Graupner used to be the real innovator once upon a time.

That model must be a bit of a rarity now. Worth a bit new...

Hey Austin I would love to give you the 1/8th but I need it for my collection.
I do have a 1/8th shell spare that I will use on the FF03 tamiya on the left side of the pic when i paint up my car I will paint to match.
I am looking at one more car to finish my Kyosho collection.

I have one of those 1/10 Gas minis - handles like crap and the plastic quality is rubbish.
Better left as a shelf queen that one.
That Graupner car is quite interesting - clearly a tamiya M-01 shell sold under another brand.

I'm almost considering it. 4 months ago and i would have taken you up on that. brand new and unmolested, it's getting to that point where they are worth it. Right now though, i'm saving for the 1:1 version and all the bits ill need to keep it running as well...
