thanks for the comments guys!

Genkidoridori.com
rc-race-and-drift-japan.com
r2hobbies.com

^^^those are sites where i get most my RC wheels/bodies from. Or i just head down to the local hobby shop and order through them if they don't carry it. Check out hyperdrift.com or csjunkies.com for more details on setups and anything RC related.

depending on what RC you have, some have the option to set the camber and toe-in.

I'll be starting the LS430 today or tomorrow and have it finished by the weekend or sooner. ALL the bodies you see are 90% done and few things needed to be added but i'm too lazy and i keep starting new sheels! lol

Fantastic!!! Out of all of your chassis, looks like the GS has the best proportions and scale. The BMW and LS look a little bit off and you can tell they are RC shells, but still look pretty good.

yeah i agree. The GS was made by tamiya and they are more accurate as far as body lines and they really made it perfect for 1/10 scale. The LS600 was from ABC hobby which is good quality but their decals suck but ive done some changes to it that i'll eventually update you guys on. The e30 M3 is HPI and they made it look like it has a wide body. If you know about these brands, you can see that HPI over exaggerated on most their bodies but are now becoming more detalied to scale. The LS430 and odyssey i got are also made by HPI and looks somewhat off according body lines/shape but hey, i wanted an LS and tamiya don't make it so thats as close as i can get lol. The e90 is also tamiya and you can see the nice detail compared to the others.
