It's almost embarrassing. Little supra is a tamiya RC drift car. Big supra is a slow piece of shit. :)

Thanks guys. I figured of all places I'd be most accepted here. Ha.

For that don't know the shells come as a clear pressed poly(or kevlar?), with a decal sheet. You cut everything out (body and decals - takes forever) and paint. The "molding" is actually automotive pinstripe tape.

Originally the kit came as an mk4: https://www.tamiyausa.com/product/item.php?product-id=58392 - Apparently now discontinued - but looks like you can still find on ebay. I paid like $150 for mine but it requires a few other accessories to run. I'll gladly make anyone a list who is interested.

But I bought the mk3 shell from another company: http://www.abchobbyusa.com/66096.aspx - Looks like they're out of stock but again, ebay.

They're fun though when the car is down for one reason or another.

yes, I had the Tail & fog lights added. This body is only used for display. I also have a MKIV body that is also only used for display.

well done! i looked at your build thread 5+pages back and didnt see any rc cars. what nitro car are you using? i have motor/cyl head clearance issued on my nitro 4tec. ill be using this for display only too, the lights are still masked off so i can still throw em in behind the outer stickers...but damn thats a bitch! props man

and if anyone here hasnt tried using a gyro for steering, it works awesome. you can adjust how much it takes over but if you lay it out properly it will "auto correct"/ counter steer like what its used for in rc planes/heli's.

edit: has anyone noticed that the kit didnt come with rear side marker light stickers?
