Possible MAGsteer Porsche 935?

Post by Nor Cal Mike »

I was going to post this as part of a side conversation with Joel over on Paul's MAGjag thread but thought better of it I decided to post a new thread so as not to step on Paul's Jag posting.

I found this old RC GRP5 Porsche on Ebay last week for the grand some of about $8.00 bucks shipped. Photos of the bottom side of the original chassis showed that it used three AAA batteries mounted transversely so I was fairly confident that this body would be wide enough to fit over the current MAGsteer chassis. It was a cheap RC car of questionable scale accuracy due to its width but the detail is quasi decent and the body has enough attitude to it to impress me as a toy to play with.

You can see that the MAGsteer chassis fits fine width wise but needs a little more length in the wheelbase. It has black windows and is pretty light weight. Joel, If you are interested in casting this body please do contact me. I would be happy to offer it up for that purpose.
