i'm sure theres more than a couple of you with r/c roadsters....post em up

here's mine. proudly built ~1996 hence the paint chipping + tamiya aluminum wheels

tamiya produced a second run of miata kits so get'em while you can

i kno its dusty, sorry--i'm lazy

I have the same kit - painted and just waiting on doing a few more things. Are those wheels new from Tamiya?

 

[geffrocks_86]

the set is old, bought back in '95--they've never touched asphalt, they're just to pretty

but you can find some on ebay along with others, be ready to break bread:

r/c cars are fun, fun, fun, but i'd rather spend $ on the real thing

thats cool
so that is a radio controlled car?

 

[geffrocks_86]

yup! lots of fun. popular manufacturers include tamiya, kyosho, hpi - look em up

 

[clshrckr]

damn that sounds awesome
im going to look into getting a miata

 

[geffrocks_86]

want a miata? click here:

you'll still need to purchase a radio, battery, and charger since the above mentioned only includes the kit....

when it comes to body mold and scale, tamiya is notch imo

i've always wanted one of those miatas
i just dont want to spend the money becasue i have a HPI sprint just laying around in my room.. i never touch it.

 

[clshrckr]

bitcharg or something lol
i got it a long long time ago

 

[Dustinlib]

I've got a Mini-Z and 5 xmods, as well as lots of spare bodies and 1/24 scale models. that was my hobby a couple of winters ago before I got my car, now it gets most of the available fun funds.

Ok - just to give you guys an idea of how inflation and collectors out there are willing to pay:

1) I bought this in 1984 for $79.95

And my favorite was Wild Willy - which is extremely rare - but $600!?!? Holy cow!
