WRC Fans, New Project: My Quest for the Perfect Rally Car
 

Using my Jammin' X1 as the base, I'm looking to make the perfect rally car. Offroad, onroad, and everything in between.

I'm a huge WRC fan, and I'd I'd love it if someone knew where I could get a 1/8 Subaru WRC body. Will the Kyosho Gt fit?

Any advise and input is appreciated.

I would LOVE your discarded, broken POS 1/8th or 1/7th scale onroad bodies that would just be thrown away so I can test fit. I'm already thinking custom shock towers.

Thanks.

Looking at the stats, I think this is the closest fit. The wheel base is only 7mm off, and while the width is 100mm to wide, that should be good as it will cover the tires. The length is 80mm larger but that is in the bumpers and the wheelbase is what matters.

What do ya'll think?

I've always loved the Kyosho Inferno GT's, just never had the money or reason to dump $350 or whatever it is into one. Still though, they look amazing, go for it!

Are you looking for an 1/8th scale wrx body? The Jammin X1 is an upped version of the hyper8 right? I'm a little behind as I havn't bought an 1/8th scale since my hyper7. Just got back into 1/10th scale brushless and I'm going to be here for a bit before I start converting my 1/8th scale nitro's.

I'm also a huge WRC fan and im always interested in a rc rally car, i was going to get the new ofna gtp rollerhttp://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXTCJ1&P=7, convert it and use a kyosho gt impreza body found here http://www.carttonic.com/catalog/ind...uid=466&gpoid=

No, I think you misunderstood dabid. I'm not buying an inferno gt, I'm fitting the body to my X1.

Dr Know: Yes, no, it's a different buggy www.jamminproducts.com, and tyler, THANK YOU FOR THE WEB SITE!!!! YEY!

No problem dude, i was gung ho about finding a rally car but the bodies were hard to locate then i found that site. i still wanna get one going...but i rather have an SR in my 240 first haha.

If you ever get a chance to go watcha WRC event, DO IT!! I have been to 3 of them now and I love it.

Nice, those sr's are freaking beastly.

You going for a drift setup or standard street setup?

I got to agree, I usally go to the winter one we have here in Sweden.
(Got a summer/vinter cottage close by a few of the stages.)

BTW didnt some Germany guy make a "rally" version of a pretty "blinged" E-Maxx ?
