[OpelAl]

anyone know where one can be purchased?

Ive never seen one, but i have a 1/18th scale RC car that i was thinking of putting into a similar sized GT model...

Not sure where to buy one, but here is a pretty long list of toy GT's , including several RC - see scales of 1/18 and larger:

OPEL GT TOY CARS

There are plenty of model cars on German Ebay - eBay: Neue und gebrauchte Elektronikartikel, Autos, Kleidung, Sammlerstücke, Sportartikel und mehr ? alles zu günstigen Preisen
Maybe you'll find a RC there.

Ive seen the list , that is where I saw a radio control one , but cant find one to purchase. Let me know how that comes out with placing model car shell on a rc

[yellaopelgt]

I thought a few years ago, there was someone on here making them???? I believe he was outside the U.S. Do a search....maybe it will come up.

I could build one if I had all the parts. I build lots of RC things for fun. Maybe I will give it a shot. I will take a look at the models and RC cars I can get that are that scale. What did you have in mind just something to tinker with or did you want it with some giddy-up?

There are some vintage Opel GT with cable controller in the scale 1/14, 1/16, 1/10, 1/12 and GFK or Lexan bodies in scale 1/12 and 1/10 which fits to a plain Tamiya R/C chassis. Some examples see attached

Tamiya has a newer line of built radio control cars. A 1/10 scale M-03 ( Mini Cooper body) chassis worked perfectly with an old Carson Opel GT body.
Carson is still making these clear bodies with a thinner plastic. They are available on German Ebay. The Tamiya chassis with body can be purchased in the US. I bought mine on line.

If you are interested in the older cable controlled Opel GTs you can obtain them from someone in Europe. I know a very reliable person that frequently has them for sell or you can take your chances on Ebay.

the radio controled car , would that be without a cable?
would appreciate it if you ever see or can point me in right direction either from who you know or from ebay, cause I really dont know where to begin. thankyou

The Tamiya radio controlled car does not use a cable. The cable type cars were made in the 70's.
Here is a link to the one I am using.
Tamiya America Item #57742 | RC RTR Mini Cooper - M03

Here is a link to a Carson Opel GT on Germany Ebay

Hi, I'm the one who makes the 1:10 fiberglass GT. In this thread ther is a link wher you can see this pic: http://members.aol.com/chrissiewert/bellen.jpg

The owner bought it as a kit from me. it's possible to make an RC GT. But it's made from fiberglass, it's more "fragile" as a lexan body.


Or try this link to a thread I added some time ago: http://www.opelgt.com/forums/models/...gt-models.html

My own RC attempt 13 years ago:


This model is about 43 cm long, made of fiberglass and the windows are made with a lexan related material. I also make an interior and an original bottom for the body. With this interior there will be no space left for RC components. All handmade;designed/moulded/laminated.
