I literally scavenged this body from the shoulder of the highway, it may have blown out of someones truck during a family move or something... it was attached to a toy grade car made by "Speed King". From the outside it looked like hobby grade until I pulled off the lexan and saw the non proportional electronics. I figured what the heck, why not run the body in USGT on my TC6???

Hope it's not my Tamiya pearl white!

That is my paint scheme!

The pearl white NSX will be in the house.

Really happy with the way the paint turned out. However not satisfied with the handling of this body. Going to be sticking with the 350Z. So this is a shelf body.

My BMW M3, beautiful body but horrible on the track so it has been retired to drift only status.

probably just needs some tuning on the rear wing?

I once borrowed a loaner body from another racer in a pinch one day when I was jumping over to USGT from Mod Sedan. The guys didn't like that I was running a TC body. At first the loaner body was a bit squirrely, but then I shimmed the rear of the spoiler to add at least 30° of down force and then the body gave me even faster lap times than the TC body I ran in the first round!
