Actually for a VTA race body I thought the McAllister 1969 Mustang body looked pretty good on the track. The body held up well to contact/scuffing - actually better than some of the HPI bodies after one night of racing..
To be fair, no VTA body is perfect. All of the current legal manufacturer's bodies have different quirks such as:
- some have thin lexan due to molding process (results in weak front ends)
- some have 2-piece molds and/or external spoilers (have to mount pieces that break or fall off)
- some have narrow width at rear which can cause wheel rub
- some are slightly out of scale or not an exact replica (can be due to licensing or concessions to fit onto a 1/10 scale car)
Thankfully all of the current VTA bodies look pretty good when viewing them from the driver's stand when painted with a good scheme (Okay, I do wish Parma would improve their molds).
