Need help finding a car

[Dafni]

A guy here wants me to build an onroad car. It has to resemble his BMW M3, with custom paint job and everything.
He wants an onroad car that can handle a bit of dirt :032: :032: Some kind of Rally car maybe. I was looking at the HPI Rally RS4, but apparently it is discontinued.

Any suggestions??

Thank you
Daf

Get Tamiya's TL01 chassis with a BMW M3 body. Check out with HPI, Tamiya and others for a M3 body.

Will this TL01 handle a rally course? Or is it strictly carpet/tarmac?

[captain harlock]

No, it can be used for on road, off road tracks. It isn't a high end chassis, but good for beginners.

If you need something more sophisticated, a TC3 with it's Rally conversion suspension system would do, but I don't know if it's still available at LHSs. If you contact AE themselves, they'll surely help you.

Thank you! I will check this out.

daf, get a inferno gt, its 8th scale, HUGE! u can get a beemer body, its got more then enuf groung clearence to off road, and its the hands down best drifer nitro, thats the way i drove one, but there def really fun!

from kyosho, bout 300 bucks

[captain harlock]

Yeah, that's right. I believe it also has a BMW body with it. It'll cost a bit of mony if you'll make it electric, though.

I nearly did the BMW Inferno GT instead of my scale 1/8 buggy project they look real nice, but you have to pay for all the nitro stuff included:026: :020: :035: .

There is an Inferno GT only forum out there somwhere with a brushless section.

I would think a Losi XXX-S might be a good candidate because of the enclosed drivetrain.
