Default Anyone interested in 1/10th r/c Cosworth shells?

As above really!
I have found someone who is remaking the very rare Kyosho RS500 one that came out around 1991.
He is also considering making a Saph Cossie one too depending on how well the RS500 sells, or depending on demand.
I have told him I am posting on here to see what sort of interest there is.

This is a 1/12th one that he did for Mardave cars, the Kyosho one is better IMO (I used to have one when they came out)



Please put your name down (cut & paste list) if you are interested and state which one(s) you would buy.

hi mate, i am interested in the RS500, i have the EsCos but an RS500 would be cool as well, If he is doing one in 1/10 scale, then let me know how much, is there holes in it for mounting or can he do it without so i can fit it myself?

cheers

I would guess they are done without any holes so they can be used on a wide range of chassis

No idea yet to be honest, but the stuff he does at the mo varies between 10-35 quid or so.

These are some of his others:







Loads of others and the auctions to buy the ones above at:

    That actually looks pretty sweet Martyn, IIRC I bought my RC off Steviecossie off here, don't for some reason think mine is 1/10th

    Where can I get that from, direct from Tamiya?

    Toppy, could you give us the measurements from the outside of the arches across the car, and from the middle of them front to back?
