Since I can't drive my big baby, I've discovered that the Mazdaspeed 6 is the only car I've ever owned that has a R/C car body. I've been into R/C since the early '90s. and have several to choose from (all older, late '90s early '00). I think I'll use the last chassis I bought, Tamiya TA-05, it came with an NSX body but I'm not a Honda fan. :happydance: Not as fast, easier to work on, and I'll be doing it alot longer. I'll post pics as I progress.

Seriously! I'm so jealous. I keep saying I want a MS3 shell for a RC car, but there are none to be had :(

Yes to pictures! :D

My total collection is a Tamiya TA-03 (Skyline shell), a Tamiya TA-05 (NSX soon to be MS6), a Traxxas Stampede, and a Tamiya Bruiser. I had a Associated RC10 w/carbon fiber chassis that was converted to a truck - RPM suspension arms, MIP trans, titaniom links (left it at a girlfriends house).

Again thanks for the support guys - nice to know I'm not the only Geek in the squad.

I've contacted Tamiya USA about whether they have considered making an MS3- perhaps on their M-05 chassis. they like the idea, and are forwarding to Japan for approval.

I'M OFFENDED!
If Tamiya got an ms3 chassis, I would replicate my car. Instantly. Except it wouldn't be fail wheel drive.

Pics as promised

Well, It certainly took long enough, but I finally got my MS6 R/C body. I went to a local hobbie shop two weeks ago and ordered it, I like to support the local shops because I know what is was like when we had none in Roch. Went in and ordered, the said it would be in the next Monday and he would be willing to deliver. Well, after a week and a half, I ordered through Tower Hobbies, Put a rush on it and it arrived today.

You all know that My plan was to recreate my full size car, and my old race sceme was Candy Red w/ Gold base and Outlaw Black Metalic. So I had no grey, platinum, Charcoal or such. Went to another local shop that had 5 color selections none that I needed. Bought a Dodge Charger (new model) touring car body for $10 and a 4000mAh battery and left to go back to the other shop. I walk in and start looking at paint, I wasn't going to mention the body that I had ordered and never heard from, and the shop owner notices me and says that it's in. I explained that that was 2 weeks ago and that I had ordered from another and didn't need that one. He threw a fit in the store, in front of other customers, and to try and get out with some dignity I baught the second body and will probably paint it my old race colors.

I promised pics and here are what I have:
