Super Autobacs R-Magic RX-8 & my RC version

While on a recent trip to Tokyo, I picked up this Speedway Pal 1/10th scale RC RX-8 body kit. It replicates the Super Autobacs R-Magic wide body kit RX-8, complete with the vented R-Magic hood.

Some of you may have seen the SAB "Super Street" RX-8 featured in the magazine of the same name last year. For those who missed it, here's a pic of the real car.



Followed by pics of my 1/10th RC car version.

Thanks for the comments guys. I don't know if this kit can be easily found in the US or not, I haven't seen it anyway. But if you happen to visit Tokyo, just go to Akihabara (electronic district), there are a couple of RC hobby shops that have it.

For those really interested, here's the website on Speed Way Pal's RC bodies:

I just noticed that the real R-Magic wide body kit is selling on ebay for over $7K.
