Real race car or R/C car?

For those of us unable to afford a multi-million dollar car collection, scale and remote control cars offer a more affordable outlet that somewhat sates the desire for the real thing.

Usually enthusiasts like in one of the two camps, preferring the static scale models or the ability to drive and race electrically-powered replicas. Enthusiast Adrian, who goes by the name Kuhfarben on the website TamiyaBase.com, is a mixture of both, however.

Adrian adds real metal brake discs, full roll cages, painted interiors, adjusts wheel fitment, makes his own exhaust systems and much more in an effort to make these incredible models a spitting image of the real thing.

Here are a few of our favourites.
