Been away for a while doing other things, i am back enjoying the hobby again.
Got this as a birthday present of the wife.
Capri's have always had a place in my heart and when tamiya released this i had to have one.
Never had a racing chassis before and i am very pleased with it.
The only things i have done are ball bearing and brushless set-up
Applying all the decals took longer than building the chassis but it was well worth it.

Looks very nice and true to the real deal with those 2 different offset wheels. AND you got the first one posted on TC. Congrats.

Forgot to ask if the wing really was an extra purchase as alluded to by the Tamiya instructions??

That thing looks amazing. I've got my fingers crossed for a standard road going version.

Great reason to get a pint, unless you fancy Jagermeister that is.

Cheers Mr Bee. the body posts are great as a roll bar for the moment not that i am a bad driver, just that with the combination of brushless/lipo power and slick tyres needs alot of thinking ahead!!!

More of a Jack Daniels man, the reason i went for the Jagermeister version is the wife is German plus i think it looks alot better than the Zakspeed one.

She sure is RallyeBaz, alot of work needs to put into the body, alot of masking off, then a month to apply the decals lol
