Build the R34 you've always known by heart. Every bolt. Then watch it run.
The Skyline GTR R34 is one of the most obsessed-over cars ever made. Capo spent 10 years engineering the RC model it deserves โ and made it possible to build one yourself, piece by piece, with your own hands.
This is not a display model. It runs.
Most scale models of iconic cars end up behind glass. This one goes on the road. You build it yourself โ every suspension arm, every shock absorber, every interior detail โ 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 โ 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.
Every part, every layer โ watch it come together.
This animation shows exactly how hundreds of components stack into a complete R34 โ 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.
Every builder remembers these.
Every arm, every joint โ exactly where it should be.
The suspension geometry is scaled directly from the real R34. Front and rear independent arms, real coilover shocks with infinitely adjustable damping โ 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 same material they use in drones and aerospace.
The body panels are magnesium alloy โ 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.
Open the door. Then try to remember it's 1/8 scale.
A steering wheel that actually links to the front axle. A gear shifter. A clutch. Brake pedal, throttle, dashboard โ 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 โ the stuff most RC brands assume nobody will see.
The RB26 bay, reproduced. Your motor goes exactly where the real one sat.
The engine bay is a full replica of the R34's iconic RB26DETT layout. The motor housing, the intake runners, the valve cover lines โ 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 โ and it's accurate.
Built to a standard, not a price.

Inside the box
This is a KIT version โ 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.
Capo GTR Skyline R34
Build it yourself. Then run it. That's the point.
Everything you need to know before you order.
Wait โ does this actually come with everything I need to run it?
Not quite. The kit includes the full chassis, body, interior, suspension, gearbox, shocks, rubber tyres, and all hardware โ 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.
I've never built a kit like this before. Is it going to destroy me?
Honestly? It's not a weekend starter kit. Capo built this for people who like the build as much as the drive โ 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 โ 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.
What electronics should I get? I don't want to guess wrong on a $2,400 build.
Fair concern. Here's the exact Capo-spec list:
| Motor | 550-class brushless, 1800โ3300KV |
| ESC | >80A brushless (or brushed) |
| Steering servo | 26โ40kg ยท standard size ยท high-torque |
| Linkage servo ร2 | 9โ18g ยท aeromodelling ยท metal gear |
| Shift servo | 9โ18g ยท aeromodelling ยท metal gear |
| Battery | 11.1V 3S short-body LiPo |
| Remote | Grip wheel type ยท 4-ch minimum ยท up to 9-ch for OP functions |
| Lighting (optional) | R34 HUB KIT + 2ร 25cm extension cables |
Our electronics kit bundles exactly the right components in Basic and Advanced versions โ no compatibility headaches.
Can this thing actually drift, or is that just marketing?
It actually drifts. The included rubber tyres are for flat-run โ 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 โ first gear for punch out of corners, second for top-end. It's genuinely set up for both styles, not just one.
Is this really limited? Or is that just something brands say?
This one's real. It's Capo Studio's 10th anniversary edition โ 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.
I'm in the US. Am I going to get hit with import taxes on top of the price?
Nope. All US orders ship tax-free โ 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 7โ14 business days to the US, with a tracking number sent as soon as it ships.
What happens if something arrives broken or I mess up the build?
Reach out โ 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.
If the R34 got you, this one might too.
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 โ fully assembled, electric start, and built to actually run. If you know, you know.
