale buggies and truggies, but i do have some 1/10th scale stuff as well


i will def keep an eye out for them. the market changes almost everyday.



thanks. i appreciate the comments. i have always thought that replica bodies looked the best!

 

This reminds me of the Dale Jr. commercial where everyone was getting tattoos with his number and buying stuff, then he made a press announcement that he was changing his number.

The car no longer has the NOS Energy Drink livery. Its flat black with AMS and Mitsubishi livery now!

 

oooo flat balck that would look awesome. post some pics and ill do it!
