Yes, I really mean 7" wide -- and in the middle too. I actually need a clean 6.8" x 6.8" inside. Couldn't find anything at ToysRUs, but I did find a few at www.towerhobbies.com...

Kyosho -- $47!

Parma 2003 GT -- $23

Pro-Line 190mm -- $20

Pro-Line 200mm -- $20

The Proline 200 looks very boxy and unrealistic. Not sure if that's due to the nasty paint scheme on it.

Can't tell what the Pro-line 190 looks like (could not find out for sure even from Pro-Line's website).

The Parma also looks boxy (from Parma's website ). Ugh! ...

I can't find out what the Kyosho looks like, but their quality has always been excellent. But $47 for a piece of plastic is a bit high. Then I'll spend ~$20 on wheels, and then there's an (aluminium sheet) chassis, etc, etc. Ouch!

I did find a nice radio control GT40 at Fry's, but it's $129.!!!!! It's does like 20mph, and has some high-tech RC gear in it, so it would be pain to pay that much, then gut the electronics and drivetrain.

I'm still searching.

Thanks,
-Neil.



I'm still searching for options.
