How is that not realistic? Realistic doesn't mean it looks just like something you'll see in the local parking lot. The body I posted is a very close replica of an actual 1:1 race car. I am racing RC cars, not parking them in front of a 1:10 Wal-Mart.

Only if that's how you choose to be. Some prefer to go to the track to have fun racing with each other with cars that look cool, even if we're a little off Reinhard's pace...
