Review of a 2023 AO Racing "Rexy" Porsche 911 GT3 in 1/43 scale by TSM.

[@brentritchie6199]

Love Rexy! Great job

[@markzebr6463]

Much thanks for the positive feedback.

[@homie-gtv322]

I love this car.

[@markzebr6463]

It is a very cool livery. 😎 Good news is that Hot Whhels, IXO and Mini GT are coming out with models making it more affordable and accessible to all. Thanks for watching.

[@homie-gtv322]

@markzebr6463 I'll do Mini GT. I don't care for Hot Wheels. I ordered this in 1/18 by Top Speed.

[@motoalex3760]

Congrats on the 1k Mark! Well Deserved.

[@markzebr6463]

Thank you so much 😀

[@ston3dap328]

Awesome video and narration 👍👍

[@markzebr6463]

Thank you for the kind words..Glad you enjoyed. If your a collector of race cars, I have about 250 videos of great cars in many different scales.

[@Tom_Hadler]

Great strategy on the signatures btw, I totally agree

[@markzebr6463]

I was surprised at how many people I saw having the wrong drivers signing the car. If I had gone to more trouble I could have even got the correct drivers to sign if I could have dug up Gunner.

[@albertomegapro]

Congrats on getting 1k, you will get more!!!!!!!

[@markzebr6463]

Thanks Alberto. Your are one those helping in happen.

[@andymuggeridge7588]

Congrats on the 1K Mark.

[@markzebr6463]

Thanks Andy. I remember when I was shocked to have 100.

[@diecastandcars]

Very nice model. Very strong machine. Video full of very interesting information !

[@markzebr6463]

Thanks once again. Always great to hear from you.

Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe

[@markzebr6463]

Thanks for subscribing. I wish everyone would let me know so that I can personally welcome you. I review mostly 1/43 scale GT and Prototypes once weekly on late Thursday EST or Friday AM, always as I acquire about (4) cars every month. In-between I may special videos, always involving cars. I have a library of over 350 cars, 1/64, 1/43. 1/24 (NASCAR) and (2) 1/18. I attend about (6) IMSA, SRO or WEC races each year. I will do paddock reviews at each event. The last one at Sebring received over 20,000 views (their were about 6 reviews total). Thanks again for tuning it. I will always reply to any comment (even if I have over 100 as at Sebring).

[@homie-gtv322]

Hey, why does the 1/18 have some kind of ring on the center caps of the wheels? The 1/43s don't.

[@markzebr6463]

as I haven't seen the 1/18, I couldn't tell you. Good news is that 1/18 scale models typically exhibit more detail than 1/43. That's a good thing, in my opinion. Detail does matter Congrats Remind me again of who makes your model? Email me at [e-mail] with pictures. I would love to see it.

[@patito8728]

I wanted to see this car in model form for a long time, congrats, it is amazing mark and uve done a great job reviewing it. don't want to be booed for that but i think i prefer this newer generation compared to the gte even tho im not sure if theyre really comparable. I will soon be back on my pc to do some videos as my new gpu arrives soon. Two models on the way for me, including an ignition model skyline r31.

[@markzebr6463]

Good to hear from you again. I too have a new computer coming as well. I do miss the GTE. The Porsche 911 RSR was the best sounding car ever. However, the manufacturers didn't support them any more and the GT3 brought IMSA and the WEC together. Not a bad thing.

[@car-models_for_everyone]

❤❤❤

[@markzebr6463]

Thanks. Its great model. Toronto Motorsports sold out, re-ordered and marked the price 10.00usd higher. They still haven't received any cars.

[@albertomegapro]

It got announced by MiniGT for 1/64 scale

[@markzebr6463]

The team is more excited by the Hot Wheels release as it will be accessible to a much larger audience.

[@Booster_Diecast]

Congrats on 1k!! Such a great milestone! I think the headlamps are supposed to be the eyes and the red circles on either side of the Porsche logo are the nostrils

[@markzebr6463]

You would be correct. One day I am going to get myself an editor.

[@stevieboymkii]

I imagine this was a purchase you were quite looking forward to after seeing it in your videos. Do they make the pink version also? Hearing the names of the drivers, made me immediately think of Andy Priaulx who was a very successful British touring car driver, winning 4 titles in a row (ETCC, then 3 WTCC titles). He also raced the Ford GTs in 2016m which I had no idea about until seeing it on his wiki. The reason I mention it is that Sebastian is his son. It always seems to go in the family.

[@markzebr6463]

Hi Steve. Yes, I had this on pre-order from Toronto Motorsports. I went to Sebring and they had the car at their booth, you couldn't even get it on their website. I was at Sebring in 2022 when this car debuted. It was St. Partricks day weekend and the team had dinosaurs and leprechauns. It was quite a show they put on. You know that I love Porsches and my personal connection with this car made it a must have. I'm not sure if Spak will make Roxy. I know that they will come out with the Le Mans version as it is up for pre-order now. If I were a betting man, I would put my money on AOs LMP2: Spike the dragon. But, you never know. The other two pre-orders outstanding are the pair of Peugeot's 9x8. Never know when or if I will see them. My next race is Watkins Glen and will see Toronto Motorsports then for an up-date. Until then, I have about 25 models outstanding and acquire about one each week. Plenty of work to do as I am now limiting reviews to one each Friday, as Michael Norris use to do. Thanks for watching and good ot hear from you.

[@stevieboymkii]

@@markzebr6463 did that Bentley GT3 arrive from China in the end? If Fridays are the way it works then that's the way it works 🙂

[@Nodramaslots]

That is so cool

[@markzebr6463]

Thanks, it ia an amazing replica. Good news id that Mini GT (TSM is the parent company) is releasing it in 1/64 scale. The team (AO) is most excited about Hot Wheels coming out with a model as it will get more exposure than TSM or Mini GT ever will. Thanks, for your feedback and for watching.

[@shkim4076]

By TSM! I'm waiting Le Mans Rexy one.

[@markzebr6463]

I know that Hot Wheels is coming out with one. That might be the one you are looking for. I normally get tired of waiting for models as it takes so long for them to come out. I still have several models on pre-order. Leet me know when you get it and thanks for watching.

[@fredlacroix6865]

tsm same as spark?

[@markzebr6463]

No they are completely different companies..However TSM is just about as good as current Sparks They are also among the most expensive in class...worth every penny..Thanks for watching.

[@fredlacroix6865]

@@markzebr6463 because this vid is titled SPARK so theres the confusion

[@fredlacroix6865]

@@markzebr6463 TSM is affiliate or same company as mini GT right..IMO they make models like hit & miss..sometimes great sometimes not..especially in 1/64 i had few 1/43 TSM while at their price i think theyre overpriced given the quality of details and paint work, and even out of (proper) scale..my TSM 1/43 bugatti vision is smaller than my 1/43 bentley continental which in actual car the bugatti is larger

[@markzebr6463]

@@fredlacroix6865 Hi Fred. You are correct, TSM is the parent company of Mini GT. TSM does 1/43 and Mini GT 1/64. Spark is the parent company of Sparky. Spark does 1/18 and 1/43. Sparky does 1/64. I believe that IXO, Tarmac Works and Mini-Champs ae related as well. I only collect race cars and cannot speak with authority about other models made by each company. I have entire videos on each manufacture, check out my playlist. I agree that Spark is the best of affordable 1/43 as is LookSmart. TSM and HPI also make great models. IXO, Tarmac Works and Mini-Champs make great models that lack details and suffer from significant casting and quality control issues. They are also much more affordable, the trade off.

[@markzebr6463]

Fred..Your right about my title mistake...THANKS.

[@Tom_Hadler]

Rexy is a bit of a fan favourite. Nice model. Will probably remain desirable due to the fun livery. Those are nostrils, not eyes....the headlights are eyes...what's the matter with you 😂

[@markzebr6463]

I've got to drink more next time 😅 Thanks for keeping me honest.😊

[@fredlacroix6865]

rexy wins on looks

[@markzebr6463]

Yes, it is a great livery...Check out my Sebring 2024 Paddock Tours. AO Racing hss an LMP2 with a Dragon livery called, Spike.
