Wasn't someone looking for one of these? I know anything about the quality yet, but I just happened to come across this:

The price is right, but I'm sure it's not as good as Autoart. I'm probably going to order one soon to check it out. I need more toys.

 

Thanks for sharing the find! I'd given up trying to find one with track wheels.

Do you think they might start making little tiny aftermarket parts so we could build exact replicas of our cars?

 

Funny. A track with burnt orange leather.

 

I just spent $12 on a mustang model because the wheels look similar to my iforged. If I ever get around to building my 1/24 scale Tamiya, I'm gonna adapt those wheels to it.

 

It must be shrio special's touring/track droid!

 

edit:

wow. thats pretty cool. but road legends? hmm.

 

They're made by Yat Ming.

If they knew about this site, they would!

It's just a question of money. Give them enough, and they'll put any seat you want in any model.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention they're from RL/Yat Ming. Do they have a repuation? Because I've never heard of 'em.

 

Here's some more pics. I wonder how does the quality compare to the Hotwheels version?

well it looks (in the pictures) like those have the brakes mounted in the correct location. The Hotwheels ones I have seen (own two) have had the brakes mounted incorrectly.

 

The Daytona Blue looks good. Actually looks more like DB than the Hotwheel one. I'll have to double check though. Quality looks okay for the price.

The actual diecasting of the Road Signature models are very close to the autoarts in terms of quality and scale accuracy. The paint jobs are usually very good too. I have not seen the road signature versions in person so can not say for sure how these ones are. In my opinion the exterior of the RS are much better than the Hotwheels, however in interiors may not be as detailed. I think cost on these to distributors is like $16-17.

 

Ok just got off the phone with my friend. The price he would give me is $17 per Road Signature 350Z model. I will sell to anyone who wants one for $20 plus shipping. Essentially this is to pay for the trouble to buy, pack and ship. Fed Ex second day air is approx $5-7 depending on where you live. No sales tax, etc. Blue and silver available.

I saw that ebay ad, what's with buy now for $30? That's almost double the purchase price. and $10 for shipping?

If anyones interested PM me. I will start another post for this.

 

>> I think cost on these to distributors is like $16-17.

That sounds right because I've seen them from $21 to $24 plus shipping.

Good deal!

 

I have track with orange leather

 

I just got one of these in DB.

Compared to Hot Wheels it's better in some areas but worse in others...

The Track wheels are too small in scale. They look like 17's or smaller.

The car's ride height is too high... looks like it's lifted a scale height of about 1".

The door handles are chrome and look cheesy.

The side view mirrors are to thin vertically.

Everything else is pretty good. This one has a rear opening hatch whereas the HotWheels does not.

Interior is good. Almost identical to HotWheels.


Overall the HotWheels is the better model.

I'm going to take this thing apart and see if I can lower it some.

some pics below....





YIKES! look how high it sits.....!!

 

Could this be the 2005 Z with AWD? AllRoads 350Z?

 

Thanks for the review, N74DV. I was wondering how it stacked up to the Hotwheels, now I know.

PS. How does the paint quality compare to the Hotwheels?

 

Yeah, thanks for the pics!
