*****el Rotary Powered Mclaren!
This a kyosho superten FW04 with a Form Racing FW03 3 speed conversion and a *****el Rotary engine for power. I have seen beautiful models out of Japan using custom made *****el conversions and I decided to try and build one of my own. I had to make the exhaust manifold and rotate the carb almost 90 degrees to clear the rear tire. The engine mount is also custom made. I had to remove one fin via a dremel tool to clear the center rear drive shaft. The chassis also has most of the standard options for this car such as shocks, carbon upperdeck, stabilizers, viscous front coupler, etc. I still need to build the custom fan and maybe shroud to help cool the engine and also I will probably paint the wheels orange as well.
This one of my two favourite supertens!

Wow! I have to admit the Shell and Chassis jst looks fantastic. The lights are amazing and look real..not some stickers that you stick to look like lights. This is a very rare car these days. Great work Pal

A simply stunning model! I didn't realise you could purchase such small rotary engines for model use.... any idea on how they compare performance wise? I've just also spotted the fourstroke superten that you have, I really like the idea of the 4stroke sound in a model R/C car - very cool!

Work of art my superten friend.
Absolutely stunning and you know I'm not just talking about the body. I know you don't run it, but if you did I bet you would be happy you opted for a three speed tranny.
