Custom 1972 GT-R
For some time now I wanted to get a drifter mini-z short base and very wide.
But the body mini-z came with is Lancia HF, very nice shell and I wouldn't hack it.
However, with 3 point offset wheels I had I knew car would be wide
and a Skyline body( Pht2 had dropped in the package
) is a short body.
Perfect candidate.
The car seemed like it's been through battles
I couldn't let go to waste, this one's got history.
So, the evil plan emerged :








Now, some stickers and it's ready to race.
Some specs:
Ball bearings
Alloy dog bones
2 degree camber front
1 degree camber rear
Stock(soft) springs front
Green(medium) springs rear
Alloy batt cover
PN racing Speedy05 BB
Drift tires
+3 offset wheels

That's awesome!
The rear looks a little boxy to me, but the front looks great.

Re: Custom 1972 GT-R
Thanks Dave.
Yeah, it does look boxy. But with +3 offset that's what happen.
I was actually going for the classic Japanese GT racer look, and I really wanted to use those wheels

Re: Custom 1972 GT-R
No vid yet. Once weather and opportunity align, I'd get one done.
well, it took me a while to get some decals on it and it is finally done.
!Word to Bit Pimps!






Lost one of the mirrors already, but it's alright, I'm looking forward to smack it around anyway
P.S. Tana thanks for the decals

I am going to have to debate that point, and say the third pic looks the best.payaso wrote:The very last pic is the best. Rock on dude.
