Pro-Line 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge clear body

Pro-Line have introduced the iconic 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge clear body to the no-prep drag racing scene. The front end features the split front grill and dual headlights per side just like the full-size muscle car and the scale undercut detail under the front nose is only made possible with Pro-Line’s proprietary moulding technology. This GTO body has been faithfully recreated in 1/10 scale size and tuned specifically for drag racing. The body comes clear giving you the option to paint the body however you desire. Pro-Line even includes a drag-style rear wing to keep you going straight down the track. If you are a Pontiac GTO fan, then this is a must-have body for your drag car.

JConcepts 1987 Chevy Camaro IROC-Z body

Visually stunning, physically exhilarating, artfully balanced, the 1987 Chevy Camaro is all these things and more. One of the major reasons the JConcepts team underwent a project of this statue was to produce one of GM’s most sough-after vehicles of the 1980’s. A project originally started in October of 2020 has since seen some revisions along the way to accommodate an ever-changing Drag racing and Bashing segment in the RC market. A tight overall width to settle into today’s latest lineup of manufactured vehicles such as the DR10, 22S, and Drag Slash make the Camaro a fun and fit performer. Flat panel designs signified this generation and peaked during this era of the Camaro. Bucket headlights stand-out on the front-end with dual lights and bezels, the 87 looks so ominous. On top of the hood, two recessed ducts can be louvered out with the included decal sheet. The pointed front-end carries to the fenders, through the doors and back through the rear fender creating that transitional body line from top to bottom. Highly detailed recessed windows provide a large viewing area for the 2-door drag racer.

Rohrmoser wins Austrian 1/10 IC Championships

The 1/10 IC Austrian National Championship concluded last weekend at the MAC Amstetten circuit. This was the fourth event of the season, with each round so far producing a different winner. Simon Ciudan won Rd1 at MAC Mistelbach, Stefan Strasser took Rd2 at SFMAV, and Christoph Rohrmoser came home first in Rd3 at RC Parndorf, meaning the championship was wide open. Rohrmoser secured pole position for the 45-minute final, as the three previous winners took the top three places on the grid. It then turned into a lights-to-flag victory for Rohrmoser, as his MAV-powered Xray ran up front for the whole duration of the race to secure his third consecutive title. When the other points were added up, Stefan Strasser secured second overall, with young Michael Katzmayer third in the standings.

BRCA Clubmans Rd6 Aldershot – Report
