Hi All -
I bought one of the RC car bodies and had it all done up to match my car. I thought it would be a fun winter project to now assemble the chasis and get it mobile. I have read that the Tamiya M04L is the kit to buy, but I am really having a hard time finding one. Ordered one on line last week and was just notified that they were out of stock and did not know when they would be getting anymore. This is the second time this has happened to me - and from two different sources. Is there another chasis that is available that will work? I am a total newbe at the RC thing. Thanks - Scott S Attached image(s)

Slightly off track, but how do you mount these bodies on the chassis? Do you need to use the holes with the ugly mounts sticking out of the body, or are there other methods? Hopefully someone with more RC knowledge can let me know.
I do have an old Tamiya Boxster RC model, so this would be a nice change. Also, did the Fuchs replica wheels ever get made and available? If I do a 914-6GT look, it needs 5 spoke wheels, not the Boxster's wheels. |
