I have been looking all over for a Radio Controlled Maxima. But all I can come up with is the Skyline. Anybody know any hobby places that make Maxima Bodies for remote controlled cars???Pls Help.

 

I think there is some company that makes custom bodies for 1/10 cars. I haven't had any luck finding them though.

 

I've never seen any R/C maxima, nor any maxima toy from Japan.

 

If anyone finds one, please let me know

 

I've been into RC cars a long time and I've yet to see one.

 

I think we should get all the maxima guys together that own 1/10th scare RC cars, and call up Protoform and ask for maxima bodies. Maybe if they get enough people, they will start mass producing the body.

yeah i wouldn't mind having a rc maxima either!!!

 

I dont think it would be too easy to come up with a mold of a maxima without alot of equipment.

How would you be making it? Vacuum forming?

 

could you use a harden clay model of a maxima? i had my cousin and her friends in a high school art class make me a clay model of my 4th gen that i was planning on using for a micro R/C. i can see if they want to make a 1/10

 

Wow... that would be awesome to have a Maxima body. It would make me dig out the 'ol TC3 again

 

I don't even own an R/C, but I'll buy one if you can get the body done. Then someone really will be able to claim the first all wheel drive maxima!

When someone DOES come out with a Maxima r/c, im gonna be the first one with a AWD Turbo Maxima

 

There is a really easy way to come up with a "nitrous" system for an r/c car

Just use some 1/2 inch thick tubing, cut a hole in the body, and secure the tubing to the front of the body where the opening is. After this, about halfway down the tubing, cut it, and put like a little openable box there. Cut holes in the box to allow for air flow. When you get the tubing all hooked up, and it looks half-assed, just put a piece of dry ice in the box, and aim the end of the tubing at your motor It really works too, trust me.

 

ok, i can probably do a clay model of it 1/10 style. but it'll be a few weeks since i don't have a lot of time to dedicate to this project.

slammed95: if i made the clay model and sent it to you, would you then be able to touch it up as necessary?

for the rest of you: body kit or no body kit? wing or no wing? if yes, which one? how detailed do u want it?

 

Stillen aero kit, with a touring style wing.

 

excuse my french but there is no way in hell anyone is going to make a maxima rc. there is no rally cars except the g20 that nissan made. that's as close to the maxima as you will go. i am into rc cars and tried many years.
here are some ideas i came up with and it looks great:
buy a bmw 540/infiniti g20/mitsubishi lancer (stock)/ paint the rear tail red/clear from the inside
the front headlight tape up to do a l.e.d transplant
paint the grill silver.
then paint it what ever color your car is. your done.

 

Excuse my french but they already have a Nissan Altima and a 350z out from Protoform. Besides, even if they dont start mass producing a maxima, we can still do it for ourselves, or even just talk about it. Who would want a lancer... those 4 cylindar POS's. They already have an Eclipse out, and the g20 isnt that popular.

 

i used to work at hobby stores. i did that for a few years. theres one thing that i noticed they always had the most common cars, like the dam civics and such. but i think HPI racing may make a mold if there is emough demand. it would be difficult but i remember someone saying something of that. so try HPIracing.com.

 

You forgot to ask 4th or 5th gen body style. I vote for a 4th gen...

BLUEC-good luck!! i have yet to see a turbocharged gas (nitro) powered R/C..

 

we already know there is no maxima r/c body. that is why i'm trying to make a clay model

i was planning 4th gen since that is what i have.

on another note, does anybody have specs of a 1/10 car? i don't have a body that i can use for measurements. i need basic size: height, width, length.

I use to be on the hpiracing.com forum all the time. They make bodies for r/c, every month they came out with a new one (I don't know if they still do that). But they have a forum where you can vote/suggestion for their next body. If we all go on there and vote for our max we might have a chance!

 

link us up and I will definately vote!

 

yeah link us up so we can vote..

Defiatly a 4th gen model.

 

I would buy it, What size 1/10 200mm?

 

I just bought a 1/10th 200mm Nissan Skyline body, and I would love to have a Maxima to add to my collection.

 

btw, i have a awd HPI nitro RS4 2 speed, exhuast, and purple heat sinker.

 

I used to have an RC10GT nitro.

THen I got tired of cleaning up all the mess, and re tuning the engine .15

So I sold it for an AWD HPI RS4. Its been sitting on my book case as a Toyota Altezza and an Audi S4 for about a year.

 

Yeah that would be great !!! I have always wanted one too. I have a skyline kit with a stock spoiler and that would look great !!!
