Memorabilia Collection: Tamiya Remote Control Car
 

I got this idea from Ocean's 11. Here is a Tamiya RC car that I painted to match my Boxster. It was pretty fun putting it together.

Did it come with an extra IMS bearing ?

Where did you get it?

Was it in the boys or girls toy section? :)

Joking aside, very cool! I think it looks great.

I got it on ebay.

This one is from the boys toy section for sure. It took me a week with some midget tools to get it to work right.

Did you Get the extended warranty?

No, but it does come in your color.
Found it in a hobby shop a long time ago.
Haven't gotten around to putting it together yet, someday.........

The color is right !!

I did this a couple of years back, you can find the old kits on Ebay but they are pretty pricey I think mine was about $200 I have scene them for $250 plus shipping. I got the color match paint for my car so it was a exact match. I have build a bunch of RC cars so the project was very easy for me. It only took a couple of evening in front of the TV.

Ha, ha! Now just like Ocean's 11, you have to race it and have it runned over by the full size car.

If people would simply list all their cars in their sig line, I wouldn't need to ask what's the red car next to your B'ster? I have a 1964 MGB Midget I need to get back to work on.

Sorry Timco, I'll add my cars to my sig line.

It's a 1966 Triumph Spitfire track car built by Red LeGrand who built many lightweight formula cars, including ones that bear his name. Here is some more info and pics from a Triumph/MG Experience message board:

This is the guy who built it:

How does one find the aerokit, and scaled down 20x11" wheels for it? :)
