Satisfy your classic car craving with Vaterra's new '69 Custom Corvette
The "Adventure Driven” mad men at Vaterra have done it again. They’ve just announced a new on-road, RTR vehicle that’s based on their V100-S chassis. Estimated selling price looks to be $289.99 ($334.99 retail) with a release date of early June 2014. As for the car itself, if you’re familiar with some of their other on-road offerings ('67 Mustang, ’69 Camaro, C.H.P. Camaro, ) you’re already familiar with this platform.
Aside from the chassis, most of the inner-workings of this vehicle are the same, if not very similar to what you'll find with the other on-road machines from Vaterra RC. There are some nice touches that make this Corvette a unique offering though. From the "new" body style, to the low-profile tires and large rims, you'll surely have a good time with this vehicle.
