Thought I would start a TC3 forum over here.
Locally, the Protoform Contour/Mondeo seems to work well (similar to the Stratus). The Pf 300M seems to add top speed (better aerodynamics), but at the cost of being a bit more "loose" (more front downforce than rear, so not as balanced as the Stratus). The Pf Accord seems to have good steering, but is "taller" in the passenger compartment and more boxy, so it gives away some speed on the straights. One local racer is having success with a Mercedes body (not sure of brand), but I don't know any details... The new LOSI Stratus is a very different animal than the other Stratus bodies -- seems much more loose in the tail, and not as balanced as the older designs. OH -- the Andy's/Yokomo Stratus actually seems to have more downforce than the Protoform/Associated Stratus....<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size="2">Originally posted by rayhuang:
Have you guys done much body testing? I have run two bodies so far and think both of them were good. The first of course is the Protoform Stratus, but what really suprised me was the brand new Parma Lexus. It almost seems to change directions faster and smoother than the Stratus, especially at high speed. I'd put a picture up, but I don't think we can do that yet. Just my opininion though. What bodies have you guys tried other than the tried and true Stratus? It gets old seeing 40 Stratus' every weekend!!!</font>
One thing to keep in mind... At the local HobbyTown parking lot races, new racers (which you seem to be) run together in the 'Novice' class, so you are not thrown to the lions...<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size="2">Originally posted by inacorner:
Rats, I put my reply in the new topic section. You can tell I am new to this. Please view you all.</font>
You can put pictures up... just put a square bracket '[' then the letters 'img' followed by the other square bracket ']', followed (no space) by the URL for the picture, then follow by the same bracket, '/img', bracket combination..<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size="2">Originally posted by rayhuang:
