It definitely looks more to scale than the ZZ.

Well I thought that was pretty cool so I went and got one. It is a Muscle Machines RC SS Tuner, and is not distributed by the same company as Motorwork, but you can get them at Walmart for $15.

Here's the box.

I had a choice of a baby blue SDkyline, or the same green 350Z as HRs, so at the risk of looking like an even bigger copy cat, I got the cool green one. It's a nice green, it looks like it has a gold under coat. I didn't like the decals so I rubbed them out with 3M rubbing compound. The side effect of that is a killer gloss.

I also ditched that ugly wing. This one isn't much better for size, but looks better, and a little silver trim on the wheels really brings them out.

One thing that I thought was cool, is the underside. It has better detals than most diecast.

Here's a picture of the stock chassis, so you can see what HR's done. Actually a great idea, it just makes sense, but I'm curious how you're holding that steering motor down now, Hachi?

Yep... that's the same box that my Supra came in...

Damn, Dave... now I need to rub the decals out of mine... that looks so much better, and I can't stand the decals on mine, either... great idea, man.

I still need to get around to looking into wether or not pullback tires will fit these rims...

The two batts on either side of the motor holds it down because it fits snug. I left a piece of plastic in the back to keep that steering motor from sliding back. I dual celled a Cuda also the same way.

Sorry about the mixup with motorwok's cars. I pick up cars and then put them in mothballs until I'm ready to do something with them. That car had been stored away for a while before I modded it. I forgot it was made by a different company.

It's cool man, I get confused all the time. Feel free to correct me when I'm wrong.

Is that some kind of Virginian expression, or do you actually pack shit away in mothballs?

It's an expression.

It's pretty hard to disect little moths even with a magnifying glass and a set of tweezers. They keep kicking and screaming!

I'm originally from FL. Down there it's a good idea to store paper and clothes with moth balls. Otherwise bugs get in it and destroy it. You don't have to put the balls in your dresser, but if you pack some clothes in a box and put them in the closet in a dark corner for a long time, then it's a good idea. Moth's really do eat fabric and paper and there's other bugs that you don't want to get in your clothes. A friend of mine put some clothes on that he had stored away for a long time without protecting them. He ended up with little bite marks all over his body.

I don't know dude. Motorworks has got a ways to go until I get impressed with their shit. I did pick up a small assortment of things from them though. I'll be showing one off soon. But it's taking mucho modding to get it to look good.
