When I was a kid my parents took us all to a dealership to purchase a new minivan and the Viper had just come out. I was around 7 or 8 at the time and I was bored but doing my best to stay cooperative and I noticed in the glass case a small model of a black Dodge Viper and I couldn't keep my eyes off it. After a little while negotiating with my parents the salesman was between tasks and he walked over to the case and opened it. He grabbed the little Viper and handed it to me. I can't remember exactly what he said but I was so excited that he'd be so generous that I was immediately in love. I spent the next 5 years collecting Viper things and absolutely losing my mind whenever I saw one (very rare where I lived). I never stopped to think that other dealerships or manufacturers might make models of their cars for the same purpose. That's really cool to know I wasn't alone!
That’s so cool that you used a dealer promo model as a base for this RC! I love these style of Camaros, my dad used to have a white ‘83 when he was in college. Great build, always enjoy your content. Much love from Texas!
MPC did a great job on that promo body, and the stance and realistic suspension squat while driving is impressive. The dusty tire spinning shots looked real.
Ahh that car brings back some fond memories. Beautiful job on it, only thing that would have made it better is if tou would have made it and IROC-Z. I know they weren't made in 83, but I have a spot in my heart for the old iroc's.
As an owner of an 84 Z28 in real life I thought this was the coolest thing ever! Definitely would like to build a white version of this to display inside my 84 at car shows.
Pretty cool! I'm an, "Old School" model builder. I like how the suspension reacts. Here's a few suggestions. The car needs a torque bar. Also, using a, "toothpick" to paint the, "Z28" badges. I did an exact replica of my 1987 IROC-Z and I sold it for $200 bucks in 2000. I used to live in my room doing this. I wish I could share a picture. You would of FREAKED.
I love these rc cars. Used to play with these toys when I was a kid. Got older and got real cars, so much more fun. Love watching my son still play with these kids toys.
I had a Toy RC Camaro as a kid. If memory serves correct someone brought it back for me from Hong Kong. Awesome toy. Looked great and drove not too bad for a toy.
Awesome! Would love to see a more detailed version for sure! As for the engine, a stock, carbueted 305 L69 with the dual inlet intake ducts would be perfect.
I have a blue 87 z28 I bought when I was 17 and I'm 35 now and had in storage for years. I only put 2800 miles on it in all them years. Watching this makes me want to get it out again.
i just wanted you to know i give you absolute respect and what’s so cool is that what you did with the rc car. it looks EXACTLY like mine. down to every detail!
Third Gens are easily the most underappreciated and coolest cars ever built. Which is nice because you can still get a real one for a decent price. Only problem with most of them is that they were owned by people who liked to "bubba" their cars so most of them need a lot of work. But they are SO worth it.
Funny thing is, I’ve been seeing this video in my suggestions for the longest time. I’ve only been avoiding it because i thought it was an actual full sized Camaro converted into an RC. In other words yes, yes you did an amazing job. I have no regrets clicking on your video👌🏼
I used to use the plastic holder that all the parts snapped off of as roll bars and push bumpers on a bunch of creations I wish I still had all the model cars I built growing up thanks for bringing me back for a few
Excellent work! I haven't dived into detailed RC models like your build but I really appreciate the work you and other detailed rc builders do to get these machines to run!
@@MakeItRC I'm planning on building it using the '82 Z28 kit from Revell. It's basically the same body except for the flares in front of the rear tires. If you do build one, I would be interested in buying any of the parts you would need to print for the exterior. Like the front lights and bumper. Great channel, keep up the good work. 🤟🤠👍
Really outstanding, since you did such a great job with attention to detail I wanted to tell you about one important thing that's missing. It might not seem all that important, however 3rd gen people notice this everytime if it's not done, mostly on full scale cars. On the front ground effects where it's open that is always supposed to be painted black, many times when that gets re-painted, body shops sometimes forget to do that.
Do another one, and make the engine a cross fire. Those don't get enough love. If you want to make a big one, there's an old monogram 1/8 scale Camaro that comes with Indy pace car decals. I think that would be an awesome build.
MakeitRC this is absolutely freaking awesomeness AWESOME !! Can we please see more of the detailed build you mentioned? Great work man !! 👍👌💪 Looks beautiful.
I think the 2 black gods that are on either side of the rear license plate are supposed to be the backup light so they should be like an opaque white...... What an awesome build this looks so good I'm probably gonna have to sacrifice and build a couple of RC cars out of models I've already completed!!!🔄🙂👍
Love what your doing can't wait to get to point where ppl are basically using one of your kits in future as a actual full blown rc racing chassis and able to use any model car body and model car kits they want like 1/24 scale slot car racing and the possibilities will be endless and make for some really cool and super scale rc racing at your house where you can build like 6 of them put up a nice little mini z track in your garage or shop or house and a timing system and be able to race when your friends come over and having league racing
The 1/24 scale crawler market got huge, but it's had me itching to do a old school monster truck. Only have a pile of something like 50 1/25 scale models from when I was a kid. So plenty of options lol. Most of what I have now is 1/10 scale. But body options aren't as open in that world.
I really anticipated you would have shot some clear coat over the body. You'd have been able to get a really lifelike shine on the bodywork then. Time consuming though :-) Model looks amazing bombing around. You RCd it bringing it to life and improved the look of it about 762000%
Dealer promo cars are pretty durable and are more likely to survive a crash in my opinion. If using a model kit, glue the hood on and reinforce the body where needed.
Great job make it rc i am big (edit:really super fan of camaro model ) it's looks very much like the real one as your work dose justice to 3rd gen model with the 3d printed mirrors giving it nice touch anyway thanks for the video and have nice night bye now.
You need those chrome molotow markers bro \o/ They'd pop so good. Also you should totally show the build stage after the paint and prep stage, cause when i see how good you do up the car i can't -wait- to see it drivin around. Suspeeense
This was totally awesome to watch from start to finish. I have to learn how to do this so I can enjoy spending more time with my sons doing this hobby. It will bring us closer together.
Dig concept. Subscribed. How about boats. Small 12-24” (inch) plastic model kits like Pt-109 or battleships. Great to get all those dusty models into ponds.
Glad you liked it. I'm finishing up a full build video featuring my first 1/24 scale 4x4 model to RC truck build. You might be interested in that project. It should be ready within a month or two. 👍
Thanks for watching everyone! This video took awhile to edit so I'm very happy to finally share it with all of you. 👍
❤❤❤
Is it possible to make an RC version out of some of my 1:18 scale model cars by Kyosho & Bburago? 🤔
@@gustav_a.mozumder2011 Probably, might need a bit different drivetrain solution though as it's a much larger & heavier model you'll be working with.
Turned out awesome! Nice job! Looks so cool too
Comment 👨🔧
That burnout at 22:37 really looks like the actual car. Awesome work, man!
yah that looks legit.
Put the Sound of V8
Ever since I was a kid, I've always wanted to convert a model to rc. Awesome job! wouldn't mind seeing a detailed one done!
The slow motion burnouts look like a real car, nice.
Looks like she came right out of my childhood!!
When I was a kid my parents took us all to a dealership to purchase a new minivan and the Viper had just come out.

i love the slo mo burn outs and how the chassis act like its under actual load from the torque converter just like the real car. nice detail
MPC did a great job on that promo body, and the stance and realistic suspension squat while driving is impressive. The dusty tire spinning shots looked real.

84 z28 owner here... youve done justice to this car. Excellent job
Love your videos they really help with my anxiety
Crazy for how small of a model it is, it looks so realistic and I love it!
I'd really like to see you build an older 911. With the battery on the very rear for realistic weight.
rear motor chassis are already on the market, like 3racing sakura d5 RR
The body is actually very very accurate and well detailed.

Can’t believe how real the burnout looked rat down to the tire shaking lol great work
Awesome! Would love to see a more detailed version for sure!
As for the engine, a stock, carbueted 305 L69 with the dual inlet intake ducts would be perfect.
More then a few of these cars if they’re still around have had LS swaps. I’ve personally done 3 of them
Its so good that looks like a real life sized when in the set
I have a blue 87 z28 I bought when I was 17 and I'm 35 now and had in storage for years. I only put 2800 miles on it in all them years. Watching this makes me want to get it out again.
i just wanted you to know i give you absolute respect and what’s so cool is that what you did with the rc car. it looks EXACTLY like mine. down to every detail!
like all the details you added and hell even the raised rearend😂

lol That's funny and a huge compliment as well. Thank you!
i actually use to own this model, it was a 92 25th anniversary camaro. it sounded really nice with a flowmaster but this rc looks phenominal
I used to use the plastic holder that all the parts snapped off of as roll bars and push bumpers on a bunch of creations I wish I still had all the model cars I built growing up thanks for bringing me back for a few
This here is my favorite generation of camaro. I'm currently building a 82' z28
I think a LS swap and a very detailed engine bay would be badass
Looks fantastic. I've got one of those AMT IROC models. I should build mini of my 85 IROC.
That outside track was cool, very atmospheric with the sandy road you made. Great build.
So, I am a diehard third gen guy, and this is the coolest video I have ever seen.
No words to describe, very very nice job, fantastic, I`m in love of this tiny jewel! keep posting more videos from this model and the others you have.
First time seeing this kind of conversion. Beautiful, all of it!
I had an 87 IROC. What a blast.
Excellent work! I haven't dived into detailed RC models like your build but I really appreciate the work you and other detailed rc builders do to get these machines to run!
Awesome brother. 🤟🤠👍If your not familiar with the Ghost Camaro, look into it. You will want to build it.
Thank you. That would be an awesome build. Not only a cool car but the story behind it is incredible.
@@MakeItRC I'm planning on building it using the '82 Z28 kit from Revell. It's basically the same body except for the flares in front of the rear tires.

I built slot cars out of 1/25 models. This is very cool!!! Yes it can be done with more details!!! Built a 87 buick grand national
This build is cool. I’d like to see you paint the car fully and do a more detailed build.
Do another one, and make the engine a cross fire. Those don't get enough love. If you want to make a big one, there's an old monogram 1/8 scale Camaro that comes with Indy pace car decals. I think that would be an awesome build.
MakeitRC this is absolutely freaking awesomeness AWESOME !! Can we please see more of the detailed build you mentioned? Great work man !! 👍👌💪 Looks beautiful.
Thank you! Yes, I'm finally finishing up a 85 Trans Am that has a full interior and more detail. Stay tuned for that video. 👍
Beautiful upgrades to that model!!
I think the 2 black gods that are on either side of the rear license plate are supposed to be the backup light so they should be like an opaque white...... What an awesome build this looks so good I'm probably gonna have to sacrifice and build a couple of RC cars out of models I've already completed!!!🔄🙂👍
That car looks awesome.
Makes me miss my 91 Camaro RS.
The red n Silver go great together for this car.
I have one!! It’s a teal z28 and I want to turn it into an RC now so I can match my actual car 😄 it’ll be so cool to have an RC identical to my car
i have a 1994 blazer with those same wheels this finished RC Car has, i love that style of wheel.
Whoaaaaaa so realistic THANK YOU 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
If there was a 1982 Trans am firebird to build as a rc car 🤩
Awesome accuracy, it has axle hop just like the real deal lol.
Love what your doing can't wait to get to point where ppl are basically using one of your kits in future as a actual full blown rc racing chassis and able to use any model car body and model car kits they want like 1/24 scale slot car racing and the possibilities will be endless and make for some really cool and super scale rc racing at your house where you can build like 6 of them put up a nice little mini z track in your garage or shop or house and a timing system and be able to race when your friends come over and having league racing
I have a 87 I daily, love this build
This looks absolutely amazing
Yes Please 🙏 that would be Amazing. It would be great for my birthday. It and me both turn 40 next year 😭😭😭😭😉
Amazing, just awesomeness! Ready to see a chassis for those G-bodies now!
Fingers crossed for a restock soon!

If you modify the chassis from the promo car , you could use the screws that held it on originally, cool build 👍
93 cobra w open hood will be sick
Matt Trakker would be proud!
Amazing no rust!
Lol - Lovin' the slow-mo burnouts!
This is awesome I’m currently making a Napa toy s10 into a rc
coolest rc build vid i've seen in a long time. awesome. would be prefect with with working headlights and tails.
Another well done, inspiring video! makes me want to put a kit together.
I love this and I think you should do a model with an original Chevy small block
Damn I really want that Camaro RC!
I HAVE THIS CAR IRL as a project car AWESOME
Great build 👏 love that raido link transmitter got one myself after watching your videos it and always reliable 😀.
I miss my 86 Iroc Great build
Looks really awesome! I love old IROCs. If you can get your hands on a Firebird body, you should do a Knight Rider KITT build.
Welp, I just had a look at your channel & saw you're already working on a KITT. Rad! I hope there will be a long-form video when its complete.
Man just looking at it run,
Looks good 👍, reminds me of the 1990 Camaro o used to drive sometime ago.
Same color combo as mine!! Love it
Fantastic build! I love it. The base of the model was pretty good too, but you made a diamond from it. 👍👍👍
I really anticipated you would have shot some clear coat over the body. You'd have been able to get a really lifelike shine on the bodywork then. Time consuming though :-) Model looks amazing bombing around. You RCd it bringing it to life and improved the look of it about 762000%
Try put springs on the steering rod stopper for self center
Thats super awesome !! Would love to see some jdm builds
I have an ertl one, the same tooling as the promo cars. But now I need to make mine RC now.
Dealer promo cars are pretty durable and are more likely to survive a crash in my opinion. If using a model kit, glue the hood on and reinforce the body where needed.

I absolutely NEED THIS

Dig concept. Subscribed. How about boats. Small 12-24” (inch) plastic model kits like Pt-109 or battleships. Great to get all those dusty models into ponds.
I wonder when hes gonna make an rc KITT with that chassis
This is really cool to watch. I love old Camaros!! Could you possibly do a truck? I wanna make one of my truck but i dont know how it would look.
Glad you liked it. I'm finishing up a full build video featuring my first 1/24 scale 4x4 model to RC truck build. You might be interested in that project. It should be ready within a month or two. 👍
@@MakeItRC ooh. Can’t wait!
Looks sharp
I wanna do a hot rod🤗 these kits look awesome
next time you do one you should use one of those tiny V8 engines and try to make a workong gearbox
So so so cool!!!!!
Great job
I would love to see a 68,69 Charger conversion.
A lowrider with hydraulics would be awesome
I made a 4th gen Camaro out of one of those wltoys they fit really well
At least he got the sun-faded, oxidization spot-on!
so cool to watch! hey what kind of filter do you have on the back of your paint box?
