Eric how soon will distributors have it? It's a great look, congratulations!

Why wait for dealers to have them.in stock when PF has free shipping? I just ordered 2.

Then I'm on my way to order!

PF doesn't have free shipping to Canada. So lame. Eric, you should look into that. Help us Canadians out!! I was gonna order two but the cost of shipping is the same as buying a third body!!!

God I want this thing.

Eric, you guys should hire me. ;) First I inform the masses that it's NOT a Mclaren MP4 12C, and now I'm getting you more direct orders by letting people know you offer free shipping.

Seriously though, keep up the good work. I just need you guys to make a VTA Mustang and all my vehicles will run PF/PL bodies. :tire:

Beautiful, just in time for the Mid-West Grand Slam race #3. Order placed.

This is a fine Buick, therefore it's legal

durable. Regards

I'm an Audi R8 fan myself for USGT; however, if I ever painted a body that looked like that, the car would never see the track. Nice touch with the tail pipes. The Joy of being an Audi owner is that I get to drive my 1:1 car around the COTA track in Austin this weekend as part of the Pirelli World Challenge races being held there. Parade lap only:(

How much you wanna bet that this body would get you faster lap times than a (regular weight) Mazda Speed6 body?

That's what I'm eluding to. I think this body will be faster, and it's not some lame sedan that the TC class has become. If everyone wants to keep running Mazda Speed6's in TC let them, but let's get an more exciting class of GT cars that can run 17.5 and Mod and not be relegated to USGT 21.5. This PFM10 certainly can usher in a new era that makes me excited!

I long for the days when LMP, Can Ams and GTs are the premiere go fast RC cars, not an economy sedan that barely even resembles it's real life counter part, it's hard to be excited for that.

Our club will be racing USGT which has generated a lot of excitement just for the more scale, realistic and pulse pounding bodies and wheel options it introduces.

For me, it's the dish wheels that make the cars look so wrong in modern TC.

The BTCC of the mid-late 90's was probably the best (full-size) touring car racing of all time, and the cars were based on plain sedans, just with bigger wheels and modest aero.

Bringing back spoked wheels is what makes the USGT cars so visually appealing to me.

ViperZ 03-06-2015 11:19 AM

ErikO, I can subscribe to that. Those BTCC, DTM and even Aussie TC are nice sedans. Yeah I hate the white dish wheels even more, If I could get them n black it would be better than how hidious they are now.

I would just like a very fast GT, GTP, LMP series based on a TC platform. Even the WGT class is all wrong limited to a hand full of Sophia, Gianna and what have you. That class should be full of LM prototypes an other real life extremely fast cars, be a 2s system, but no, its held to those few semi good looking bodies and crippled in power as to not upstage the TC class. Sorry I don't mean to go off like this, and I maybe all wrong on many things but I feel the RC world is all wrong when a F1 car is slower than a 17.5 Mazda TC.

I'm excited for this USGT racing and I hope it builds momentum to correct what IMHO is wrong with the RC car universe. A round of 13.5t for GT cars! ;)

I know this is off topic, and overall it doesn't look fantastic, I'd totally be down for this when using a spec touring car wheel/tire.

Just need to find someone who makes them in the states :)

Just about any decent sign shop w/a digital printer should be able to print these up.

Try contacting Cseils here on RCTech.
