I've always found that when I've run over-sized bodies in VTA (Parma Cuda, Pegasus "Big Fish") that I tended to break less partstah.

Florida State Series race #5 in the books, qualified & finished 2nd, car was great all day long. My budget S64 was faster then the $650 winner, just could not get a clean pass ... maybe next time

I do dig the paint job and realism aspect.

I compared it to the Camaro and its pretty close on length and width. It just looks huge because it's a box.

Rear grip was fine, only got loose if I overdrove it and overdrive it I did lol Brandon stayed tight which did not leave a lot of room for me, maybe if I kept my lines a little tighter ... win some and lose a lot. 3Racing S64, budget car around $110 with around $90 in upgrades.

First race of the year at Valkaria RC - VTS Race #1 of the series. It's looking like a very good crowd of VTA cars coming topped off with an 8min main. Sunshine and weather in the low 80's. Looking epic...

Saw some gators on tv from the golf tournament in Bradenton over the weekend. Some pretty big ones in those ponds. Totally unrelated to VTA, but that's ok.
