Two Legendary Motorsport Liveries Make Their Return in RC Form
The worlds of motorsports and R/C have always been closely connected. Radio-control hobbyists enjoy the thrill and power that full-size motorsport competition provides, and those who participate in 1:1 racing often enjoy unwinding with R/C vehicles. Then there are the radio-controlled models that manage to bring the excitement of real-world racing to a more scaled-down scene.
Recently, two well-known racing liveries arrived in the R/C world, the Nissan Skyline GT-R HKS Gr.A and the Falken Tire Porsche 911 GT3 RSR.
Carisma M48S HKS Nissan Skyline GT-R Gr.A
The HKS Skyline arrives on Carisma's M48S platform and uses the same body style found on the M48S Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo. What sets this new model apart from its sibling is the unmistakable design and bright colors of the HKS livery that are splashed across the body.
From the teal, blue, and red markings to the hard-to-miss red sideview mirrors and white wheels, this 1/8-scale on-road machine will be hard to miss, whether in action or parked on a shelf. This model has a limited run of only 999, so if you want to add one to your collection, you'll have to act quickly.
The M48S HKS Nissan Skyline GT-R Gr.A is priced at $419.99 and is available at carisma-shop.com.
HPI Sport 3 Falken Tire Porsche 911 GT3 RSR
Swinging over to the Porsche 911 GT3 RSR, this model arrives from HPI in two configurations (brushed and brushless) and rides on the Sport 3 platform. The HPI Sport 3 Falken Tire Porsche 911 GT3 RSR is a 1/10-scale model that captures not only the 1:1 essence of this on-road race car, but brings back the same body and color scheme found on earlier HPI models.
Wrapped in the unmistakable Falken Tire teal and blue paint scheme, this car is a replica of the 2012 ALMS GT Championship race car.
Updated to utilize modern R/C tech, these new models feature HPI's TF-51 four-channel radio system with steering exponential, improved ergonomics, and a magnetized section to store body clips.
The HPI Sport 3 Falken Tire Porsche 911 GT3 RSR standard and Flux versions are available through HPI dealers.
