Unfortunately, like all of our bodies it comes un-painted and un-cut, but it does have scribe lines for the vents. Using a dremel helps save time when cutting them out.

Glad you guys like it. I think one thing you are missing is the huge hood vent, which in testing dramatically decreased the parachute effect.

I really think you guys should reconsider at least looking into cutting the vents out.
I've tried cutting the louvers out of the "Raptor" style bodies... and it's just a royal pain.
I know I for one would be willing to pay probably another $5 or so if they were precut.... Maybe I'm the only one.... But ????

I like the body. I like all the cutouts. What I don't like is the side wing things. I think that starts to go away from spirit of SC racing. I've also started seeing people put rear spoilers of clear lexan on the back of their trucks to create more downforce. Those are the types of things that may start to kill SC racing. I mean, what's next, cab forward Shortcourse truck bodies that are really just widebodied Stadium Truck or Truggy bodies? I really hope it doesn't start getting to that point because it'll take a lot of the fun out of it and that's when I'll sell mine and just keep racing 1/8th scale. One of the BIG popularity of the SC classes is because of the realism, once that starts to go, then so too will the class and it'll go the way of the Stadium Truck. Never completely gone, but not as popular as it once was. So anyone who buys the body, nice body, but how about keeping the wings off.

Yeah... I forgot about the one on the hood, but did see it.

First SC body I've actually liked. Still missing a few ways to get legal and needed down-force on the rear.

Ah, I didn't realize that they're using side dams on the full-size trucks, I did a google image search and couldn't find any full-sizes trucks that had them. I did see some of the smaller dams that are more like name plates and ofcourse number plates, but none of the big side dams. I agree though that the spoilers shouldn't be allowed.
