Local Toys R us had it.

It's an odd kit... Sides, front back and wing are plastic, center of body is die-cast. It makes it easier to modify to fit since you can remove the individual parts and dremel or sand them as needed to fit....

[burgan]

since it has some metal i am wondering if it is much heavier than the stock s1 or s2 bodies.

they look great.

thanks again,

jeff

It's a bit heavier, but I only use the car to tool around the kitchen, so it's not much of an inconvenience for me. I really DO wish apex/epoch would get off their a**es and do something with these things. They are great little cars.

[burgan]

and that epoch/apex are being lame.

have you tried the super slick bodies? i put the skyline on my spec2 over the weekend and i like the way it looks. to some it might not be scale enough but i think it looks like a bigger zip zap.
they have a mustang that might work as well.

i also have a new brights pickup truck that i am going to try this week.

and then there's the quad cell job i need to do.

[mcojoc]

no. Not yet. All the cars I measured had shorter wheel bases than the Epoch at it shortest...

Do you have pictures or links to the bodies that you got to work?

[burgan]

in the micro rc "other" forum. there you will see a blue skyline that looks just like mine.

it didn't take much to get it to work, especially if you have a dremel tool.

Thanks Jeff, I just can't get past those tires sticking out the wheel wells!
