Tamiya licensed the MC shell. ProLine licensed the MCS shell but sales were SLOW. Thus it was discontinued.

I have two. Granted, I don't have a chassis to put them on, but trust me, they will be pried from my cold, dead fingers...

I had thought about this and now that I've found this thread, I'm getting excited! I have an original RC10 that I could convert. It hasn't been driven in about 10 years... but, I think a quick battery charge is all it needs!!

Can anyone tell me where I can still get a 1/10 Lexan Cooper body!?

Scavenger: That might be the difficult part. Proline destroyed the mold a couple of years ago.

Is it a true original RC10? Six gear transmission with external differential?

HPI Electric mini RS4
OK MINI and RC fanatics, I am looking for a HPI Electric mini RS4. It could be either the normal version or the mini RS4 Pro graphite version. If you have one or a spare that you would part with let me know.

My first RC car was a Tamiya Frog. Memmories!

You gotta use SpazStix chrome paint for all the chrome on your MINI. Indy Silver and Parma FasSilver just doesn't cut it.

If you don't believe me take a look at the pix of RCMIB in my gallery.

As I have said before Tamiya owns the rights to the MC It is 1/10 scale.

Fits the M-03L chassis.

More info is available from the Manufacturer http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/ite...oduct-id=58295

I'd like to find a classic Mini body for my Mini Nitro RS4, I think the Tamiya would fit, but am not sure, any confirmation on that anyone?

Not if only they'd re-release the Bruiser. I always wanted one of those kits... they go for stupid money on Ebay.
