If you are looking for a fun and affordable class of RC on-road racing where part of the rules is the requirement to run cool and realistic old-school bodies, then you have to check out the VTA (Vintage Trans Am) racing class. This class has been around for quite some time and has gained a strong following. The obvious draw to the VTA class are the bodies being use and this article will hook you up with a list of 7 awesome VTA bodies from PROTOform that you can choose for your VTA chassis.
1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Clear Body—#1562-40
Kicking of this list of the 7 awesome VTA bodies from PROTOform is this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 body which is probably the most recognizable due to its iconic styling. Famed race driver, Mark Donohue, raced this car back in the day and won the 1969 Trans-Am series championship. The Chevrolet Camaro Z28 could be seen dominating the racetrack as well as tearing up the streets thus making the ’69 Camaro one of the most loved American V8 powered muscle cars. PROTOform captured its iconic look in 1/10-scale complete with deep-set grille and headlights, side louvers and triple-lens tail lights. The latest molding technology was used to form this body from a single piece of high-quality polycarbonate while still maintaining realistic front and rear undercuts. This officially-licensed product meets all VTA Class rules and includes a detailed decal sheet, protective overspray film and window masks to help ensure you end up with a great looking finished product when the paint has dried.
1971 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Clear Body—#1552-40
If you are a big Camaro fan and the ’69 is not your cup of tea, you are still in luck. PROTOform has you covered with this sharp-looking 1971 Chevrolet Camaro Z28. PROTOform was able to replicate the distinctive split bumper configuration along with all the other signature Z28 details that make this body look realistic. This body comes out of the packaging in one piece so there are no added pieces you have to attach to the body. Don’t worry that overall appearance is hindered because PROTOform was able to capture the looks of the front and rear undercuts that gives the ’71 Z28 its stunning looks. Like the rest of the bodies shown here, the ’71 Z28 meets the VTA class rules and comes with a detail decal sheet, window masks and overspray film.
1967 Dodge Dart Clear Body—#1579-30
The yellow paint job that PROTOform laid down on their 1967 Dodge Dart makes this VTA body really stand out and look just plain cool. Like its other VTA counterparts, it is a throwback to the glory days of American road racing thus making the Dart a great pick for the VTA racing class. The original Dodge Dart from the 60’s had a flat-sided, compact muscle look which was nicely captured by PROTOform’s artists. This replica of the 3-time winning car comes to you molded in 1/10-scale and purpose built to fit 190mm touring car chassis for VTA racing. If needed, you can tune the aero effects by installing the included rear spoiler. Not surprisingly, the body is officially licensed and meets all the VTA class rules. It is molded from a single piece of high-quality, light-weight polycarbonate, comes with a detailed decal sheet with stripes to decorate the rear end like the real car along with protective overspray film and window masks.
1968 Ford Mustang Clear Body—#1558-40
Don’t worry Ford fanatics, PROTOform did not forget about you. Highlighted here is the show-stopping and officially Ford licensed 1968 Ford Mustang in 1/10-scale polycarbonate. PROTOform has achieved exceptional scale detail with the body where it proudly highlights the styling that made the Mustangs from the 60’s admired and cherished. On top of that is the fact that the body comes molded in one piece yet has the front and rear undercuts that in the past could only be achieved by adding additional pieces of polycarbonate that had to be bolted and glued onto the body. PROTOform also put in the extra effort and costs to get this body officially licensed. If you plan to race with it in the VTA series, you can rest assured that it meets all the rules for the class.
J71 Clear Body—#1526-00
A VTA favorite is arguably the eye-catching PROTOform J71 clear body which is a nod to the full size AMC Javelin that was the 1971 Trans-Am Championship winning car. Clearly a lot of effort was put into this body to replicate the styling cues of its full-size counterpart. The front of the car features an add-on nose with air dam. When mounted with shoo goo and 2mm screws, it becomes an integral part of the body. Because this area of a race body is the most prone to racing wear and tear, a second nose is supplied with the body. This configuration allows for molding a lightweight, durable .030 Lexan body, which in turn aids the handling ability of any VTA chassis.
1970 Plymouth Barracuda Clear Body—#1594-00
PROTOform’s 1970 Plymouth Barracuda body is the newest to its VTA Class lineup and has all the makings to be a winning shell at the track. Like all the bodies listed here, the Cuda comes with the expertly molded polycarbonate body that is protected with overspray film along with a window mask and a nice sheet of detail decals to bring the body to life. Even the iconic fender stripes are included. This officially licensed body was faithfully created with the classic Mopar details complete with aggressive hood scoop, deep-set front grill, built-in rear spoiler and muscular stance. Lay down a paint scheme of your choosing and once the body is mounted up on the chassis, you will be reliving the glory days of American road racing.
1971 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Clear Body—#1535-30
Completing this list of the 7 awesome VTA bodies from PROTOform is the stunning 1971 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. Its overall appearance was accurately captured by the designers at PROTOform. All the classic features are brought to life on this 1/10-scale version like that aggressive front “beak”, the duck tail-style rear spoiler and the show stopping shaker hood scoop. It is obvious that PROTOform did not overlook any detail. The front nose cone is molded separately and when mounted with the 2mm screws and/or liquid adhesive, it becomes an integral part of the body. As an added bonus a second nose piece is included if the first one needs to be replaced. This licensed Pontiac body is molded in genuine .030 Lexan material and meets all VTA Class rules. The body comes clear with protective overspray film, window masks and a detailed decal sheet that lets you choose to style your Firebird as a full-blown race car, or head-turning street machine.
