The 1/6th car is a battery RC I found on E-bay, used. As far as detail and scale accuracy I have my doubts, but it cost less delivered than the new Tamiya 1/24 cars. I really like the Rock West stuff, but Carbon Fiber is way out of reach, unless I use it to reinforce my fiberglass joints. I have spent 20+ years in the past building off road buggy's and trucks, headers, roll cages, etc. Fitting several round tubes into a good joint is "exacting", to say the least, much less getting a good weld all the way around. I did some air-flow bench work for a local Pro Stock Drag team and the driver did his own fitting and TIG welding. I wish I had taken photos of his welds, it was ART. Thanks for all you help!
