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. :nod:

I wish I had the Protoform C6, but I don't. What I DO have is the Protoform 360 Modena. Any opinions on its handling?

I had one of these for my Tamiya TA03 back in the day, I had no idea about its handling but it sure did look cool flying up and down my street. 10 turn brushed power! :D

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!

That 1s class sounds like it would be fun. You guys know how to live and really know your race cars over there! I like that split wing LMP rule and I'm sure brings a lot of attention and excitment :nod:

1S wgt is seriously fun but its not universally common over here. I used to run it but we couldn't keep it going at our track. Watching Cyrul run mod wgt at the iic was probably the most bad ass thing I've ever seen in carpet racing.

In the WCICS series we have 1s, 13.5T WGT, however its limited to Sophia and Gianna bodies...

These are the bodies I run on my WGT at the club, however it's not legal at the WCICS. Most everyone I talk to thinks this is what a WGT body should be like.

Hi Mike;

I'll second that for sure! :nod: One of the most impressive displays of skill and speed I've seen in my 23 year rc career. The only thing that might compare with Josh's WGT car was the crazy speed and domination Paul Lemieux had in the final season of Mod Sedan with foam tires. He's be lapping the whole field ever 2 minutes. It was nuts.

That body was just way ahead of its time I'm afraid. :cry: Pouring out a little liquor for it.

Thanks! RC Mart. The single body is out of stock, however the dual is available. http://www.rcmart.com/colt-200mm-bod...?cPath=438_876


I have a few bodies I'm looking to run out in USGT as well. I've seemed to have stocked up on these, so will use them as practice ones as well.

Blinky or is boost allowed? 13.5T seems a bit slower to me, but fits the US -> UK -> rest of Europe motor progression (you run 13.5 in the US, we run 10.5, and in Europe they'd probably use 8.5!). In Denmark, they use 17.5 indoors, and 13.5 outdoors, but... with 2S batteries. ;)

Very nice shell! I want to get the Colt 911 GT1, myself... :)

They're not legal here yet, this rule change just happened, but they're both legal in Denmark's Le Mans series! The Blade Porsche 962 is the most popular, though:

But we've seen some Team Muso LM-P Type 1 and at least one Montech M10 in the A final of the nationals here, in a field of Giannas and Sophias, so there is hope! ;)

My mistake, I meant 10.5T, not 13.5T. We run blinky.

Thanks! I have the Colt 911 GT1 as well as the Toyota GT One (to be painted). The Toyota is a wedge like Can Am as they only semi separated the rear wing, so will never be legal for anything I suspect :lol: I have been waiting for the Muslo LMP to come in stock for ever. The Montech M10 looks like a great body, I have not found a seller in NA for it yet.

You're welcome!


My PFM-10's came in today! That was fast! :)
