Impressive! That's one of the most detailed RC cars I've ever seen, gets my vote as best RC car in the world!

check out
genkidoridori.com
r2hobbies.com
rc-race-and-drift-japan.com

they got rare parts you cant find at your local hobby store. You gotta buy the chassis and pick out body/wheels of your choice.

wow, so i was looking at that thing for about 2 mins before i came to the conclusion that something wasn't right about it and it was too shinny. then i thought it must be fake,,, then i realized it was fake... in my defense i'm only halfway through my morning coffee... nice toy car for sure though.

Change the venue, like the middle of a large parking lot, with nothing around to give it relative scale. photoshop the body posts out of it, and then see if you can fool people, just avoid the interior shots.

I used to be into electric and nitro cars years ago, and you've done a fantastic job on that body. Very nice

they don't have actual kits that i know of but i've seen people get creative and make something similar.

That is one bad a** RC. I would personally not drive that thing around at the risk of rolling it, damaging the body and paint job. I just want one of those on my desk. Great Job
