looking for large scale car.. please advise

[Brute_Jared]

Hello,

I’m an employee with a company called Brute Industries, Inc. We manufacture Race Race ramps from raceramps.com

We are trying to find a large scale model of a Subaru WRX for use at an upcoming auto show. I have found a couple, one at LargeScaleRC.com, another cheesy looking car, and another from a website based in italy. But we really don’t want to spend $1,000 on a simple model car when we aren’t racing it. We originally bought a 1/10th scale Tamiya, but that’s a little bit small (we really want a 1/5th scale).

We thought about buying just a body (from largescalerc.com) and mounting it to a block and putting wheels on it, but just the body alone is $174. I realize for racing, that’s not a lot, but for our purposes that is a little costly.

Does anyone have a solution? Feel free to call 906-786-0585 and ask for Jared.

I would look into the Kyosho Inferno GT...its not 5th scale, but it is pretty big. You can get one with a really nice Subaru body. It can be found at many major online shops, so shop for price, but its in the neighborhood of 300-400 ready to rip. Not really a racer, its more intended for someone who wants a car that they can bash up and have fun with. But there are onroad clubs that are starting to race spec classes with them...so it would be a great class to start out in if you did decide you wanted to race.

Hope that helps
