Unless you have a milling machine in your garage, that car would take a long time to replicate by hand. The accuracy of the components in that car has to be maintained to a high standard, so that 4hp doesn't shread the drivetrain and suspension.

the brake runs on the same servo as the trottle so u only need a two channel iv been experimenting on a hydraulic disc caliper for it but with no success so far. my nitro car just runs a cam style mechanical disc with will lock up the wheel with ease if set up well.

it was heaps of work but it was my first time welding its made from 15mm square mild steel tubing the drive is a timming chain and gears from a honda c50. parts were fairly cheap prob a total cost of around $280 with the shell being the most expensive part ($80) i think that tamiya do not make these shells or wheels anymore wich would make it difficult to make

I bought a full set of those rims a couple of weeks ago for a 1/10 car.
Finding the tyres is the issue. GV make some, but at $30 a pair, I'll look around.

lol, not quite a booster ... cos there's no reverse like on an electric, they're set up with a disk brake on the driveshaft, pulling back on the throttle servo pushes the brake on, forward pushes the carb open

Correction, the next might look like mutant (also in production).
This teal green car is paint and component testing (like the chrome, I hadn't used it before).
It also houses a sound system and neons, just haven't been bothered to finish putting them in.

I'm also looking into producing a couple of Clubman style mini shells, out of polycarbonate too. This may take a while though.

Mines for sale.
Not a mini tho.

I haven't bought anything yet, but, yes. If I do get some, I can paint them.
There may be colour limits, like no more than 2 or 3, because paint can get expensive.

I was thinking of just using 1 or 2 colours (roof and body).... but thought you would be doing only CERTAIN colours.....
