i've only seen the nikko r/c car in silver with all the weird decals on it already...

i'd like to know how well it drifts though... i wanted to buy one...

i also saw at best buy an rx7 at about... 10th or 12th scale... with drift tires...

As posted it appears only sunlight silver is available with a bunch of stickers all over it... I was a little disappointed

Actually I have seen it in Red... Let me find the link.

Well, here is one. http://www.johnlewis.com/Toys/Shop+b...7/Product.aspx

If you're looking to buy a remote control car, don't waste your time with those Nikko ones. I've been into R/C about five years.

A company called HPI makes Nitro powered and electic powered R/C cars. They can get up to 60mph and you can put just about any body shell on them you want. But be prepared to spend $$$$. I have about 10 of these things over the years and I spent an average of $500 on each one.

Here are some pictures...

If you are looking for a replica RX-8 and don't care if it is remote control or not go to the website for Rosenthal Mazda in Arlington Virginia. They sell models in every color for around $30.
