    Ah man.. I never like doing things over twice but for what the car is, it's best to get it done right. Once it's done like you said, that money is back in your pocket and besides since you have other whips that you beat up on, you should have more than 3 really good ones, so I would do it and get it done right.

    I had a Tamiya Quick Drive 1/12 scale radio control car back in the 1990's, it was an awesome model. Sadly I sold it to a friend at that time too. I've wanted the 1/10 radio control model but I wasn't lucky to find it. Radio control cars have turned into amazing models, even the most simple are equiped with lights and sound. Those Tamiya 1/12 and 1/10 radio control models were too simple. I still have four street supercars 1/10 scale from Kyosho, 1/10 oversized scale, they are like 1/8, very big cars.

    That's got to be one of the nicest scale model F40s I've ever seen. Shame it's plastic rather than diecast. The body lines and overall shape look as good as the $600 Kyosho 1/12 model to me. The paintwork looks stunning under your lighting too. Does it look good in person, or can you tell it's plastic at a glance? Tempted to grab one as a display model at the price they're asking.

    • @drxxavier
      @drxxavier  5 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      My advice... Go get one. This thing is cheap. it is most definitely not diecast but you can do so much more detailing work to make it stand out. also the 1/14 scale is huge and the fact that it is RC is AWESOME.

      The radio and receiver that I'm using is the flysky i6s which is a 10 channel remote. You probably only need 4 channels or less for a project like this. Also you might wanna consider a pistol grip remote if you prefer.
