Won't have it till Friday, so that kinda stinks.
But wanted to ask you guys that still have these, what Tamiya bodies work on these?? I jumped on ebay and there were some from TBG, TeamBlueGroove or something, but have never heard of them. Was hoping that a Tamiya mini body will fit.
Thanks in advance!
Basically you have a car that is so complicated compared to what you need to run a Tamiya mini. The Cup Racer is technically superior to any Tamiya M-Chassis.
What you get with the Cup is the flexibility to run any 210mm or 225mm wheelbase body made by HPI, Tamiya, ABC Hobby, Colt, aaand many 1/12th scale pancar bodies will fit too.
My advice is get something more exotic than a Mini Cooper because you have a more exotic chassis. HPI Lancia Stratos (which only fits on this chassis*), HPI Porsche 911, Blitz McLaren P1, Protoform PFM12, etc.
If you get bored with your CF Cup Racer, sell it to me!
*okay, technically if you have an Active Hobby A210SS / Ofna JL12e you could without any modification to the chassis.
