Theres a virtual estate auction taking place this month from a collector in North Dakota that passed. He had around 400+ nib kits, boxes of original body sets, all together 1000+ items. 2 days in and some crazy bids have been placed.

WOW! Some of the Semi's and Eruotrucks intrigue me... but my wallet is happy there isn't any vintage HPI stuff.

Impressive! The TA-01 Nissan Skyline is the original "sedan" racer. We were racing them indoors in the early 90's on a 1/12 carpet track before anyone ever had the idea that they could be raced...

I think that Jordan 191 would be my favorite.

Anyone running a BD10, need some help with gearing and set up. I'm running on Black carpet. All the set up sheet I find are for Mod or 17.5.

What gearing?
Set up sheet?

yea, all of the real cars have pretty strong similarities. its hard to tell.
I see your point though. It looks like the 488 a little more around the engine compartment but i see a strong resemblance to the maclaren on the sides and front.

gearing you can probably start in the mid 3's. I would try and look at the set up sheets with a high grip settings and use that as a baseline.

Gearing will depend on track size. Best to check what others are running at your track.

This is what the Bwoah is based on. I think it's pretty accurate...

Nope. It's not the Vanquish, but this one: https://www.astonmartin.com/en-us/mo...artin-valkyrie

No fantasy or unproduced concept vehicles. If it’s not a car it’s not legal.
I know the 10th proportions will make the cars look a little off... but if someone who has subscribed to Road and Track / Car and Driver (or any other car car media) for 20+ years can't figure out what car it actually is .... it's not a car.

Without an official license, you can only get so close to the original before possibly getting into legal trouble. That's why some bodies will always differ from the original car to a degree.
