Evo 8 MR R/C Edition!

Spent last evening helping Ching with her new car... an Evo 8 MR R/C edition! Heh... was great fun, this model has got all the details right. The fitment is incredible, I would say it's better than even the real thing!

So I spent the next couple of hours just setting everything up for her... this included fitting on the Chargespeed body kit, miniature ADVAN RGII-lookalike wheels, changing the rear suspension to harder settings for some drift action etc. The final touch was to add the lights which made it look really cool :D There's also some accessory to add undercarriage lights but that was too over-the-top so we decided to just leave it as it is.

As is common with R/C models these days, practically all parts of the car can be modified e.g. higher RPM motor, 4WD setup, better suspension, better bearings, better tires etc. The list goes on, just like the real thing. What impressed me the most is that this is by far the most detailed Evo model I've seen to date, and being an R/C is a bonus. Really tempted to get my own. :)
