Renault R8 SCX

Post by wixwacing »

If, like the 'Red Team' you are heavily into classic rally and sedans then you may well not be able to go past this model. Not a contender but a great model from one of the great manufacturers. I look forward to having this in my display cabinet (when its not racing)!

I'm out in the back yard, burning food!!

When I win, it's because of my talent, not my car or my controller!

Phil i have been looking forward to this as well.
It`s boxy but good, now i know that relates to another brand of car , but it suits this.
SCORCHIO!!
For some reason i now take a particular interest in all things Renault.
hmmmm! wonder why?

A Le Mans Alpine - Renault A441/442 would be a welcome addition if someone were to make on.

But only if they wait long enough !

The waiting is the hardest part......

Just to follow up, here are a couple of links to SCX's Spanish language home site.


Morgan Aero 8


Renault 8


Interesting to note for the few who don't speak Spanish, the Renault is listed as having a compact RX4 motor??? Is that to be an FF type??? And the Morgan is listed as having stub axles at the front??!! A la FLY??


We shall see
