Just a small note about a minor rules change... bearings in 27T stock motors are no longer legal (not that anyone used or needed them in Trans Am). It was a bit of a placebo to keep brushed motor racers from panicking about the introduction of the brushless motors to the class, and we've found that not only are bearings not necessary, but the brushed motors are still faster overall.

Motors will be Teched at the nationals, too. So no 19T arms in those CO27 cans.

36 drivers pre-registered in just over 48 hours, and only TWO guys that call Trackside home, TWO guys from Allen's, ONE from Michiana and no one from Oshkosh. These tracks aren't going to fair well in the team competition if no one shows up to support this class and their home tracks.


Better get registered soon, guys! This is going to be a can't miss event for Trans Am geeks.


HPI will be in attendance at this event, with full support for the Nationals, as well as a host of prize packages. We are also working with RCdriver for coverage and support, as well as a few other sponsors in the works.




Seriously, missing this would be a big mistake.

i apologize if this question has already been asked but is there a way to view the 3 bodies online at pegasus hobbies website? cant seem to find them on there website. also i seen there was a mustang and a cuda but what is the 3rd body they sell? also are the bodies 190mm or 200mm? thanks

if you go to the us vintage trans am regular thread a buddy of mine found some of the bodys at a local hobby shop in the back room LOL he posted pics of the cuda and mustang. Both are pretty killer a mustang guy actually has the same mustang as the one used to creat the body and he flipped out when he saw it today. so they are pretty sweet

3rd body is a camaro also pretty sweet.

they are 200mm bodys and they work perfect with the hpi rims and tires cause they are bigger and fill out the body perfectly
