Excelerate RC Prodigy 1:10 World GT-R pan car
Having announced its entry as a car manufacturer in July with its Prodigy 12 1:12 pan car, Excelerate RC has brought its new 1:10 World GT-R class contender along to the Montech NYGP to display this weekend. With World GT-R WGT a popular class in the US, the second car release from the Wisconsin based company, which is aptly named the WGT-R, is based off much of the 1:12 car and is due to go on sale in around 3 weeks time – some of the car’s metal parts still in production. With Excelerate RC a partnership between Ken Lupi and veteran racer & car designer Josh Cyrul, it originally started out around 1-year ago to produce RC Drag racing tyres. Racing 1:12 himself at the NYGP, Cyrul said the WGT-R is essentially a big version of their 1:12. Like the Prodigy 1:12, it features a stiff high grip 2.5mm Aluminium chassis with a steel roll plate and steel pivot plate helping to lower the car’s centre of gravity.
