If you want to bring your 1/24 or 1/25 scale plastic model car to life, this project is a great way to get started. Utilizing one of our basic FP UC1 chassis kits, this Trans Am is both looking and driving great! As much as I enjoy the many projects on this channel that emphasize life-like scale realism, my goal for this video is to showcase a simple model car to RC conversion that would be well suited to newer hobbyists. Whether you're building a Trans Am just I've done here, or choose a different model kit, with a little custom work, you can have a great looking RC car that's lots of fun to drive! I've done my best to give a thorough overview of this project, and showcase all of the components used. Below you'll find either names/part numbers, or direct links to all the products used. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment or send a message. 👍
