Good luck finding it though.

They only sell through dealers and it took some calling around to find a dealer who had it in stock. I found it at dealer #509 Greenfield News and Hobby in Wisconsin. There was also a dealer in MI that seemed to stock it but they were out of stock when I called. None of the Hobby Towns I called had anything.

Oh, the wind that comes with it is just for show. You'll need to make one or get an HPI wing. There are no stanf-offs molded into the body either.

Interesting: At the Gate we actually wrote body rules that expanded on Rob's USGT set. No oval, truck, off-road bodies and must be based on a production street vehicle (roughly).
We currently don't allow the prototype bodies.

Thanks Chris. Nate was Tq and also won. I'll be back at it at The Gate this weekend. I would love to see a new Corvette or a new Caddy ATS. I think USGT is going to become more popular and hopefully we might see some new bodies in the near future. I sure had a blast running it at the USVTA Indoor Nats last weekend. The HPI BMW I ran I thought handled really well and the Team Scream motors were really fast.

Default perfect USGT body

Hi, This what I think is the perfect body for USGT. Great downforce and
excellent steering. It is mounted on a Kyosho TF-5S. Body is discontinued
and nearly impossible to get. Regards
Norman 2

I have ran so many different bodies I cant remember them all. The fastest I ever ran was the Mazda Furai on my XRAY T4. I ran it with the big molded HPI wing. I am currently running the Tamiya 599XX body with the big HPI wing and love it. I haven't had any problems with it handling or with durability. Looks awesome too.

Doubtful as this class runs a spec tire for the last year and prior to that the norm was hpi xpatterns

That Aston looks like it would handle nice. This is my first USGT Body I specifically planned for it, however I have a few M3 bodies to use as well.





Getting ready for when the club starts the class

Thanks. Its the wing from the HPI E46 M3 kit. I wanted to see how it would look while I waited for the actual Tamiya 458 wing to arrive.
