While on a recent trip to Tokyo, I picked up this Speedway Pal 1/10th scale RC RX-8 body kit. It replicates the Super Autobacs R-Magic wide body kit RX-8, complete with the vented R-Magic hood.

Some of you may have seen the SAB "Super Street" RX-8 featured in the magazine of the same name last year. For those who missed it, here's a pic of the real car.



Followed by pics of my 1/10th RC car version.

 

One more pic of the real car...

 

frickin' sweet! how in the world did you find that ?!?!

 

Well done hachi! Looks sweet!

 

Hahaha I saw the very first picture and I was about to say...
"DANG that is one sweet RC model. Looks so real!!"
...... Until I scrolled down...

STILL! That's pretty sweet. I'd like one too

 

^hahaha so i'm not the only one who did that :p

 

love that widebody

 

Pretty cool man! I'd be thinking about painting it.

 

sexinessss

 

Thanks for the comments guys. I don't know if this kit can be easily found in the US or not, I haven't seen it anyway. But if you happen to visit Tokyo, just go to Akihabara (electronic district), there are a couple of RC hobby shops that have it.

For those really interested, here's the website on Speed Way Pal's RC bodies:

I just noticed that the real R-Magic wide body kit is selling on ebay for over $7K.
