Our buddy Andrew Hillman from HPI Racing just sent us a photo of this tough looking AE86 RC car from a local scale drift gathering held over the weekend.

Get a load of the details on this thing! I especially dig the bent license plate.

I definitely need to make a point to get out to one of these events for myself soon...

@AE71-4AGZE: There are TE27 shells out there, but no E7 models.

@Speedhunters crew: You should check out the D1RC World Championship next year at Snetterton. Huge event with all the styles from all over Europe and even some other continents

I came out of the mall one time to find that someone had bent my lisence plate up just like this one, what is that about? does it have a meaning or was someone just screwing with me.
