Got this the other day. Very cool. Need to get another display case and an ESC, battery, and radio.Click to view attachment

That looks really nice.

Wow! May need more information! Nice!

Very Nice addition to your RC collection
please share your source

It’s a tamiya M series chassis and the body’s are made by Carson. I am having a member painting one just like my car then ran across this one on marketplace. I don’t think there are any spares. David may have an extra after finishing mine but not sure. I will likely sell this body

Here is an old thread on them. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-914...-rc-bodies.html

Nice 914. Looks fantastic on that street chassis. Not sure it would fit on an RC10 because the front and rear shock towers are so tall.

Does it have a brushless or brushed motor? I recently got old RC cars going both with older brushed motors. I was surprised at how inexpensive the ESC, radio/receiver, 2S LiPo battery, and charger were. All for less than $100. The ESC was less than $10.

Your right the RC 10 will not receive the body. Staying the the tamiya chassis. Do you have a link of what you bought?

Called my local RC/hobby shop today - they are going to try and order a body for me.

Transmitter and Receiver

80C 5200mAh Battery

High Voltage Waterproof 320A Brushed ESC Speed Controller For RC Car Boat Motor

ICQUANZX B6 V3 Lipo Charger Balance Charger Discharger for LiPo/Li-ion/Li-Fe/LiHV Battery (1-6S),NiMH/NiCd (1-15S),PB (2-24V),LCD Display with Power Supply

Does it leak oil?

Does Jake Raby make an engine upgrade for that 914?

Carson is out of the bodies currently. I ordered 2 from Germany 4 months ago and they never made it to my shop from the handoff with the USPO. Even with all the info for the post office they would not refund or find my package. You cannot get them anyplace in the world that I can find. They did email me that they would be getting more in some day. They did have the 914-6 stickers and I got 4 sets. Those came just fine. I got the car kit and controller and tools, and some hop up stuff. The wheels are look like Fuchs and I want to paint it up to match my 6 . I could make up a vacuu-form tool and pull it here at my shop but I am just too lazy at 71

Bob I don’t think it will fit that chassis.


Ps just a reminder I will have an extra body for sale once I get the one to match my car

There are both 1/10 I can mod if need be.

So you may want to get a sticker set

The M chassis that the Carson body was made for is 1/12 scale I think. It's smaller than the 1/10 scale Touring Car chassis like your Porsche RSR (260mm wheelbase, 190-200mm width)

@burton73 I have an interest in 1/10 scale 914 bodies

M series tamiya so concept 8 is currently what you should buy

@mb911 If you are selling the current body, I would like to be first in line when that time comes.

Crap, put me 2nd in line….

Will let you guys know.

for a radio I would recommend Jennysrc.com
Have used them twice with no issues.

When I bought the two bodies that did not arrive from Germany their ad said 1/10th scale.
I have not tried to fit because I do not have any bodies. The wheels on Bens’s car look like what is in my 1/10 Carrera kit shown. They look like my Fuchs on my 6 so that is the look I am going for.

My car is an early M 02 car. Not sure where the wheels came from but they are cool

I reached to David and he has another body. He will figure out pricing but it will be painted expertly by him and thinking price will be north of $250 but that’s a guess. I am not sure he is member here but he is on FB and pelican
