Ran the car with some rubber "summer" tires this morning...

Does anyone else make the Audi R8 body?

This is the first one I've heard of or seen. I've been looking ever since I got one in Need for Speed Shift (which I no longer play)

The closet one I have seen is the Audi A5 by Orcan which is available in 190mm...

There is a body out there that comes with a kit, but I don't know the manufactuer or if the body is sold separately.

Thanks for the info.

Wow, I think that RTR R8 is an official Audi product base on the box appears in the photos.

Hey guys, these R8 bodies are on sale (Black Friday Sale) right now!

Reely do a version of the R8 (and S3, RS4 Avant and RS6 Avant, even a Q7), and I think Thunder Tiger also do one, but I may have that confused with a TT

The body looks awesome in red or white and with the rear wing and decals seems to be priced well at $29.95. Too bad it isn't available in 190mm width as I'd run one on my Tamiya TA-05V2 sedan for club racing.

It's a shame RCGT was dismembered. You hardly see any of the HPI offset wheels being used anymore since the push to cheaper premount alternatives. That red body is a perfect example of a car that begs to have the right offset wheels. It looks odd without them. TCS had it right all along.....stick with 190mm and wheels are hardly ever a problem.

thanks for the info man... I been searching for a S3 body forever...to bad they dont make the 4 door so it can match my car

If it is so difficult to find the right offset wheels, maybe some thicker wheel hubs/spacers is the solution?
