I know that some RC model car bodies such as those made by Tamiya come with Side Mirrors. As far as I know Tamiya is the only one that does this, although there maybe others.

The Exhaust Pipes that you are referring to are mostly custom made using regular AA batteries that are cut..

Not sure on the windshield wipers, i'm still waiting on RS to post up his info on how he made his EVO look so real.


This is a link to someone from the boards site, it has alot of good info on it, regarding some of the questions you just asked, hope it helps

Well if you have a micro its easy.
~Exaust - Companies make them (not sure who but they're out there)
~Windshield Wipers - off of a normal 1/24th scale kit (sounds wierd, but they do work)
~Mirrors - Yet again, off another model kit.
Well that's only if you have a micro rs4. If you don't then I can't help you.

peace

people custom make all the little concourse pieces out of styrene that you can get at your local hobby shop. they sell all different sizes and shapes allowing you to make anything you want with a little creativity. also, as mentioned earlier, look around for anything from models and such for pieces for your car.

good luck
