This is about the only kind of S2k I can afford to buy and hook up right now, I figured I would post it here to see how you S2k guys like it. Man if I could only drive it!!!

 

pretty good, thats a huge TACH

 

nice jdm plates

 

at first glimpse i thought it was real! Great photography

 

Thanks alot, this is one of my favorite models I've built so far and the pics did not turn out half bad either.

 

did u use the base of the tamiya s2000 model kit?

You got it! I also used Volk wheels from the JGTC racing NSX for the front but had to narrow the rears and use lower profile tires along with widening the fenders for them to fit.

 

Not bad. Since its a Tamiya, I assume it drives?

??? I am not small enough to fit in it yet but my "shrink-a-ray" is not quite ready and I have not yet mastered an ignition system that won't melt the plastic motor????

 

take the tach off and put a hardtop on it..

 

I have a Tamiya TA-03 chassis with a R32 GTR body, and an HPI RS4 with the S body, both radio controlled. That's what I meant..

me too!

tamiya makes regular model cars too

 

I know of the regular models, Tamiya is OG, but I wasn't going to put anything together if it didn't run.

I was hoping that S ^^^^^ was a running model. That would ice the cake.

Damn, no doubt that would be hot, I was not aware that Tamiya made R/C cars.

 

One of their kits.

 

Sweet, how much they run$$ ??

 

$270 without radio gear, motor, speed control, battery. A whole complete running kit is about 400-500.

 

Yeah that's what I figured, that's pretty much the reason I do not have one.

 

They're really educational actually. I learned lines, suspension tuning ont hose little things. Race grids are really competitive, especially in Stock class, where motors, tires, batteries are all standardized.
