Honda S2000 Conversion

I bought an Alfa Romeo a while back, but I really don't like driving it. A couple of guys at my work have S2000’s so I wanted to show them how good the Tamiya kits are. (and if I got someone else bitten by the RC bug, that would be an added bonus).

The Alfa uses the 60D wheels, but the S2000 uses GT sized wheels, I found someone in the UK that had the S2000 wheels (but realized later that Tamiya has them #0445588 doh!)... I had some spare Racing Semi-Slicks (50810) so I put those on.

The Alfa is M04M and the S2000 is M04L, so I needed the little piece that goes between the gearbox and the main body, this comes with the M04 F Parts (50851).

So, do I like driving the M04L in S2000 form better than the Alfa? No, not really, I think I need to spend some time on the setup, it still wants to swap ends all the time…
