Scale FR-S
I have been into RC cars for decades. Used to work for RC Car Action magazine in the 90's, but fell out of it after having kids etc. Well after getting my new latest TOY, (the FR-S) I started thinking about RC cars again. I picked up a new HPI sedan at my local hobby shop but they didn't have the one with the FR-S body. I found the Tamiya body on eBay and bought that knowing the detail and quality would be great. A light mist of pearl, then white, some black details and bunch of decals later and I'm done.

Nice man I posted my RC a while ago in off topic, guessing you bought the Tamiya kit? I just bought the Tamiya body and put it on my Team Associated TC6.1...I've got more than a few goodies on it too
 (Oops just read you got the HPI!)

Yeah, I thought it would be neat too until I googled Tamiya and saw the prices. Ouch!

The car kit was a little over 200 ready to run. The Tamiya body was about $50. But You can pick one up by HPI RTR for similar money.
