I'm sure it wasn't ALL the body...but one racer at our local track went from a combination of Corally/Ascari to CRC/CEFX in stock and instantly added 2-2.5 laps to his times..taking him from mid-to-lower portion of the A to the top...
Everybody seems to be raving about the stability of this body!!! Guys running in the lower mains have noticeable differences as well..cars seem to have steering and traction...without sacrificing speed??
I don't know what thickness Lexan was used...but the bodies feel nice and solid like a heavyweight body (they don't seem to flop around like a piece of paper)...yet they're light?
As far as the speed + traction..maybe Josh has some experimental Lexan that's blended with Teflon to make the bodies slipperier as they cut through the air?

.....or, he figured out how to get the air to go around and over the car instead of under it?
It won't be long now, RC bodies, wind tunnels, NASCAR rules, Handford devices, Ray Evernham setting up your car.............

Yeah...I can use fancy-schmancy engineering terms here too...
It's just too early to strain my brain like that to root through the archives between my ears and pull out all my engineering training...
The fact is..the 'big-guys' that have been doing bodies for years don't seem to have accomplished what Josh's company did on the first release?
Now that I look at it from that perspective...no wonder Ernie'd have his undies in a bunch?

Now, watch all the new bodies start coming out in the next year, ALL of which will probably outperform their previous versions by a wide margin. The "big guys" never really had to step up their game because nobody else was. Now that David has punched Goliath right square in the nose watch what happens.
Kudos to Josh for recognizing the need, developing the body(s) to the next level, and leaving the other mfr's no real choice other than to get off their arses and start working on their bodies!
The next year should be fun to watch.

I'm almost afraid of the new Stratus-monstrosities that the other companies will create....
It's jsut hard to get all revved up about a hi-performance RC when people ask what kind of body you run on such a wicked machine..and you replay "A Dodge Stratus!!!! "
Then again..nothing quite says "the pinnacle of automotive engineering" or "the ultimate performance machine" like Dodge Stratus does...

Windsorguy - It's just GE lexan...lol... Nothing fancy... Also, I will promise everyone now...lol... I will not make a Stratus!!!
Matt - With the servo up you will tend to have more steering in highspeed corners. With it down you will have more steering in hairpins - just remember to adjust for bumpr steer - this makes a huge difference!!
