Kinwald/Worlds Car replica
Kinwald/Worlds Car replica
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!
Enjoy!

Re: Kinwald/Worlds Car replica
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.

Re: Kinwald/Worlds Car replica
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 did run my fast lap in the race only .1 slower than the previously mentioned past World Champion. wOOt!

Re: Kinwald/Worlds Car replica
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.

Re: Kinwald/Worlds Car replica
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

Re: Kinwald/Worlds Car replica
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
