Honey I shrunk my Porsche 959!" FINISHED!

[Hottwheels]

I'm a big fan of the Tamiya Porsche 959 but I love it even more when it's smaller than Tamiya one, so let's shrink the sucker :-)

Starting with a Xray m18, make it shorter with new carbon chassis plate (wheelbase 140mm).Adding ***** 959 body and nicely printed decals.

That should turn out sweet. looking forward to seeing it completed

[NWarty]

Wow! That's going to be super cool

[InsaneJim69]

That looks fantastic already!!

So hit the "Like This" as well.

Like it. What is the scale?

[matman]

I may have too do this as well , I have the Xray M18 pro .

So this may have to have the 959 body on it .

Great idea hottwheels & welcome to TC .

Thanks folks for all nice reactions, starting with less nicer works, masking.

What I did was sticking the side stripes decals on to protecting foil of the lexan body to know where the white and the blue colors comes together, makes masking a bit easier. Not to worry, I can re-use the decals later, they are so tough it shouldn't be a problem.

Blue applied.

@Tamiya1/10: It's 1/18 scale.

@matman: Go for it mate but this body only fits on a 140mm wheelbase, I believe the pro is 150mm.

[Hottwheels]

Well, it's such a "large" body so it's finished all ready lol.

Final round:

Aaaahhhhh, sexy

Size does matter...

It's all in the family...

Here's some thoughts on the TGB Porsche 959 1/18 lexan body; I am very happy that they make them this size, it's not 959 rally looks but actually it's a copy of the "normal" 959. But with the excellent decals from mci_racing they make a great combination so many thanks to TGB and *******!

That all said, this one is for bashing, already have ordered new body for shelf queen. Thanks for watching and enjoy my beauty shot.

Cheers.

Very nice, you make the 959 paint job look a piece of cake!

That Carisma 1/8 looks massive sat next to the other two!

[JennyMo]

I think the 959 has to be one of the prettiest and most perfectly proportioned cars of all time...

There is only one thing more awesome than this collection, and that would be a 1:1 version ;o)

Ok , thanks . Where did you get the chassis from ?.

[Tamiya1/10]

To complete the family, get the 1/43 and if possible 1/64 scale diecast.

I know diecaste are static, but you don't except baby and new born can move around.

It looks fantastic and a lot of fun! Hoping to see it run sometime

It's hard to find one of these short carbon chassis,Xray m18 is old now. I've Google and surf on eBay and was lucky enough to get one at a local rc club, so good luck to you finding one mate.
