cbudvet Posted April 19, 2009 Share #2 Posted April 19, 2009 They are nice looking but pretty expensive. I have seen these on ebay for about 200 dollars. Thats without the motor, receiver, servos, etc. You have to be pretty serious to drop that kind of money. I've also seen a BRE model by a different maker that looks pretty sweet as well.

bigoak Posted April 19, 2009 Share #3 Posted April 19, 2009 The BRE model is available at Pete Brock's site:http://www.bre2.net/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=B&Product_Code=breabc_240z_46_model&Category_Code=models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doradox Posted April 19, 2009 Share #4 Posted April 19, 2009 That's pretty cool. I used to race 12th scale electrics and easily had $500 in my car. 25 years ago. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted April 19, 2009 Share #5 Posted April 19, 2009 It's interesting that the RC model Mike linked to in the first post has the ARE LeMans Wheels and yet the BRE edition doesn't. It has ARE Libre wheels, which are not correct for the car.-Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share #6 Posted April 19, 2009 I can't really comment on the quality of the RC chassis itself; my buddy, who's serious about RC racing, claimed that it's more of an entry level car. I just thought that the body itself was nicely detailed and realistic. The BRE car also looks very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomoHawk Posted April 19, 2009 Share #7 Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) I didn't know Zs were 4-wheel drive.... so it's really not a scale model.The body clips really stick out, and it's too bad you can't use something that look like hood safety clips instead. I might get it if it was 2-wheel drive and had a 280Z body Edited April 20, 2009 by TomoHawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oiluj Posted April 20, 2009 Share #8 Posted April 20, 2009 Looks pretty darn nice to me!Will have to see if I can see one in-person... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conedodger Posted April 20, 2009 Share #9 Posted April 20, 2009 I have a 914 that is painted to match my real 914 right down to my reserved autocross #'s and my sponsor windshield banner. I suppose I have a couple hundred in just that body. Can be expensive for sure... Not that the real sport isn't! I just blew a $15K engine on Saturday at Infinion. Catastrophic block breaking boom!

TomoHawk Posted May 7, 2009 Share #11 Posted May 7, 2009 I am starting to wonder about getting one of these because it is a 4-wheel-drive model, but more because the LHS frankly can't get any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
