Yeah these model cars are great.

I've gotten about 1/2 of what's out there (see pic below). Still looking for the diecast highly detailed model, 1/10th scale for a wankle gas powered R/C car, and a few other nice models.

Which one of those model, do you acually get to build the engine??? In my opinion its not worth buying unless you get to build it all.

Sorry for bringing this post back from the dead, but i really want to know this, so i can get the corect model.

All are self assemble except the bottom ones - which are electric r/c models that you can install an electric engine into.

There are wankle plastic engines that turn via electricity. As far as the r/c car, it's a fully working gas powered wankle engine with mini shocks, 3 speed auto, and mini suspension. Several sights sell the r/c kit complete with a modified wankle r/c engine with an air cooler on the back of the engine. I just can't find an 1/10th shell in the FC style.

Here's a pic from a guy that made an australian r/c car. I have no clue where he found this shell.

The top left one actually has an engine. most of the other ones just have closed hoods.

Where did you find the Mtech/Epoch models? I've been looking for them forever!! I have their website but can't read Japanese. Even when i translated it, no mention of a US distributor.

It's a pity. Every last one of them have the TII Hood. What a waste of good plastic.

"Boost is for the weak" Gotta give the TII guys hell.>>>
