about $10-20each they have some really expensive ones ($200)



mike

that's not bad. one day i'd like to own a RC car.

so where can i get one of these kits?

I have two. That white type RZ and a black R2 model. They are fun for a while themn they just become bookshelf pieces. I have a nitro car that I useed a FD body on for a while also.



I know you can get some here in the states from

www.speednation.com

Thank you Dave.



I wonder if they do have this one though:

I'm in love with it. Maybe it's the car, or even the color. Maybe even both! Ah... lol https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

You like Innocent blue mica huh? Wanna ride in my car when I get it back together.? :POON:

I'm scared to order from HLJ again, the first few I ordered got here in about a week. These last models took over 6 months to arrive.



I have two of the LHD 99 FD's that Wal-Mart used to sell.

I picked up a FC3S GT-X model from a hobby shop a few weeks ago... was a kyosho body for their small rc cars they recently came out with. It's quite detailed and pretty accurate/proportional. Looks great on my monitor at work next to the S4 NA rotor.... When you buy bodies for these cars they come on a rolling chassis with no electronics so you have basically a hollow model and if you buy the RC chassis kit, the body+wheels can be swapped over to the RC chassis, for a 'full featured' RC TurboII https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png the store I visited was a bit too expensive though.. they wanted like $150 for the RC chassis kit which includes the controller etc... I just couldnt justify it... But the body was like $20, not bad I guess.

I have ordered the Mazda FD3S RX-7 Type RS '99, Inch Up Disk series Nr.36

and the 93 R1 model (the one with the engine) from Speednation.com

great site...

althought I also ordered that Visible Mazda Rotary engine kit, and that thing is a piece a ****! Speednation has good reliable service though.

I need a 1/12th scale FC RC body?

felix, i want the fd type rz. wanna give it to me??

same here, actually I want a 1/10th scale for one of those touring cars, they have an FD veilside body for the yokomo but I havent found an FC body yet :(

yeah www.hlj.com is kinda scary it usually take about 2 months to get your stuff, but it always eventually shows up



mike

Sure, why not dave?



Hey, I'm thinknig of bidding on this:

What do you think?

I have some limited edition Hot Wheels FD, in some special package and all, never opened it, I think it was a run of 5000. I also have the Kyosho 1/18 scale red FD that everyone probably has. Got this model of the Savannah convertible I still have to put together, Ill paint it with the same paint as my car, and you can make it right or left hand drive, it looks pretty detailed and tells you what color to paint every last part, I should get around to that this winter.

I was bored at work today so I took some pics of my mini-z rx-7... rotor in view for size reference https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR
