Timbo, that mini is really awesome, looks like a real one :shock:

By the way, a friend of mine wants to know where to buy one of these

Can someone help? I have to admit that if someone can help I would buy one too 8)

That body is a Kawada Toyota 2000GT, part number TU64, price is $40.

Try contacting RC Champ by emailing them what you want and where you are and they should be able to get one (or two) for you.
It's also listed (but out of stock) at Hobbyworld Japan

Those ABC cars/bodies are incredible! My neighbor wants that BRE 510 now. :lol:
Wish I could find a Volvo 240 body that detailed. :(

Yes. I raced a cf chassied Cougar 2000 I bought used. Won many races with it and it will always hold a special place in my heart because of that. It was fun being in something different than everyone else, still being competitive and winning. I hand painted the british flag on the wing just to make sure all the Losi and AE guys knew it was a Schumacher. :lol:

Later I picked up a barely used Fireblade after I had quit racing dirt just to play with at home.

I need to dig them out and restore them both. Parts aren't getting easier to find. :?

I never heard back from Ivan, but Jason Reid just had some Blades listed, so I jumped on them. I just need to find that Lotus 79, hopefully Jason will be listing those as well.

The F103RM is the new re-release. Comes with foam tires, wings and either an "M" late model high-nose McLaren body or a low nose 90s era "T" Tyrell body. I don't think they are available in the US yet, but you can get them from a few distributors in Canada. I just picked up a new one from a guy who bought one from one of the Canadian shops.

If there are any of the 2000 series Cougar's you need parts for-let me know. I have a heap of both nip and used loose items. Cheers-Jason

I just bought a new F103RM kit and I'm still eye'ing up Jay's F201 on eBay. I have no idea what I will do with them, but the Japanese realism races and cars are too cool.




Houston, we have a problem. :shock:
You suck!

MUST STOP READING RC CAR FORUMS...


Anyone know where I can get a nose for my new purchase?
