Pegasus Hobbies in California makes it. Horizon does distribute them. They seem to do the bodies in runs, so sometimes they get hard to find

Just for your info the Pegasus Mustang is a 1969 Mach 1. The body is very flimsy, and the rear wheelwells are too high. And yes, I have two of them. But it looks alot better than the Parma.

I enjoy VTA Racing just as we all do but I got to admit either everyone has a Camero or Mustang body and I believe one Cuda. there were also 1971 Alfa-Romeo GTV and 1971 Javelin, 1967 Mercury Cougar, Pontiac Firebird. and thats with 5 minuts of searching.

It's no mystery here what other cars ran in the Trans-Am series. Do a little search of the thread and you'll find dozens of pages of discussion about it. Problem is, nobody makes those bodies.

I ordered all three of the Pegasus VTA shells from Dion wednesday. If you want one just grab it and Dion will just reorder mine. NP

My old Cuda body looked like shoe box. This looks a little better, but is huge.
Next one will be Camaro.
Chassis is Corally Phi.

I have run mine in a few races and the body is tough as nails and i beat it up pretty good.

Here's a new lid I did for our last winter indoor race. Won best paint. The UnOfficial, Official USTVA Pace Car! The light bar didn't come arrive in time.

Tried to get fancy w/ the grill & lights. I wanted to paint numberplates & numbers but ran outta time. Had some mistakes and ran outta time to finish everything I really wanted to. All paint cept the Fram, Champoin & USVTA stickers.

Pictures kinda suck from my camera phone but'll work.



..the other competition
