Unfortunately (for us Yanks) it is RHD.

RHD? LHD? who cares! Its not like you are going to drive it!

Anyways, yea it is nice for 10 bucks, but its also 1/24 and from the models I've seen, anything smaller than 1/18 and the rear lights and other features deteriorate quite quickly. Basically seen Matchbox cars at 1/43 (I think) look better than some of those 1/24, but then again...this is a kit!

I meant that I can't make it look like my Stook. Everyone would say "Hey, the steering wheel is on the wrong side!". I found another good EBay auction. Here is a nice R/C Stook. Pretty cheap too.

yea, I dig that. Would be sweet. I remember having one of those as a kid. I had the Frog, and a friend of mine had the Grasshopper. With a controller, two batteries, charger and all the works, it ran about 200 or so, maybe 300, not really sure. I never did get the street tires though, those rock! And I've seen a few races as well, they have them at the local Oshman's from time to time (and just happen to watch upon passing) on Anderson Ln. here in Austin.

Yes, I am going to buy that same Tamiya R/C kit. Of course...it'll be yellow.
I have an older Tamiya R/C car that was a Civic Touring Car that I made to look exactly like my '93 Civic SI I had at the time. The kit even has Front wheel drive.
This kit is available at http://www.towerhobbies.com for around $110...of course, I expect to put in over $150 worth of hop-ups

The Tamiya model kit is NOT RHD, it is LHD. I have that same one already, and will be painting it a custom color.

The Tamiya lexan body is a great representation of our S2Ks, however, if you want a real slick looking S2K body for a 1/10th scale R/C car, check out the one at HPI racing products.

I believe their web addy is http://www.hpiracing.com

The picture on the box shows it as RHD. Maybe the box photo is only Japan Spec?
