Tamiya 911 GT3 VIP Cup

I’ve been a fan of RC cars since I was a young kid. Anyone who has been in my garage can attest to the fact that this hobby quickly became an obsession. My RC fetish includes both electric and nitro version of on and off-road cars, boats and motorcycles. I have no favorites, they are all loved equally.   

Recently, I had the opportunity to test drive a Tamiya 911 GT3 VIP Cup in the Ready to Run version. As someone who has built a lot of expensive kits and modified them highly, I wasn’t really expecting a ton from this car. Wow, was I ever surprised! With a very reasonable price point (about $200 for the RTR version and $150 or so for the kit), this car is a great entry-level choice, especially for the Porsche fans out there. I threw together a quick video of my test and you can see for yourself after the jump. Once you watch my hack job of a video take a look at the next video and see what can be done with this car with a few choice mods (to turn it into a drifter).  Enjoy!
