Hi Gang Chasing a Tamiya 1/10th Scale Mini Cooper Rover prefered

All ready to go would be great, after one for my young fella as a reward for being a good lad not really keen on him using my new one and he would love one so after a second hand jobby for him

Also, I am after someone good with the painting skills to paint one up the same as our cars, who can I speak too or call

Thanks
Monte

It may also be worth joining an rc forum, like ausrc

I got a new m05 from hongkong off ebay, for $180
It was just missing all the electrics apart from the speed controler and the motor.
It came with a rover monte carlo body that is really detailed

lol mine is from 1998, i bought it just before we bought our car, the remote car cost me more then the actual car, i got it running and bought a spare shell, 13 years later, cleaning man cave out i came across the box, its a Rover Mini Cooper Green/white car on it, fired up the battery on a quick charge threw in some fresh AA's and away it goes 8.20pm in the street with no lights son and I were happy as pig in crap, so tomoz were out there from sun up hahaha

wow great to share a passion along with big cars

Yer, i wona build a clubby body like mine but that should take some time and skill

i have mates in europe who make them i can chase it up if you like, they do vans, pick ups and estates too

If I was in your shoes, I'd buy this:

For that price delivered, with full electrics and battery, its a bargain, but a tamiya mini body will fit right on it with no modifications.
Drive with the Alfa shell, the mini body can be for show.

Wow, i might buy that to rip electrics off
