Tamiya RX-7 is Rotary Goodness

I've been hanging on to an M04 chassis for a while. I want to build a slick mini with it but I can't decide what body to use on it. Tamiya has just made things even more difficult. This has to be the most detailed first generation Mazda RX7 bodies available. If you've never driven a real one do yourself a favor and try one. These little cars are so much fun. They combine go-kart like handling, a smooth buzzy rotary engine, with a pretty comfortable interior to give you an experience that you will not find in any other car. In my area people are buying these up and restoring them. I had an opportunity to get one but the lack of pistons and my previous experience with bad apex seals on an FC3S RX7 convinced me otherwise.

This car comes on the standard M06 chassis so you know what to expect handling wise. This chassis is gaining a reputation as stable quick platform that is easily upgraded and most importantly affordable to get in to. There plenty of hop-up parts available for this car and many more coming out next year. I've included some pics from the bay. someone was selling a pretty awesome one that was enhanced with some ABC car accessories. Check this car out and buy one!
