This is my first attempt at a VTA body. It's not perfect, but I'm pretty happy with it. I was inspired me Sam Posey's 1970 Challanger.

You know, you don't see that many challengers. There's a lot of mustangs, camaros, and cudas, but very few challengers.

Went with the Challenger mostly because of the hood scoop. I opened that up and to date - have not needed a cooling fan for the motor or ESC. Had to trim some of the front spoiler off to keep it off the ground.
I highly recommend the Challenger body. Very durable.

This is a McAllister 1970 Trans Am body. I really like these! I'm running one (orange) and its held up really well. (Walls tend to jump out at me sometimes when I'm racing. 
) Front end is durable and the rear spoiler is integral with the body. You have to cut your own window masks with these, but that only takes a couple of minutes. They are printed on masking vinyl, just not cut.
Paint is all Faskolor black with chrome silver. I used liquid mask to do the firebird on the hood and cut the design with my trusty X-acto. Numerals will be the racers choice. Indy RC here in Indianapolis makes a really nice number set for VTA cars. Should look pretty mean with VTA brushed wheels and tires!

Thanks. I'm also running a Serpent S411. I'll bet there are not many of those running as well.
