Now that i have my real rx8 , i am on the hunt for a radio controlled rx8 to compliment my new toy .

can anyone tell me where i could find a body for the rx8 radio controlled cars , theres none as yet here in australia but there may be some in japan or in united states of america, if you can assist id be fore ever grateful .

This toy would complement your real rx8 and its great fun to use .
Most of the bodies can come in clear this would enable you to colour coded to your real rx8, its much more fun than having a dye cast model of the car sitting on your desk

IMAGINE A MINNI ME VERSION OF THE RX8 ROARING DOWN YOUR STREET.

You could drive it about in front of the real this as sort of a scout come mascot :D

kev not a bad idea , however one hand on the gear one on the steering wheel , doesnt leave me much room for controlling the model rx8 HA HA HA .

BEWARE

Did you end up finding one L&L....cos I know Dad would love a new mini toy!!!!....not to mention I'd like to drive a mini version aswell

Beware
None available at this stage but model on its way , there already have a 350z out there so the rx8 cant be to far away , mean while you can get your dad a 1:18 cast die model from AUTOARTi am sure this will make him smile .
IS YOUR DADS RIDE A MANUAL??

Thanks to Beemer from Belgium for this info posted:

For all R/C fans: HPI has released 2 RX-8 body's.

ref.7388 - Mazda RX-8 Mazdaspeed A Spec Body (190mm/WB255mm)

Lock & Load

ref.7488 - Mazda RX-8 Mazdaspeed A Spec Body (200mm)

Lock & Load

The 190mm will fit most 1/10 electro with 190 mm width (like the hpi pro2/3/4 or xray 1/10 or... just check your manual or website of your model to verify the wheelbase and/or bodywidth.
The 200mm model is meant for the nitro models and also fit most models except models from serpent, picco,... because these 1/10's are much wider (235mm)

So they will fit the RTR's too, but they're not included when you buy an RTR. So just buy an extra body and paint.

Be sure when you order one, you use the Ref. number of the body you want. Because it's new and the dealers don't have this model in their catalogues yet.

it's now published on the American HPI website.

how much would it cost to put together one of these 1/10 RC's? (keep in mind I am excessive)

Lock & Load

Being totally excessive and getting near to the best available on the market $700 australian dollars The actual bodies only cost $25 to 30 dollars.

RX8 Bosies are on back order, ordered mine on friday. Going to get body first then decide on RC Car. Doing some online shopping. So far Souteastrc.com has some in stock and about $10.00 cheaper than my local hobby store.

Good way to experiment with paint schemes and body parts before you do it to the real thing.

Sorry,

Bosies should read bodies

souteastrc should read southeastrc.com

Should learn to proof read before I hit reply. Forgive me?!

I got this one for my bday yesterday...pretty cheap; it's either 'full gas' or 'full turn' (No progressive throttle, etc...)

I think the guy who got it for me picked it up at toysRus.
