Looks-wise, I still reckon Hobao got it right with the ST Pro
The rails on the back break up the 'flat deck' look, which in my opinion looks ugly on the Losi - functional or not!
And I find it hard to believe that the shape of the shell will make that much of a difference to the handling for 95% of us! If it did, why is it that I can still qualify so well against the current crop of truggies (and similarly skilled drivers) with my ageing ST?
..in a sport where racers are doing there best to shave off a gram here, or a gram there in order to lose weight or lower your COG, the new style bodies should make some kind of difference. Let me ask you this, do you paint your own bodies? If so, then you know how heavy it can get, now all that weight sits up very high on my RC8T, effectively raising the COG..the 8ight T 2.0 style bodies help to lower this weight, which should be noticeable.
