Gallery>> Mini Mtp

The Speedhunters Facebook page has been taking a life of its own lately. Our readers have been posting up photos of their own cars or cool videos they've created or have come across on their internet journeys. Every so often, our readers post up photos of RC drift cars that they're building to look like the two Team Need for Speed drift cars. 

Just recently, we came across this amazing RC drift car built by Markus Busch of Matt Powers' own S14. Notice that the 665 has a piece of tape covering the the loop of the 5 to look like a 6 –exactly like Matt's real life car!

The likeness to its real life counter part is really something to behold. Its hard to tell the difference between the real car and the RC car with a quick glance!

Here's the real MTP-mobile (that's Matthew Tyler Powers for those wondering what MTP stood for…). Markus' reproduction of all the stickers on Matt's car is just astonishing. The placement of the Crap Eyewear sticker on the headlight is a perfect example of Markus' seemingly obsessive-compulsiveness on the build. 

The attention to detail is just staggering…

Here's Matt Powers' actual rear fender/bumper for comparison with Markus' RC model. Amazing. 

Even Matt's purple roll cage was added. 

If you pay really close attention you'll noticed that the photos taken of the car outside are a bit older. It seems that Markus added on more stickers as Matt added stickers to his own car! 

Markus, we tip our hat to you.

Damn that's a bad ass build.



I've been out of RC for a few years but have wanted to get back in with a nitro road car. I'd love to do a Falken Mustang but I've always sucked with fancy paint.
