Tamiya, a Japanese model kit company, also makes some decent RC cars. An RC kit they made for a short time is based upon a standard chassis called the M-03L with a Toyota bB body. The problem is that it was a limited production run. Tamiya still produces this very fun chassis with a Mini Cooper body, but they don’t sell just the bB body as a separate item.

This is where your help is needed. I would like to start an e-mail campaign to persuade Tamiya to produce and sell just the body and offer them for sell in the US. If enough people show an interest they can be convinced to produce the body since they already have the mold and it is an opportunity to sell more M-03L kits.

If you go to the link above you should see a “How may we help you?” on the left had side of the page. Enter your email (you won’t get any junk mail back I promise) and ask for information on how to order just the body. Tell them you are a big fan of the xB and if they would sell only the body since the kit has been discontinued. Use your own words and it will carry more influence that just a cut and paste.

Thanks for your help.
