Just thought I'd take some random pics of RX-8 toys. I had to paint them all to match my car, even the rims .

 

I guess the next project is painting the Transformer. Maybe I shoudl just make him all black, it'll save me some time on taking it apart :D .

 

did you mean to put your wing on backwards on the black rx8?

 

Yes. My friends and I each bought an R/C car, and I guess they all come with a GT wing, the same GT wing , so I wanted to go for a different look. I like it like backwards, looks kinda stealthy.

 

Where did you find that body for the RC car.. Iv been lookin for one..

 

Did you paint the rims on your 8 or did you have them professionally done?

Kinda cool!!

bryrx804 - I bought one of those electric ones from Walmart and it comes in all different types of bodies. If you're looking for those 200mm bodies for gas powered r/c cars, I think eBay has RX-8 bodies for sale. Check it out.

irish8 - I painted them myself. Check out the link for my "DIY" bronzed rims.

If only Mazda had come up with bronzed OEM wheels in the first place...

 

Word

 

I hate to be critical, so I know I should just shut up. But I can't help myself, that paint job on your small Jada Import Racer is horrible! Please don't attempt painting your transformer.

 

Yah yah, I know :p . Actually I was running out of spray paint, and it started to sputter. I thought I'd hav enough to put 3 coats since the car is so tiny, but guess not. So I didn't even bother with the clear coat. It is a bad paint job, and rest assured, after trying to take my transformer apart, it seems like I will have to do a lot of work to preserve the details (headlights, windows, etc.), so I think I will pass on that project.

 

thats funny I was just about to write how shelley must be diggin this!

 

Is this the one that supposed to drift? Is it capable of drifting, Soundave? I did see it at Walmart but I'm satisfied with my Jada RX-8 so I didn't buy it.

 

Well...it does drift and do donuts, but you'll have to be on a smooth surface, like a garage. If it's outside, then all you can do are 180 spins. It's still pretty fun though.

 

Cool, I collect RX-8 toys too. Who makes the RC car? And what color was it before you painted it black? I went to the local Walmart, but they didn't have it. The Jada 1/10th looks nice, but it's so very slow. All show and no go.

 

I thinik it is Walmart's own brand of r/c cars. It's called Super Drift. It's 1:14 scale.

 

I like the rims on the real 8. I wonder what Gold would look like on Red.

 

i wish the walmarts in Canada had rx-8 toys...
does anyone know a good place to get them up here? (other than ebay)
or perhaps even some good quality ebay ones?
