M-04m Based 1970's Bmw Group 5 Project With Many Hopups

[ChrisB]

SOLD!

My last (and imho best) RWD M-04M based project that is complete apart from paint and and ESC, and based on the car shown in the image above. This has been built from brand new parts and never run. The bodyshell was discontinued by Carson a couple of years ago which is a shame as it is a very scale looking version of one of the greatest late 70's / early 80's BMW touring cars.

I wanted to use a RWD chassis for realism and this chassis is the result. It is a new Tamiya M-04M chassis with some extra chassis spacers, TL-01 suspension arms and upgraded mini CVA oil filled dampers. The wider rear wheel track has been achieved by using a full set of new Taisan Porsche split rim wheels and new tyres (very similar to the BBS wheels used on the BMW's of the same era).

For full details on the build see my showroom entry here

Please note auction price includes insured shipping within the UK. If you can collect I am willing to automatically deduct the shipping costs from that price (approx 14 GBP).

Also note its a best offer auction so feel free to "make me an offer" . Sorry not looking to trade as am no longer really involved with RC and need the cash if I'm brutally honest - other hobbies are now draining my bank account as fast as my Tamiya addiction did!!

Also have most of the rest of my showroom going on ebay shortly including a lot of vintage spares. Feel free to ask any questions, but please take the time to read the auction description first as I put a lot of time and effort into it and it might answer your question

Thanks for reading.
