That's what I was hoping it was going to be when I saw the preview on RedRC's FB page.

It's 190mm isn't it? So it won't work on a wgt car.

Thanks! As a matter of fact......I have another USGT pattern almost ready to convert to a mold. Should be out in 4 to 6 weeks.

Hope you guys like that one as well.

Not quite yet, unfortunately.

Regarding using the LFA in WorldGT, it's theoretically possible but the wheelwells were designed to scale to fit rubber tires with larger sidewalls. Using it on a WGT car with trued foam tires wouldn't look right, and "slamming" the body down would require trimming the front spoiler off the car-- also not ideal.

We're hoping the USGT enthusiast gives this body an honest evaluation. It's a really cool class.
