The Skyline GTR R34 is one of the most obsessed-over cars ever made. Capo spent 10 years engineering the RC model it deserves — and made it possible to build one yourself, piece by piece, with your own hands.
Most scale models of iconic cars end up behind glass. This one goes on the road. You build it yourself — every suspension arm, every shock absorber, every interior detail — and then you put it on the ground and drive it hard.
The R34's legendary RB26 engine bay is fully reproduced in the chassis. Your motor sits exactly where the real one would. The 2-speed gearbox shifts like the real car. The pin-valve shocks are infinitely tunable, just like the real car. When it moves, it moves like an R34 moves — because it was built like one.
This is what happens when a brand spends 10 years getting obsessed about the same things JDM fans do.
This animation shows exactly how hundreds of components stack into a complete R34 — chassis to body, suspension to interior. Watch it once and you'll understand why experienced builders call this the most engineered kit at this scale.
The build process isn't just a means to an end. It's a big part of why people buy this.
The suspension geometry is scaled directly from the real R34. Front and rear independent arms, real coilover shocks with infinitely adjustable damping — you can tune this thing the same way engineers tune the full-size car. Nothing is simplified for the sake of assembly. Everything moves the way it should.
The body panels are magnesium alloy — not ABS, not die-cast zinc. Magnesium is lighter than aluminum, and structurally stiffer than most plastics at any thickness. The moment you pick up the chassis, you understand why this costs what it costs. It doesn't feel like a model. It feels like a component.
A steering wheel that actually links to the front axle. A gear shifter. A clutch. Brake pedal, throttle, dashboard — all reproduced at scale and all functional-looking in a way that makes people stop mid-conversation. This is the detail Capo is obsessive about — the stuff most RC brands assume nobody will see.
The engine bay is a full replica of the R34's iconic RB26DETT layout. The motor housing, the intake runners, the valve cover lines — all detailed. Your brushless motor slots in where the twin-turbo inline-6 would be. The 2-speed gearbox connects to it exactly as a real transmission would. It's not decorative. It's structural — and it's accurate.

This is a KIT version — the complete frame and body are included. Electronics are sold separately, and we've matched the right package for this chassis so you don't have to guess.
Build it yourself. Then run it. That's the point.
Not quite. The kit includes the full chassis, body, interior, suspension, gearbox, shocks, rubber tyres, and all hardware — basically the entire car, minus the electronics. Motor, ESC, servos, battery, and remote are sold separately.
We put together a matched electronics package starting at $369.99 so you don't have to figure out compatibility yourself. Grab both and you're good to go.
Honestly? It's not a weekend starter kit. Capo built this for people who like the build as much as the drive — it takes time, patience, and some comfort with RC basics like binding a receiver, setting up servos, and wiring an ESC.
If you've built a kit RC before, you'll handle it. If this would be your first, expect a learning curve — but the kind that's genuinely satisfying when you put it on the ground and it runs. Our team is here to help if you get stuck.
Fair concern. Here's the exact Capo-spec list:
| Motor | 550-class brushless, 1800–3300KV |
| ESC | >80A brushless (or brushed) |
| Steering servo | 26–40kg · standard size · high-torque |
| Linkage servo ×2 | 9–18g · aeromodelling · metal gear |
| Shift servo | 9–18g · aeromodelling · metal gear |
| Battery | 11.1V 3S short-body LiPo |
| Remote | Grip wheel type · 4-ch minimum · up to 9-ch for OP functions |
| Lighting (optional) | R34 HUB KIT + 2× 25cm extension cables |
Our electronics kit bundles exactly the right components in Basic and Advanced versions — no compatibility headaches.
It actually drifts. The included rubber tyres are for flat-run — real grip, realistic feel on pavement. Swap to OP hard plastic drift tyres (sold separately) and it'll break traction on demand and hold a slide through corners.
The 2-speed gearbox does a lot of the work here — first gear for punch out of corners, second for top-end. It's genuinely set up for both styles, not just one.
This one's real. It's Capo Studio's 10th anniversary edition — not a standard product line item. The first run (Midnight Purple II colorway) sold out fast. There's no guarantee of restocks or a next batch. If it's gone, it's gone.
Nope. All US orders ship tax-free — no import duties, no surprise charges at your door. Shipping is free, and orders go out from our Hong Kong warehouse. You're typically looking at 7–14 business days to the US, with a tracking number sent as soon as it ships.
Reach out — we'll fix it. Our after-sales team knows Capo products specifically, not just RC in general. If something arrives damaged, we'll replace it. If you hit a wall during the build, contact us and we'll walk you through it. We also have build guides and troubleshooting resources for common issues.
The inline-6 is the soul of JDM performance. The R34 had one. So did another legend. The Enjomor GS-L6 is a 1/5 scale, 28cc, water-cooled DOHC gasoline engine — fully assembled, electric start, and built to actually run. If you know, you know.
