FYI,
Tamiya also made a 1/10 scale quattro rally Radio control model, It has
AWD and an adjustable suspension with oil filled dampners etc. Very
fast. For those unfamiliar with Tamiyas r/c cars, I assure you these are
some serious toys! The bad news is this car has been long-since
discontinued (although I found a sticker set in a hobby shop) and I have
yet to find one. Expect to pay approx $250-300 if I find a new one,
somewhat less used. Maybe someday....
P.S. I too have built the 1/24 scale TQCs. good detail, but check out
those extra rear suspension links.? My 1/1 scale car doesn't seem to have
them, hmmm.
What can I say, I'm hooked on quattros,
