These are all great choices for low profile bodies! In my opinion, the TC01 chassis is perfect for sports prototype bodies like the Porsche GT1-98, Toyota GT-one, Audi r8 or even a Porsche 962. All these bodies were previously available from Tamiya but only for pan car chassis so the dimensions would need to be reworked for the TC01

To me, this is a static model of an RC car....I have a lot of shelf queens, but I CHOOSE not to run them. With this you really have no choice but to put it on the shelf. It is cool but I'll stick with my RC10 classic and Worlds.

Also glad to see the lower profile cage!

So for Kyosho's 60th anniversary, they're releasing a replica of a 36 year old prototype car...Sign me up! Joel was a 1/12 scale specialist so he was surprised to win a world championship in 1/10 off road.

That makes the most sense to me since the motor is in the right place and compatible TL01 parts are still in production.

Any of the older air cooled models is fine with me. Noisy, hot, bad ergonomics...to this day my left clutch leg is way stronger than my right leg... A real car for sure! I had one from the mid 70's and another from the mid 80's I did a 911RSR project a few years back. It doesn't hold a candle to yours in complexity and I had to shelve it for a big move. I am howerver quite proud of my Fuch wheels. It's 2wd with a backwards one way in the front diff to provide four wheel braking.

As a 911 nut, I'm blown away by this project! The best complement I can give you is that it looks like a finished production kit!

IIRC I bought some standard F104 parts (plastic trees) as well as hop up parts. This was three years ago. It probably goes without saying that you should provide part numbers to make things easier to find.

It looks incredibly slick...well done!

If I read the description correctly, it comes with low friction shocks and cardan joint driveshafts (?) so it seems to be a very nice spec!

Doesn't look too bad at all!

Yes..that's much better!

Terra Scorchers are sweet.

The only thing holding me back on the TD4 is the body. The chassis itself has all the components neatly packaged and looks like it goes together in that quirky (to borrow a term from you guys) Tamiya way that we all love. The body is an ill proportioned, fat bar of soap with the driver sitting so low, there's no way for him to see out! LOL I know it's just a model but that's whats keeping me from getting this awesome car.

As many as the number of licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop.....and if you get that reference, you're old like me!
