Wondering if it is 100% the same as the one in the 80's.
They are popping up everywere.

For the last 2 years a am tying to find all the parts to make a Newbuild Toyota Celica Turbo. But might as well go for the 936 as it seams to be easier.



Cheers.

Yes, I noticed last week. Kind of took me by surprise
I would guess the body is more or less the same as the original one, but I do not know. Tamiya usually changes some minor details when reissuing bodysets.

You know that the Toyota Celica LB bodyset was also reissued a couple of years ago? Now in white plastic and the chrome parts are no longer chrome, only white.

Pretty sure it didn't get announced - but it's thanks to the RM-01.

Edit - actually, it's kinda weird that there's no trace of it here :

I think this is one of their "Event Special" releases, that do not get announced, but come as a surprise to those who visit Tamiya "events".
Cool way to attract people

Comparing dimensions against Lars' database, it looks like the wheelbase is 7mm off.
That might be the biggest issue fitting the RM-01 shell on a CS chassis...
Anyone tried it yet?

Was wondering if this rere 936 shell will fit my Celica CS chassis?

What about the body post and wheelbase..

any ideas?

My guess would be it fits. Can't imagine they made a new mold...
And this is what Stella has to say about it :

They wrote:

This body can be used with a chassis that has a 201mm wheelbase - such as #58006
... requires making holes on body according to body mount positions.

No holes means you wouldn't have to do any mods if the mounting places are different...
But some practical confirmation from someone would be great of course.

Hmm, sounds good, i think i'll order one then!

It's a classic, and atm a great chance to own one of those beauties
