Cheers.
The V2 should work great with a 200mm layout.
Just put on a F103 front suspension and use the wide F103 wheels.
What i did use at the front was F104 foam tires/wheels and Xceed F103 rear foam tires.
True down the front&rear tires, get the ride height at arround 4mm or lower and i bet you will be going faster then with your WGP.
The V2 is in my opinion the better choice for 200mm foam racing.
