Ok guys I am new here. I have been in R/C since I was 11 years old and I am 43 now. My first car was a Radio Shack Golden Arrow. I could not afford a RC10. Many grass cuttings later I had a Clod Buster. The rest is history.
So I have started 2 new projects, a Halsey Build, and a Nix 91. I have been wanting a replica of Masami's 91 stealth car since I first seen it in Car Action magazine. My Halsey build is almost done and I am just starting on my 91 nix.
Any advice on where to get the rare stuff would be much appreciated. Like tires and wheels and, someone to paint the body.

Re: Masami 91 Stealth build
to build a masami replica is going to take a unique set of very hard to find parts, if you want to build it authentically.
off the cuff, you need:
TH-1 yokomo wheel adapters
yokomo wheels
copper yokomo springs
yokomo white rod ends
yokomo white spring preload clips
the easiest of the parts above are either real th1 adapters or some replicas (there are a couple out there). they show up pretty much the most common of the parts.
shapeways for the preload clips and rear wheels not as strong and also very white(if you are already using nix parts, just add them to the coloring process)
you could approximate the rod ends with white rc10 shock ends
copper springs would be the toughest.....it is possible to copper plate at home, though i don't know if anyone has done it and note sure how close it would match.\
painted body-- there are painters out there that will do it, if you are good with black and green, mci makes decals I believe to replicate the paint job.
