I have seen that Tamiya produce a remote control Stook.
I havnt seen one up close but it looks good.
Do any of you guys have one ?
Is it any good ?
I want to buy it as a present for somebody special so it must be good.

Thanks

 

Love your avatar! Is that Postman Pat?

The Tamiya is nice, but it comes as a 'roof up' model. You can buy a nice inset which lets you cut the roof off and run as a convertible. Makes all the difference in my opinion.

I'm searching for the company that makes the insert now. I think they're called HPI or something.

Here you go:

I have one, not painted yet. I'll take a pic for you. I've the tamiya base and HPI wheels and chassis.

 

anyone see the S2000 r/c car in a can by tyco, i bought one a while back, fun to drive

 

Excellent, thanks for the feedback guys.
Its actually for the wife, I can't afford a real Stook for her, so this will have to do
I want as good a replica of mine as possible (will make a good ornament if I do a good enough job ...I may be a little sad but I'm happy )
The larger scale is also a bonus.


Auss2000, the avatar is an American policeman from a cool animated gif site I found through Google.

 

I have the tamiya chassis with an HPI body.
I think it looks pretty cool.

There was a picture of a black HPI, that I think even fooled a couple people into thinking it was real.
Ya, I was shocked too

 

cool topic,
I've seen my friend playing with his NSX, so cool, he changed gear after 'vtec'-ing hard in the first gear.
very fast

 

If it's just for an ornament the RC may not be the best bet. It lacks some detail, such as correct wheels, windscreen wipers etc. It's aim is performance not looks.

I have a Tamiya model kit in 1/24, and the AutoArt in 1/18. Both are extremely detailed. The Maisto is bigger but not as nicely detailed, but still a better bet than the Tamiya RC,

 

nice mindcore...that thing looks sweet.... i have the tyco canned heat r/c...that's the only one i could find.......i just have it sitting with all my other s2k models....6 in all....

 

Nice. I need to find a place that will paint mine.
