I would paint it white and black
and put fujiwara tofu shop on the side :D

ya....then we could do initial-d drift competitions. i can picture it already. all we need is a rx-7 savannah and a newer one and some more of the initial d cars

Too bad headlights arent in flip out position

It came with flip up lights you can screw in, I actually have them in now.

bad photo, was in a hurry

It's a Kyosho Mini-Z body and they have 3 color's for the trueno: Silver like mine, Red, and the infamous white or Panda style.

Kyosho even offered a Initial-D endorsed car at one point...

I payed $7 for mine, it comes as a model pretty much with wheels, a cheap chassis and a stand with a plexiglass case around it. Unfortunately they didnt have the white though.

Here's the kyosho page with the bodies

Wow, those are very hard to come by at the moment...

awesome dude. light that baby up

how did you mount the body?

Nothing beats oldschool :)

pulled off the tabs, stuck foam pieces there to make it clamp around the batteries on the Xmod, it's a very snug fit. And the front clip of my skyline xmod fit into the hole on the body. I also shortend the body down, I still need to cut my driveshaft to fit since i rather not pay for a set of shafts

photoshops i did last night while avoiding school work :D

*painted stock wheels

paint with the "panda" colors, mock CF hood

kinda takes out teh initial d concept but hey..

ive seen that before.. looks like fun except i'd go for a gas model... too bad i dont have money to spend on toy cars, it get's thrown at my real car instead.

so when r u gonna paint and light up that ae86 body?

the foam mount idea works great! i used it to mount the vette body i have for my car. thats an awsome idea
