It’s a tamiya M series chassis and the body’s are made by Carson. I am having a member painting one just like my car then ran across this one on marketplace. I don’t think there are any spares. David may have an extra after finishing mine but not sure. I will likely sell this body

Nice 914. Looks fantastic on that street chassis. Not sure it would fit on an RC10 because the front and rear shock towers are so tall.

Does it have a brushless or brushed motor? I recently got old RC cars going both with older brushed motors. I was surprised at how inexpensive the ESC, radio/receiver, 2S LiPo battery, and charger were. All for less than $100. The ESC was less than $10.

Your right the RC 10 will not receive the body. Staying the the tamiya chassis. Do you have a link of what you bought?

Carson is out of the bodies currently. I ordered 2 from Germany 4 months ago and they never made it to my shop from the handoff with the USPO. Even with all the info for the post office they would not refund or find my package. You cannot get them anyplace in the world that I can find. They did email me that they would be getting more in some day. They did have the 914-6 stickers and I got 4 sets. Those came just fine. I got the car kit and controller and tools, and some hop up stuff. The wheels are look like Fuchs and I want to paint it up to match my 6 . I could make up a vacuu-form tool and pull it here at my shop but I am just too lazy at 71

Bob I don’t think it will fit that chassis.


Ps just a reminder I will have an extra body for sale once I get the one to match my car

There are both 1/10 I can mod if need be.

So you may want to get a sticker set

The M chassis that the Carson body was made for is 1/12 scale I think. It's smaller than the 1/10 scale Touring Car chassis like your Porsche RSR (260mm wheelbase, 190-200mm width)

@burton73 I have an interest in 1/10 scale 914 bodies (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)
