nice work.

btw- how much to do a full set-up?

The easiest and cheapest option is to buy a ready to run chassis with all the radio equipment and everything good to go. About $190 shipped.

The HPI E10 makes a great, cheaper starting platform.

Tower Hobbies offers the kits Ready to run E10 in many bodies...

Even includes batteries and charger. I much prefer to build my own, as its the best part for me.

Then you can just buy the body you want, paint it like your own car etc.

1966 Mustang:

And so on...

The total list of approved Bodies for The Vintage Trans Am Series is:

HPI part numbers:
17510 - 1970 Plymouth AAR 'Cuda
17519 - 1966 Ford Mustang GT
17508 - 1965 Ford Shelby GT-350
7494 - 1968 Chevrolet Camaro

Parma part numbers:
10143 - 1969 Z28 Camaro
10141 - 1970 Boss Mustang
10113 - 1970 'Cuda

Pegasus Hobbies part numbers:
PGH4001 - 1970 Camaro SS
PGH4002 - 1970 'Cuda
PGH4003 - 1970 Mustang



A little more high end would be the HPI Sprint 2 Ready to run with the 66 mustang body. $320 on ebay

A more expensive but much better performing solution would be something like the Hot Bodies Cyclone:

They Run about $350 for just the chassis. Much more suited for actual racing than parking lot fun. Team associated makes a TC5 as well. Equally expensive.

I don't race, I just wanted to build a scale version of my own car, its great therapy when I'm not feeling well.

Heres what the racing looks like, Mini pace car and all...



These cars are now faster than gas RC cars ever were, quieter, cleaner with simple brushless motor upgrades.
