Best body I have tested on MTS FF PRO is HPI Celica! 7340

All Other are more heavy and very easy to got track rolling!

The Tamiya Integra is the one recommended to me by Andy at MTS\Team Powers, just couldn't find one. The HPI Celica makes a good replacement.

The 3racing Honda is supposed to be good but I don't think it's out yet.

The Tamiya Golf24 is pretty neutral if you need more steering then the Golf gives you use the Scirocco. the Scirocco is supposed to be very aggressive on steering. I haven't tried it but that is what I was told by Andy at MTS.

The Celica was the best option on mine, works good and easy to get.

I know, unfortunately this is not homologated in big race events.

In fact i am looking for ABC DC2R, but not sure others too.
Thanks anyway

I used tamiya dc5r very recent, but on high grip circuit, specially carpet, my car just rolling over and some under steering.

3racing is allowed then i used before, since in that event all drivers are sponsored with that body regardless i bring already my scirocco only in qualify and practise, but in A main were just 2 drivers used 3racing civic.

Golf and Celica are not allowed to use.

Thanks

I'll tell you that the Tamiya New Beetle body is not very good. I did mine up to look like Herbie, but my FF01 runs better with no body on it at all compared to the top-heavy Beetle.

I suggest the Tamiya Scirocco. It is lower than the Tamiya Golf/Golf 24 and Civic so more stability and easier to drive. You can also cut away the front splitter.

The HPI celica work best, I tried the Montech Megane RS and with some setup it might work. Not as stable as the celica though. The kit rear wing could be the weak spot IMHO
