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.

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.

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.........

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.

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:

1966 Triumph Spitfire (LEGRANDSPITFIRE) Registry : The MG Experience

This is the guy who built it:

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