Hiya Jeff, I can say if the price was within reason it would be something I would be interested in. Being a model builder and adding RC to the mix would just increase the enjoyment factor. One of the biggest things I have run into in trying to do this exact thing is the cost of a readily available chassis. Not so much a RTR chassis but a kit. There was a company making some similar to the Mini-Z chassis but they were made of a clear plastic. I wanted to order some but at the time they were sold out and never seemed to come back in stock. They had a lot of options as far as adjusting the chassis to fit different bodies which was what I liked about them. Cost wise the rollers were in the $30.00 range and seemed reasonable to me. I have stayed away from the Mini-Z stuff purely because of the cost. I just can't spending that kind of money for something I just want to run in the house. No one around here in Michigan that I know runs anything this size so racing isnt even a thought.
