Hmm... I figured the point was to get even longer life out of the shell as a whole. Screw it down and shoe goo it, no worries. When the first one finally gives out, swap the extra one that comes in the package on.... I race pretty clean but I have crash tested the nose a few times by hitting other cars that have wrecked directly in front of me, and it has held up well. This and the Mcallister offering are the only two legal shells I really dig. It's all about what looks good to the guy that's racing the car...

the J71 has a very strong nose when assembled correctly i've hit just about everything there could be on the track and haven't wrecked the nose on mine - its dented nicely on the front quarter panel, but that only makes it look real

and this new thread - NICE band-aid, Mods...How about fixing the real issue instead of doing this - nothing more then a band-aid when you either a) don't know how to fix the issue; or b) don't care to fix the issue

The advantage the J71 has is weight. Almost 40g lighter than any other body out there. Even after the shoo-goo in the nose.

Thanks for the info guys. I just figured the nose would be a weak point. Since you have had so much luck with yours I may have to try one out. it is a great looking body. So far I have been happiest with the hpi mustang coupe. I also like the Pegasus mustang McAllister mustang and the hpi 70 mustang. The hpi challenger was ok but seemed a little weak. The hpi cuda really disappointed me but I think I got a defect. It shattered like glass after 2 race nights. I usually run a body every week for a couple of months before changing. I haven't run any of the camaro bodies yet but my son has a new parma camaro that looks promising.

parma camaro??? did i miss something - is it a brick like their cuda?

6376vette

Not as curvy as the hpi camaro but not as blocky as the parma cuda. Its not a bad looking body. Its not painted yet so its a little hard to tell what the end result will be but it looks promising.

Out of the VTA bodies I have ran (2 Pegasus 70 camaros, HPI 69 Camaro and the HPI 68 Camaro), I have a cuda body, GT-350 mustang and the not legal vette body. The 68 Camaro is by far the most durable body IMO. 1 piece body and much thicker material stands up to some real abuse.

Yes it seems almost everyone runs them (which is a turn off to some) but there is definitely a reason.

Who idea was this?

Where is the history?

Can we put it back please?

It was IBLib's idea. History is all here: http://www.rctech.net/forum/electric...am-racing.html.

Hey guys, while you're talking about VTA bodies be sure to go to this online poll for VTA bodies and place a vote for your favorite VTA body.

it's the lazy man's fix for the other thread's problem

and yes, I will throw a dig in for this every chance I get

especially when the mods say its up to an admin to fix - and then the admin doesn't reply, kills the thread and locks the old USVTA thread...nice customer service - acting like a stereotypical IT guy, don't care about the users

iTrader: (2)

ditto...Ive changed my settings back...but since Im easy, I dont see why others couldnt have just donr the same...

Congratulations to the Champion of Posts on U.S. Vintage Trans Am forum, DARKSIDE. Wow, you have nearly double the number of posts compared to robk. That's impressive.

Too many people complained. I never had a real issue and never changed any settings. I just would click last post icon and click try again button when it popped up and bam I was at the last post.
