January 31, 2013 147Feast your eyes on the Vaterra 1969 Camaro RC car! Vaterra have brilliantly recreated Chevrolet's classic.

Its sleek body, low-profile tyres and large-diameter wheels give it a striking appearance. Powering this beast is a superior Dynamite power system. Combined with its shaft-driven 4WD, the Camaro RS gives you jaw-dropping performance. On

Our film crew hit the ground running to capture Mike reviewing the brand new Parkzone VisionAire.
