Tamiya Honda Civic SiR EG6 Drift - TT02D 58637

 

Easy enough to make it road going.

It is already available as a FWD road car on the FF-03 chassis, albeit in Castrol race livery. The shell appears to be the same moulding though,  so if you wanted a FWD street car, you could just leave off the Castrol decals and paint the shell accordingly. 

Was also gonna say the same thing about the drift chassis and FWD car...

plenty of people out there have converted the 1:1 to RWD for drifting, pop the front dogbones and the centre shaft out, boom, RWD.

In what 1:1?

Honda Civic, loads of converted real ones to RWD. On the TT02, you could do the reverse and make FWD by taking the dogbones out the rear or as I said, for RWD, pop the front dogbones out as well as the centre shaft.

Pop the centre shaft out? Civics are FWD?

 

Only RWD Civics I know of are SR20 conversions?

I want one. According to msuk, this has oil shocks, sport tuned motor and bearings for £119? Seems well specced for that price? Is that correct?

Yep, same info on Tamiya USA.

Ditching the Esc is possibly a good idea.....

Quicrun fanboi here says yes 

You cant run Brushed in 2016 lol!! Was gonna sell the esc and motor anyway and put a sensible brushless system in it.

 

We will see what the Mrs/Santa says, although we are going up to Berrick Upon Tweed in Nov and Gold Star is close...ish
