Thanks for you input and comments! Much apprecuiated.

I would love to see a 190mm version of the LFA body. It would also (more than likely) make the 2015 IIC 'Spec GT' body list.

While 190mm is usually optimal the only thing I ever noticed about the 200mm Protoform corvette was that it was the best all around body. The width was never an issue for me.

It looks a bit strange on a 190mm chassis but does offer additional safety for suspension parts.

I would like to try a 190mm Lexas. I had a 200mm one laying around on a drift chassis and gave it a try on the USGT car. It was very easy to drive, planted on the track but lap times were slower.

Please don't forget about us Detroit fans. I've been waiting on a C7(Stingray).

Thanks for your input.

I would love a 190mm LFA body that I could run with 0-offset wheels.

Make a 190mm LFA if you must, however please keep making more 200mm as well. I want to use 3mm & 6mm offset wheels. This is what I like about this class, it's more scale looks, otherwise we may as well race TC.

Looking forward to my PFM-10 when they arrive.

Thanks for taking input and listening to the end users Dale!

I asked Eric about the C7 Stingray, but Vaterra already beat PF to the punch and secured the license from Chevrolet to make 1/10 scale C7 bodies.

I really liked my LFA, it handled pretty good. But I didn't like the really wide stance of it. A true 190mm LFA and the new PFM-10 would be awesome.

YES, bring that corvette body back please! I will beg if needed.

I would be fine with the 200mm, but it in 190mm... I would feel like a kid on Christmas.

Travis S, rcwck & wwddww34;

I was so bummed out when I heard that Horizon (Vattera) got an exclusive on the C7 (in all of Corvette's formats - both race & street versions - in 1/10th scale) that I wanted to scream. Their exclusive may expire at the end of 2015 so maybe next year it'll be possible to do a PF version. Licensing has become a bigger issue than most people would ever believe.

But hey.....I've got all the measurements on the C7-R - I just need the legal "OK"

The C7 would be great, but the body Rob and I were talking about and know for a fact it handles great (and looks sweet) was the 2005 C6-R that you released back in the day. Soooo I know you can't do the C7 but what about the C6-R re-release or this in 190mm. If you know how popular the OLD version of the Tamiya NSX bodies are in the GT class because of how well they handle. This body is up there with that.

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 hear you! Here in the UK, WGT is run with 1S batteries, but with boost, so it comes out about as fast as 13.5T boosted touring cars, or maybe even a smidge faster, and for a lot less cash (top end chassis go for £220 instead of £350, and 1S batteries are pretty much half the price of 2S ones).

Recently, they've allowed LMP bodies for WGT here in the UK, as long as they have split wings (no 12th scale style "wedge" bodies), let me tell you that people perk up and pay attention, and when they see the speed, it's quite the event!

Oh, by the way, Dale and Eric, if you'd bring back your beautiful Protoform Mulsanne, I'm sure we could do with some here...
