My new build, the Datsun 240z Rally version. Great car to build. Very time consuming as the body is no picnic but worth the effort. I have it lighted with a great set put together for me from rclighthouse.com. great affordable lighting and these folks are great to deal with. This really is a great looking car. I had a Tamiya dirt tuned motor in it and...well...I had to move up to a Novak Brushless..this thing moves!, its a blast to drive..it was a tight fit but worth it. One of the pics, I have the hood masked off with a Japanese news paper I had as packing, I'm not sure which publication..I found that very appropriate. Enjoy the pics!

Hey, thanks a lot..for some reason this model was taxing on my patience..I still loved building it though...have that post build depression again..its a sickness..lol..hmmm..whats next?
mr alan
That looks great! Awesome car.
mr. Rallying
That's a nice classic!

Very nice job detailing that old Datsun.
But... seriously... Running it easy? Get a hold of an extra shell, without all those great lights and stuff, along with a slipper clutch and a eZrun 4300 kv brushless system, and use this baby like it´s supposed to be used..
It is VERY fun indeed, i can promise you.
Cheers..

Beautiful car. Looks as nice as the HPI 240Z. Tires look a lot like 959 tires - wonder if they fit? Nice work.
CASE1
Thats stunning! Are the bumpers standard? It is looking very cool, I like the dirt too.
Tyboart
Yes Case1, bumpers all standard stuff, Tamiya body. I wish it had real wiper blades. I didn't put on the decal wiper blades..lol..I hate decal wiper blades...its a thing, you know.

Brilliant! Thanks for your comment in my showroom, this is very nicely done and I may switch up my Celica to a dirt tuned motor. Not quite ready to see a brushless in it!
