R246 BMW M3 Autoscales

surprised i'm the first to post this but route 246 planning has released some new racing livery BMW M3 autoscales that are simply awsome!

david is checking to see how long it will take to get these in the shop here.

Do I see fender flares on those Bimmers? They look great, but I wonder how wide they are up front. The old ASC was a little too narrow to be useable on an MR02. Tires would peel constantly.

I will have to get #42 or 21 regardless. They all look great, but those two are calling my name.

Those look fantastic! I'll definitely be picking one up once they hit the shop.

Any idea if they're planning on releasing the whitebody?

It looks to be 0 offset wheels on them if the Google translator is correct.

thanks for sharing... nice to see new bodies... love the livery... but don't know if it's just me, i'm just not feeling the rear spoilers/wing... i just think they're a bit big, kinda off scale... it kinda sits there and kinda shouts out at you... rear wing!!!.... but again that's just me...

Nice looking bodies! But they don't look as tall as the ASC M3s. Could they have used a different mold?

I'd like to know more about Route 246. Is it part of Kyosho?

i doubt it is a new mold. it does not appear to be any larger fender flairs than the original.

yes, the original is narrow for an mr-02 however with the a-arm i'm sure it will run much better.
i ran the m3 on my mr-03 with the wide front end for a couple weeks and the tires did not peel at all. it's still a bit top heavy and will traction roll at the end of a long straight into a turn if you don't let up off it but it was great fun to get a nice looking autoscale out on the track that doesn't tend to get used much for racing.

Not my piece of cake. Proportions are not correct because this is a streetcar with big wing. Great they make livery's, but this car should be wide just like the real thing.
