Datsun Models - is there a 1/10 or 1/12 scale?

jamesw · Post by **jamesw** » Tue Jan 07, 2014 11:17 am

Now that I have my RC Datsun 510 - I really need a roadster body for it, right?

RC cars come in 1/18, 1/12, and 1/10 scale.

So - is there a sturdy roadster model that I could use as a "male form" to have one of the plastic molding companies make me a body? Any suggestions? I think it would need to have the soft top or hard top on to make a good RC body.

Cheers
James

It looks like the Autoart 1:18 scale model might work:

Does anyone have one? Would it be possible to take the body off to use it as a form to mold around?

ABC Hobby had a 1/10 RC body. They are hard to find, but do pop up every so often.

Mark: It's a roadster body? I have seen their 510 and 240z bodies but not the roadster. If so - that is cool!

Thanks Mark! Found it.

The ABC hobby shell is NLA but I'll keep looking and maybe I can get ABC to make some more.

James, several people have tried to get ABC to make more, and have failed. I tried, then I came across one. Rumor had it that BRE was going to get bodies made, but I have not heard more about it.

I emailed them. I told them I own car #48 so maybe that will help

But if Peter Brock couldn't do it...

I contacted ABC when I owned both #60 and #76. It did no good. They even checked to see if any distributors had any on the shelf - no such luck. Be patient, one will show up. They aren't cheap though. Before I got mine, one sold for $350 or so... Yes, just for the body shell - no radio...

I can send you one but it will cost $75. New, unpainted, 1/10 scale Roadster Body (hardtop) with Lexan front & rear bumpers (you paint those as well, don't ask me how they attach).

Let me know.

Right on Mike. Are you going to put an SR20 in yours (aka brushless motor LOL)?
