Here's a question for someone with some time on their hands:
Is the proportion of these cars vs. the proportion of a standard 1/10 TC similar to that of a 1:1 240Z or 510 vs. a 1:1 vintage Mustang or Camaro?
What I'm getting at is would these look right on the track mixed in with the USVTA cars, the way you would see them at a 1:1 historic event?

I read a release somewhere about this car. The whole point of the laydown front shock setup is to achieve sports car bodies that are true to scale. Apparently they couldn't get the correct hood height with traditional shock layouts. I think it looks great. If they're cheap enough they could be like the Slash class in offroad. Scale is back.
the shocks are adjustable from laydown to standard setup depending on handling requirements and body shapes.... another cool feature
and there are four body post positions for the rear and three in the front

theoretically that would be the case.. if a mini or a 510 or a 240 were on the track with say, a camaro, they would look scale to each other... the only problem is that the VTA has certain approved bodies right now.. they may add these in the future since these ARE vintage cars... but the gearing and motors need to worked out so that the speeds would be comparable....

My friend help me to pre-order from HPI before it launch officially. It cost me USD257 including shipping cost to Malaysia.
