Your bestest rc car

Post by tizeye »

How about we all post a pic of our favorite RC car (that we own now) I know that most of us are pretty proud of our cars and I guess we all have cars that are special..it might be it's age, it's rarity, it's modifications...who knows..but I bet we've all got one. So guys lets see what you've got...I'll show you mine :lol:

This might not be the ideal section to post in so Mods feel free to shift this thread if you don't agree with it's location...

Whoa that's looks like an old race car I had. I raced a 79 scirocco and a 80' rabbit gti. the gti was yellow and the scirocco green. I love that body. That is awesome. I have never seen one before. Where can you get them. wait, is it a vintage thing you can't get anymore?

Yes it is vintage. Not made anymore. Thank godness..
( Hopefully tamiya won't see this thread and decide to re-issue it )
I race on/off-road profesionally 1/10 and 1/8th scale gas cars/buggies.
But I love vintage.
Here's another 1/12th scale in the works. RC12 Team Associated

Ok it's hard to tell by the pic but is that a fox body mustang racer or a mustang ii racer? Or maybe an iroc camaro racer.
Do you race rc's proffesionally or 1:1 cars?
