I have been busy with my other hobbies of late but still slowly working on finishing some projects. I had an Alfa Romeo M06 kit but since I already have an M04 one I went looking for a different rear drive M size body to use instead and this Datsun 510 is just what I like, its boxy simple and just the style I like. Went with an Orange Black look with flat clear coat. Scollins interior and I dechromed the parts except for the exahust. Powered by a 35t motor with some TRF shocks, bearings and fitted some cheap unknown electrics I pulled out of a used car I bought awhile back. The body had a few little shipping dents so I just did it up for a fun runner when the snow melts. I just love rear drive RC car road cars ;)
If you liked those pictures, you should see these...
Another Alfa future project

Funracer
That's simply awesome!! How did you paint the door lines?
Skottoman
Looks really great! The orange seems to be one of your fav colors, this reminds me of a Datsun version of your orange Hilux! I have one of these Cup Racer kits NIB that I will get to someday... and I agree, this shell has a great boxy shape that is hard not to like!

Cool looking car!!!

Thanks guys. @funracer I use an Ultra fine point black Sharpie permanent marker for door lines, cheap and easy and if you mess up rubbing alcohol removes it to try again

Nice Datsun 510 Seth! I remember clinging for my life in one of my mates 510 with fully decked out SR20 conversion with 410bhp, 5sp gearbox, Silvia front strut and custom rear modified axle to handle the new power! Lols I like the extended front air dam, it pays a faithful homage. Did it come with it or you customised it? Cheers

Cool looking car Seth, sometimes i see a car like that when i drive everyday on the road.
Sometime i see it by one of our local farmers, but its mostly from his sons.

looks perfect!

I really like this Datsun 510 body. I have one like it on an M05 in my showroom. MO6 is even better as I'm sure the original Datsun is RWD. Also BTW, I noticed in the 6th picture, the servo saver ball should be mounted below (opposite to what you have). I believe the manual is wrong.

Great job Seth! the 510 body has been on my wish list for a long time but I haven't got around to it I love your talent for scale stuff!!

Just returning to RC models after decades of going AWOL and enjoying browsing models like this one. Wonderful.
