1/10 Tamiya/ Kyosho etc thirdgen
Hi guys. I'm well into my RC cars (mainly the 80's stuff) and I was wondering if Parma or anyone similar made a Thridgen body so that I alter the appearance of my Kyosho Mantis Nitro car. I guess 1/10 IROC wheels would be asking for too much?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Felix

I am into platic models and there were several kits made of thirdgens that may be of some use. I know MPC and Revell/Monogram both made 1/16th scale Firebirds and Camaro's for 1983 (Trans Am, Firebird SE) and 1987 R/M Iroc and GTA. R/M also made a 1/8th scale Iroc for 1987 which may be closer to the scale that you are looking for especially for the Iroc wheels. You can usually find these kits on E-bay but they do get somewhat pricey at times. Here is one for a 1/16 MPC Firebird: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...&category=2582
If you start your search from here and use 1/16, 1/8 and just look throught the auctions you may find something helpful:http://listings.ebay.com/pool3/listi...x.html?from=R0
I hope this helps some,
Robyn

I have a SuperNitro RS4 gas car. I have a link somewhere to a company that makes a 3rdgen body for a RC car. I'll have to find it again and link you to it.
as for modles check this one out and tell me what you think.
Its a 1/8th Scale I got at a local Hobbie shop. I added the lights myself. Price was $75bucks more pic's can be seen here http://www.cecoatings.com/images/one8thscale

The closest I've ever had was a 3rd gen Firebird Outlaw wedge body. I don't have any pics of it since it was 1985 or so when I had it. The body was by Bolink IIRC, but I haven't been able to find anything on the web for pics or part numbers if they still make it. The chassis was a Turbo Optima Mid Special (lengthened chassis), which I just completed a restoration on (minus the front A-arm which I prmoptly broke the first time out after putting the car back together). Now I get to watch Ebay for parts until I find something... I would love to have another third gen body for it too!

I know Bolink made some IROC bodies a while ago that looked OK, but they've since gone out of business. I've been big into the R/C for 5 years now. Mainly electric touring cars:
Tamiya TA03 RS Porsche
Yokomo Mr4 TC SP <-------the fast one
RC10 GT Team Nitro Truck <------The beater
Losi XX4 Worlds 4wd buggy <-----the off road racer
Kyosho Mini-Z
T-Maxx.......indestructable!!!

If i were you i'd go to a store and pick up a few R/C magazines......read through them, see what other cars/trucks there are avalable, if you can find someone with one already, ask if maybe you could give it a quick run up and down the street to see how ya like whatever they have......thats how i got mine....my cousin let me drive his nitro buggy for a few minutes, i liked it, but it was probably too fast for what i could handle at the time and all i wanted to do was floor it. Plus it wasnt too great in the tall grass, so i decided i needed a truck not a buggy or car.
The nitro stampede is a decent monster truck, but if you've got the funds, i'd go with a T-Maxx to start with...just my opinion. If your gonna be racing it at the track and stuff go with the car by all means....but for just playing around with at home up and down the street i think a truck is a better option

RC-10T is a good electric starter RC car, has all the mods like adjustable shocks and upgradable everything, and they arn't too expensive. One thing though, you probably don't want a gas model as your first RC car because they can be really frustrating at times.

yes, the RC10GT is probably the best one to get if you want a stadium truck (not a monster truck cause its not meant for like super off road stuff....)
tons of upgrades, inexpensive, etc.
that was what i was origionally going to get but for like 2 bucks more i could get the monster truck that the salesman at the store insisted would be better.....so the moral of the story-stand your ground. unless he can PROVE that it is a better one, stick with what you plan on getting.

TPI383, thats an awesome model. do you know of anyplace online where you can get that? it would look great on my desk
i remember when i was 6yrs old i had a little model of a black firebird. (from knightrider i think). i played with that thing until the wheels fell off. i guess the thirdgen addiction started early in me

Yeah thats the trouble I have always had Looking into these things. I don't know if I want a car or truck. I do have a lot of flat smooth empty parking lots around me so thats a plus for a car but a truck seems like it would be more fun in the yard to play around with. The T-maxx looks like a nice truck like U said. And from what I have read so far seems like a decent truck to start with, lots of upgrades available for the future.

Trucks are good for playing around with and beating up on. It's fun seeing how far and high you can launch a T-Maxx Nothing beats racing the 4wd touring cars competitively though.
The Mini-Z's are real fun. It's nice when it's raining outside to get a couple guys together and race them on a pool table. I'm getting rid of mine, if you want it lemme know.

If you arent gonna be in the sport competitvly, get a T-Maxx. Not only can you go offroad and have tons of fun like that, if you and your friends want to race around a track or whatever, i've seen many a monster truck, t-maxx specificly, modified for street...low suspension, nice street low profile tires....
Oh how i wish i had gotten a T-Maxx or an RC10GT instead of this cursed Stampede. As soon as i get a job i'm selling the 'pede and if i have enough money to spend, i'll get a tmaxx and mod the hell outa it.
The nitro stampede is a great truck and all, with the carb set right, you'll be bustin wheelies whenever ya want to...completly stock.....get some low profile street tires on there and lemme tell ya it will tear them up.....i tried that on mine and by the end of the day, literally, the tires were falling apart.
If ya plan on keepin the truck stock, want something that is simple yet effective, the nitro stampede will do that. but if you want to modify it even the slightest bit, good luck finding parts for it. you'll have to modify other parts to fit it. Also, no matter what you get, KEEP IT AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE!
i rode mine around even just a few times offroad and like on the street in the little sand piles along the road from last winter, i've rebuilt the truck at least 2 times since then and its still dirty.....
Oh man i need a job to get that thing running good. lol
as for the micro R/C's, before i got the nitro that was my big thing. super fun, posibilities are endless with those badboys. i've talked to people who have functional headlights and tail lights, police light bars, monster trucks, dual energy cells for more speed/longer run times....custom bodies...you name it.....if you dont have much $$ go for one of those and make a track and get your friends into it.

lol if your on this website you should usually be able to afford some R/Cs. If you've never had an R/C before, its best to get an electric truck. No nitro tuning issues, less matience, overall more fun.
I have never seen a 3rd gen body on an R/C, but I have seen LS1 TA bodies on maxxes.

yes it is...kinda... nitro cars require alot more work then electrics, and alot more money to maintain, so while they are fun, you must be commited to them
as for that kit, like most touring cars, you need a flat smooth surface and some room.
parking lots work great.. i usually load up everything, including any tools i may need if somthing goes wrong, and go to a nice empty parking lot and have fun.
now if you get a offroad one, you can drive it in the backyard, ect.... but i like driving onroad..... plus all the cool bodys (IMO) are onroad.
btw, someone makes a IROC body... i almost ordered it last time i was at the hobby shop... i got a C5 instead.

I can vouch for the T-Maxx to be a easy one to get started on. As for bumps mine sucks them up and goes for more. But I know that they dont like full speed head on to a brick wall, nearly broke the whole front suspension off of the frame, The engine even broke off the frame, that was 2 months ago and I have not fixed it yet, 300 to fix it ouch. But the new body survived with only a few scratches

just another note.....if you are OK with working on cars, a nitro shouldnt be a problem really.......they can be a little frusturating at times but i'm sure not nearly as bad as with a real car cause parts are alot less expensive, less parts to worry about, none of that electric crap......if you have the $$ and a little time on your hands get a nitro cause theyre more fun and you can run all day without having to recharge batterys.....cept in the transmitter and onboard reciever/servo power supply which swallows 12 AA's at a time! lol

I posted the link 1/2 way up the page on the IROC body.
I guess nobody reads all the replies and just skims the posts.

McAllister racing used to have a 3rd gen Firebird stock car but I don't see it now. They were also one of the first companies to make a very nice replica of a ZR-1 vette.
I looked around and couldn't find the Firebird though and the ZR-1 is for the T-MAXX.
I also remember seeing an ad in a RC magazine for a lexan vacuum. All you had to do is place a sheet of lexan in the oven for a bit and than place it on a special box attached to a vacuum cleaner. Inside that box was what ever model you wanted and the lexan would conform to it's shape.
I don't know how well this worked.
Heres the McAllister web site:

I have a losi jrx2
2 mugen seiki touring cars
one new and 2 old tmaxxs one with 2 .15's
a rustler to torture
tamiya lunch box
rs4 mini
older clodzilla 2
rc10gt with road hogs and a picco engine
some weird bolink dragster.....really bad quality
and my beast.......home made dragster with a weed wacker engine.
I know associated was making a 4th gen camaro body on the DS cars. I remember a long time ago (early 90's maybe) prepainted red iroc bodies for sale at tower. I have not seen any 3rd gens for a long time. I know if you call parma with an order they will make ou what you want if you buy enough of them.....well they used to anyways. Chances are if you can get like 20-30 people together that want them, they will make them for you and you can all buy one. As for iroc wheels I have not seen them but I have seen weld wheels for rc cars before. I wish I knew who made them because I want them for my dragster.

i have an hpi super nitro rs4 with the nov. .12 race motor on it. i had searched for an iroc body for some time now. that is for a 1/10 scale. the super nitro is realy a 1/9 scale but the body should work. i hope so. i am getting tired of using the f 150 body.
and wreck+ speed= a **** load of parts broke.
thanks
anthony

I used to race with a guy that put a .21 Picco on an RS4. It was too nasty to drive. Ripped the tires right off of the rims. But it was cool!!:rockon:

I have a Yokomo GT4, I ditched the stock RX7 body for a 4th gen TA, and then bought the Bolink Iroc-Z body.
I wouldn't recommend it for 1/10 200mm wide cars. It would probobly fit a Super RS4 just fine though.
I looked around for some really deep wheels to fill the width the body better, but couldn't find any and it would screw stuff up anyways.
As far as detail goes, its a little cartoony, buldged fenders and such. the body up a few posts looks much much better.
Again the bolink body is way too wide for 200mm touring cars.

I got mine from Tower Hobbies. Doesn't look like they carry it anymore, and its not on Bolink's site, nor does it show up in any searches I do. I guess it really isn't made any more.
