Has anybody had any luck using this S.P. Reventon ESC with a Novak Ballistic 25.5? Mine just does not want to push the car off from a dead stop.

If HPI makes this body available separately from the kit, I think it will require and invitation to the VTA party! I'll bet those velocity stacks are good for a few tenths.

If they allow that, they'd have to allow the Corvette, which is period correct, and "cooler" than this Mustang!

The RTR-X Mustang is a show car. Yes, it started life as a 69 Mustang, but that's not really what it is anymore. It's a show car/publicity stunt for the RTR brand.
Hopefully the stacks are separate and can be left off. I don't see why it couldn't be VTA legal. I doubt it has any areo advantages over the HPI 70 Mustang. Greenhouse is about the same. Other than the fender flares, chin and rear deck spoiler it's not that much different.

I don't see what is so radical about it that it wouldn't make the list simply on the merits of being a 69 Mustang. It certainly would not be the first that raced with big fender flares. That set of trumpets on the hood look like they can be left off. Im going to try one as soon as I can.
According to the Historic Trans-Am roster there was a 1969 Mustang that was driven by Dan Gurney.
Minus the headlight covers I think it looks similar enough to the HPI 69 Mustang RTR-X body ...

I think Myron likes the looks of it. Doesn't mean that he will want it on the official list. I plan on getting one. If Rob doesn't approve it then I will probably drift it.
I am fine either way. When the shell comes out I will buy it. VTA or not. Make a killer USGT shell. Even if it is at disadvantage in airflow.
Rescue do you have VTA racing there in Saskatchewan? Do you have bears? Zombies? We have Zombies. They vote.......

Sorry I missed that entire conversation. Thanks for the recap. It will be interesting to see it painted period correct in VTA livery. You know at least a few are gonna try it.

There is not a single Corvette on the Historic US Trans-Am Roster.
There was, however, a 1969 Mustang that was driven by Dan Gurney.

The fact is, it is a GORGEOUS, AWESOME, WICKED car! If it is not VTA legal, then we will just have to enjoy it for club racing or USGT. But, enjoy it we will! Here's a website where you can see more of the real thing if you want: http://mustangsdaily.com/blog/2011/1...ift-irwindale/
