Thanks Demick. I wish I had gotten a better pic of the Stevie Nicks portrait. From these angles it looks pretty bad. Ok I'm not sure it looks that great anyway as you'd be hard pressed to tell who it is. The lace stripes don't show the depth that it should and the whole car shimmers as it's all irridescent paint. I had BCinSC film the test run. I'll post the video when I get it. Even stock this little car does pretty well. It really needs oil filled shocks or a front sway bar. There is a lot of body roll but the handling was very neutral. I think a faster motor would make it very entertaining.

Thanks for the kind words RPM. I tried to get the gray ghosting to show up in the pics, but it just wasn't happening. This body was for another customer, but when people pay my regular asking prices, I try my best to give them more than they ask for. Then again, I'm my own worst enemy most of the time.
thomasotten, I only have a couple left. I intend to keep one or two for myself and will be selling the others as prepainted. It's possable I will be making another order to Germany if things work out. |

Now that I see them, they look really nice. If you ever get another GB together, I'd be down for it.

Gwen, if you really want to freak out the puppy, add a hotter motor and a motor sound unit. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

Looks like I just sold off the last of the shells. The last one will be Signal Orange!
I wonder if another group buy would be possible? |

Another thought on this...
I may skip the group buy and just buy a stock of these. I'm thinking of stocking up on a few other models too; any suggestions? |

I have been watching this thread and think those cars a so cool. What does one of them cost. Everything from soup to nuts ( car, control, body, what ever else you need to run one).

Some of them cost over $300 . . . a nice one that's RTR would cost around there. I got mine as a brand new roller for around $110. Then I spent about another $100 on ESC, Battery, Servo, and some other little things. How much for one of those 914 bodies? I really want one! Let me know. Thanks

I doubt you could get a truck to fit under these bosies unless you're going for that Baja914 look. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
I've been buying the Tamiya M04M Alfa kits from TowerHobbies for between $200 and $250. Then add the 914 shell costs.
I'm working with someone to get more bodies. As soon as the price is nailed down, I'll let you know. The price will depend on how strong the USD is to th Euro.
I haven't seen one of those in a very long time. And even then the one I have is a slant nose. |
