if i do ill post it!

 

thanks for the links that thing is SWEET! so where do you get the shell? can you just get the shell and get this http://www.xmodsinternational.com/Xm...lectronics.htm
and pop the shell over it and be done? do you know if they made them in a kit? thx. please if you do make yours LET ME SEE IT!

 

probably wont be able to find one under $160 for sure.

this is what i have http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...I=LXNCA8**&P=0

this is the only camaro body i can find. pain headlight buckets, and the louver area black alont with the windows. would be awesome

http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXNTA5&P=7

 

thats pretty cool so could you just pop 1 of those chassis i showed under that iroc shell? or is there more to it then that?

 

pretty much! just have to fit the shell to the chassis mounts, wheels, engine, exhaust and whatever alse is in the way!

 

what size would you need of chassis? im going have to do this i wish i would of started gettin into this stuff before i spent all my money! do you know anywhere were you can get the xmods put on? i dont trust my self with big clumsy hands and little breakable parts.

 

dont know anything about xmods.

the ones im talking about are 1/10th scale.

the nitro one i have does 80mph before any tuning!
oh and all wheel drive!

 

your bs'in me right!? 80mph! gas right? iv been wanting to build a mini camaro that you can actually sit in and make it identical to an iroc but ya alot smaller lol. im suprised you havent heard of xmods. i'll read up more about these things sometime when i have more time.

 

ok "70"mph, forgive my memory. lol

http://www.traxxas.com/products/nitr...rx_n4tec33.htm

i have two( actually i think 3) of these monster trucks. INDECTRUCTABLE!! hit a tree doing probably about 30 with it only hitting the rf tire, no damage!

http://www.traxxas.com/products/nitr..._tmaxx4910.htm
40mph out of the box

i also have a nitro boat they no longer sell. its still yet to see the water, or leave the box!

 

Thats awesome!! I might just pic up that maro body to replace my R34 shell... I love these things, they're fast as hell... I have a 7 turn motor in the blue skyline, blew the gearing up front... haha.. The GTR has a belt driven 10 turn that was originally on the f-430... I screw around with emm every now and then - usually sedated with a few buddys of mine, haha...

 

Here's mine- based on my old ZZ4 IROC. 1/10 Electric.

 

wow you went all out on that thing!

 

We used to have these mini-z R/C cars.. You could modify a plastic model as a body.. We used NASCAR models on the F1 bodies.. I don't know if they still make Mini-Z though..

http://minizcanada.com/

 

those are hell nice but why do you have 3??? arnt those a couple hundred bucks to!? 70mph is faster then some freakin cars!

 

thats sweet just what i want. was it like that all ready together or did you buy all the stuff and put it together?

 

It's quite a big job to get it looking like that It comes as clear plastic and pinstripes were used (a lot) and the light buket were made by using the lid of 2 packets of Marlboro Lights and foil.

I used a Tamiya TA02 chassis as a base.

Thanks for the kind words

 

It comes as just see through plastic btw.

 

Used to be big time into xmods, and other higher scale vehicles as well as modeling. You can easily make yourself a 3rd gen xmod that you can drive around your house. Maybe this winter I"ll get around to building it to the 3rd gen Iron I'm trying to replicate my car with. Just locate a 3rd gen model and go to custom mounting with plexiglass and etc.

I did a 4th gen Trans Am model to an xmod with full detailed interior. Fun to do but just tkaes a while.

Heres some pictures so you can see just what you can do with these, and the price won't be too expensive, and you can still drive it around your house.

 

thats sweet! i love those ws6 birds. how much did it cost you for everything? so just to make sure i just need a xmods chassis and that camaro body and just pop it on if i just wanna do it basicily.

 

I used to be BIG into R/C cars, haha. I had a bunch of xmods too. Just for kicks, here are a couple of the xmods I fitted with model bodies. I have been looking for a model of third gen, but they going for big bucks on ebay.




And here is one my favorite R/C's I owned so far

 

nice r/c's you got that big truck is pretty sweet i want a r/c black escalade with a suspension drop and big azz wheels lol but for the wheel thing it would be a 09 escalde plat. in black with chrome 26's and the whole car chromed out and lowered a bit more then stock. haha sorry i got kinda off topic. sweet cars though. is that like a 69 chevy truck on the bottom?

 

I've got this one sitting on top of my monitor right now. Never have painted it. I've sold all of my rc cars now but some day I'd like to paint this body to match my Camaro then moch up some minimal chassis under it just so it looks like its real.

 

I have that camaro body
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXNTA5&P=7

and another one also. Dono who makes it. I'll have to dig em out and take pic's.
http://www.cecoatings.com/images/one8thscale/
heres a 1/8th scale I was gonna turn into a RC. got rid of this one. I had 3 of em.
1 left in a unopened box. Might do it to that one.

 

the link didnt work but it sounds cool

 

thx for showing the pics the seventh 1 down boy do i wish my engine bay looked that clean!

 

fixed it. its the one list above, anyway.

 

ya thats the body i was going buy. look down on that page and look how it says the body is a r/c version of a 82-97 camaro lol.

 

As far as simple r/c toys goes, Radio Shack used to sell an r/c Camaro - I've collected 2-3 of them. They were simple $40 toys, 27 and 49 Mhz.

If it's 3rd gen Camaro, I've got it. Hot wheels, Matchbox, Johnny Lightning. I just got a few Transformer 3rd gen Camaros last week. Darda made pull-backs about the size of a Matchbox car. I've also got electric slot cars - there were about 6 made that I know of, and there was a slot car set that featured Camaro's that I got And I think I have a Micro Machine 3rd gen as well. Over the years I've collected cigarette lighters, watches, necklace pendants, key rings, models - all kinds of junk - all 3rd gen Camaro. I even have a 3rd gen Camaro pillow!

About twice a week I spend a couple hours scouring ebay for 3rd gen Camaro items. I'll dig 'em out and get ya a pic maybe Saturday and post it here.

 

nice! i have a couple diffrent thirdgen camaros mostly small hotwheels. but i wish i had a thirdgen camaro pillow! also a thirdgen camaro watch would be sweet maybe just the speedo or tach as the pic inside watch.

 

As lame as it may sound, but would you be willing to take a few pics of your collection?? haha... I've been starting my own and would love to see all thats out there... Mine is miniscule in comparison, but I have found some cool things so far - all randomly... After leaving a casino late one night, I stopped at a 7-11 to pick up a pack of smokes and sitting there on the shelf by the counter was a 1:18th scale Blue 85 IROC... Made me forget the hundreds of dollars I lost a few blocks down, haha...

 

Uhm

40 dollar xmods
Plexiglass,epoxy, other etc 20$
Model body 18$

Its not that easy just to pop on you have ot make cusotm mounts with plexi glass and extend the chasis. I got a hold of a 3rd gen on ebay for about 15 bucks just have yet to get aorund to cleaning some of my other projects up to start it. I didn't have ot pay for materials as I already had them from left over projects.

 

OK guys - sorry took so long - holidays and all.

Here's a link to a PhotoBucket album I created with pics and descriptions of my "toy collection" - if you click each photo to make full size, you'll see the descriptions I've made:

http://s287.photobucket.com/albums/l...Camaro%20Toys/

 

So you cannot just put a the body shell on any body since i have a tamiya 1/10th scale with a mustang shell but would love to put a thirdgen camaro on it.
By the way camaronewbie that is a nice collection you have

 

I found this one on our ebay ( live in Sweden) , just fun to have , it works but the steering is a little messed up .

 

Damn! bringing back some memories.What percentage nitro does that 3.3 use to reach 70mph?Must be up there!Thats 1/8, right?

I used to run a 1/8 scale US1 nitro truck.Then got into 8th scale on road.Also 1/5 nitro bikes for a while.Eventually i sold everything but this.

 

Aw man I'm happy I found this lol. I used to be really into nitro R/C cars as well. I got my first one when I was 12 (Traxxas Sportmaxx). Then I got another one when I was around 14 (Traxxas Jato). I'm 18 now. I slowly started losing interest at around the time I got my driver's license (16) and now they're just sitting in my garage collecting dust. I got my thirdgen (91 trans am convertible) last August and with that there's no way I could afford to spend any money on my RCs lol. I used em probably once or twice last summer though lol. I dunno if I should sell em. If I ever get back into them, I'm definitely buying a thirdgen camaro or firebird body for them. An r/c thirdgen monster truck would be cool haha.

 

you guys should join my friends forum page NitroCarnage theres all kinds of topics with focus on rc cars he just started the page and is trying to get more users

 

anyone else? wow i cant belive its been 8months since chrismas lol I swear this yr has just gone by in an flash since its turned 2010...

 

i guess this is a pretty old thread, i just found it and thought i'd contribute, i built this in 1985: 1/8 Camaro gas engine RC

 

Wow! Thats awesome! Is that body the one from the model kit they made?

 

yes, i used the body, dash from the Camaro. the driver, seat, rear axle (narrowed), rear wheels, misc parts, were from the Tamyia (sp?) blazing blazer. I hinged the rear window/deck lid to open up for access to the gas tank, and r/c batteries, there was a plug on the tailpanel to plug in to charge the r/c batteries, a switch on the dash to turn on the reciever. I tried for realistic as opposed to fast, though it would run about 40 real MPH. Did all that to get my mind off of my back surgery. Won second place in a NM state fair model car show against VERY well detailed static models, includind a couple 1/8th Camaro's. Still have the car, i'm thinking about redoing it only nicer.

 

I build chassis for those over size 1/10 custom works Camaro Rc bodies.

I just posted some pics of two I built.

 

More Rc pics.

 

Got my new wheel in, and added disc brakes.

 

Nice custom build might look better i got mine on a supernitro rs4

 

Got mine mounted up first on i seen on a hpi super nitro rs4
Lmk what yall think so far

 

Body is too wide for your touring car. That body is for a pan car chassis.

 

EVERYONE!! Just think car shows.
i got a company lined up to produce rc 1/10th 3rd gen realistic camaro bodies. An maybe the same year firebirds after this run
Im looking for the guys that wanna get one. once we can get enough ppl to make the deposit they will do our run i cant fund it alone or i would. Lets get this rolling. All bodys come clear btw. For the guys dont dont have a on road rc car i know of good ones for under 150 bucks an it comes with everything. plus i could paint them also For that perfect real look

If you would like one and when time comes to order you will be required to pay for the body in full im trying to get shipping included. please message me with number of bodys that you would personally want to purchase an a phone number thats best to reach you.
Bodys are roughly $40-$50 per unit. Run has to be no less then 75 units!!!

If we sell enough units im gonna try to get another company involved to make door handles.an hood vents and or scoops. Changeable geound effects its pretty limetless options to make you rc car look just like your real car.

 

so I know this is a mad old thread, but, did these ever get made??
