Kinwald/Worlds Car replica

[hkp]

I have been looking at my Hot Bodies Stealth Fighter for ages now wondering what do with the shell.. Seeing as it's so close to a RCPS mirage I guessed it would make a nice Kinwald replica. I can hear the crack of purist pipes falling on the floor right now, but you know me, I like to do things a little different just to shake things up!!

Enjoy!

I like it! Nice job.


The only purist thing I would frown on is the fact that you used/wasted the TURBO MIRAGE decals on a body that's not even a Mirage.

Awesome paint job Tom, I dig it!

Fair comment.. i do have a few spare decals luckily I hated to see them all in my drawer with no chance of ever having a Turbo Mirage to stick them on!

Just when you think that is when you will come across a Turbo Mirage. Been there, done that.

Great paint job!!!

kinwald is going to be at my local track for a race later in Jan. Interested in a sig?

Might be able to pull something off for you. Nice job BTW.

That looks great! I have always loved that paint theme. I thought about putting that theme on one of my trucks, even though it would be completely incorrect from a collectors stand-point. Nice job!

Hehe, I was running a experimental Trans Am class today at the warm-up race for the Novak TC race this weekend at Trackside, and after Barry Baker qualified someone else's car in the first heat of T/A, and I made the A-main, I got up on the driver's stand next to another "fill-in" driver.


The worst thing I have ever heard while racing R/C cars is:

"Doug Carter, in 4th place and moving through the field, with past World Champion Brian Kinwald right on his back bumper."







Let's just say that I didn't hold him off very long. I think my hands are still shaking.

I did run my fast lap in the race only .1 slower than the previously mentioned past World Champion. wOOt!

that's funny.............................. the worst thing.

[Eau Rouge]

Yeah, my buddies were standing by the driver's stand in the main yelling, "Doug, don't look behind you..."



It didn't work.

Goddamit Doug... you were right.. I go and win a car with a Mirage on it this week!!

p.s. check out the Fibre Lyte Tub... mmmm

Tom's latest snipe

[ra272]

I'm sorry for you, this item is misdiscribed: it's not a B4

If you want I can trade it with you for a nice used B4.

Seriously: really nice snipe.

[hkp]

Yup! The guy assures me there is no wear on it too. I guess we'll see when it arrives.

I have ordered the full Fibrelyte kit for it too to make a 100% carbon car - Can't wait

[Asso_man!]

That's one of the best steal I've ever seen here, 77£ for a mint and complete carbon fibre tub, a very nice Mirage body and all the hardware, that's amazing Tom! I would also add that after mine, it's the second time only I see a Fibre-Lyte chassis with this weave pattern. Mine is a COMCOM and I wonder what are the differences with a Fibre Lyte, so PLEASE when you get it torn apart, post pics of the chassis alone
