Hi all thought i would start a thred on my next build or rebuild ;)

I am planning on building a replica of the 1988 isle of mann winning BMW M3

As a base i will be using a Tamiya TT-01 chassis and a Tamiya M3 shell. i already have a few hopups on the TT but more will follow soon. Monty will be painting the shell as soon as i can get it to him and as soon as it arrives with me :thumbs_up: .
this is what it should look like when it is finished


I will be fitting lights to the shell supplied by marc rc addict i think it will look great.

I will post some photos as i progress. Speak to you all soon Rob

One word.. CLASSSSSS
