initial thoughts...

my skyline came yesterday and this thing is tiny. there's a post on ripper's saying it was proportional, but it is not. it steers like a bit. the base that looks like the rs viper/vette charging base is just a piece of plastic. the car charges in the controller like the x-tuners.

i'll post more when i have some more time to play with it.

Did you get the one on toyeast.com? That is the clone so it may not be porportional or at least im hoping thats the case.

mine is the doyusha branded one from hlj. i'm not sure which is the original and which is the clone, or they could actually be the same thing, just with different names and boxes.

No, the one lucky had was from TE, and his was propo. When you say steers like a bit, do you mean magnetic steering? If so the TE ones are much better.

i took the body off mine and it looks identical to lucky's. the steering is motorized, so you may think it might be propo, but...

1) i don't see any steering pot
2) the steering trim is via good ol' fashioned lever on the bottomside
3) there's a return spring

so i'm pretty confidant that mine isn't a lemon or something and at least the doyushas are non-propo. now i don't know about the toyeast ones, but like i said, the internals look identical to mine so....?????

Can't wait to see what you find DT. I think I may pick up a blue skyline either way, propo or not.

It's a kokam 145, and it fits in ZZs and bits nicely.

this car, assembled, can fit within a zz shell with about a 1/4" along the sides to spare.

Well, worth a shot trying. I am really tempted to buy one, as it's about 25 shipped from TE.
