Default 993 Remote Control car

A friend sent me this link, no affiliation to the seller.

http://columbus.craigslist.org/spo/2240553012.html

Even in Speed Yellow.

Looks like it's set to US ride height, you may want to install some ROW springs on it.

Kidding aside, it does look like fun, & it also looks big.

US? Heck, that's full blown Paris to Dakar Rally ride height.

These are a few images from the Tamiya R/C site. This is their Taisan Starcard and PIAA GT2 R/C models that they released in 1996 that features the short wheelbase chassis. Now discontinued, there are still some in shops or available occasionally on EBay. I picked up a couple a few years ago and haven't had time to paint up. I think the best looking R/C Porsche model ever done.

Wow, those look really good. Might have to keep my eye out for one.

I believe the one posted in the Craigslist ad is closer to 1/8th or 1/5th scale-the Tamiya kits are smaller at 1/10 and are great-I have built a few of them.
