I'm always impressed by what these R/C builders can do. Is R/C drifting popular in the US? I'm curious as to whether there is a market for stuff like this.

Both of those bodies are quite basic actually.. Yokomo makes that koguchi 180 and there isnt really any custom work on that one. There are much more impressive rc bodies out there with many hours of work put into them that include engine bays, interiors etc.

Do you guys make your own aero kits or do they sell scale replicas of all this stuff? I'm amazed at how accurate these look compared to the actual cars.

^^ A lot of companies actually make scaled down, kitted and non kitted versions of the s13/14. I have an s14 with all navan aero. Sorry for the Iphone pictures

Here's mine before putting any detail work in it.

I'm always impressed by what these R/C builders can do.

I have an RC section on my blog if you want to see more cool pictures: shameless self-promotion (http://rndabt.com/tagged/rc)
