I've had a 1/10 Kyosho 4wd BMW M3 (Nitro Powered). Went like stink. Still somewhere in the garage, really must try to find it and flash it up one day.
But I have a hankering to buy one of the HPI Nitro Kits at the moment, just trying to resist spending the money at the moment though.
More important things to pay for............. Like my new Cossie Engine.
Anyone got one of the latest HPI Nitro On Road Kits (Normally comes as M3 Bodied).......????

I've since bought a Parma WRC Escort shell for one of my nitro cars, but the quality is nothing compared to the Tamiya shells... It's just a shame the Tamiya shells are so brittle.

I bought Spiky the recently re-released WRC Escort Cosworth R/C car and kit for Xmas.
Im sure it's a Tamiya one, 1/10 scale with the Kankunnen / Repo decals. Looks the bollocks if I do say so myself. Ask him nicely and he might post some pictures of it (looks the bollox now its finished).

no it doesn't.....the focus is a TT-01 and the escort is a TA-01, the front bumper guard is too big as it catches the front of the escos and the rear mountin posts for the shell are too far forward because they come out of the roof on the focus and out of the back window of the escos ......................must admit, i thought that it would have fit but i just wanted an escos.
PS: do ya's think i should paint it as the repsol car or paint it up mallard green to match my car?????
