I used to run my m06 with a tamiya renault alpine body, I found that it was very fast, not much steering and definitely very little rear grip or stability.
I tried some other shells, such as team titan's Volvo c30, abc hobbies lancia stratos and some others.
I noticed that the shells with wings work best for m06, shells with gurney flaps also worked pretty decently. Shells with no aero downforce made the car very unstable for road racing. They were great for rally though.

Due to your post, i thought it will be very tricky driving the alpine Shell, but had no Problems with it! It ran awesome for me. There was wo difference in handling as the S15 Body.
This might be because of the slow speed (Black can) or the high grip of the track.
So at the Moment it looks pretty good

I eventually stuck a buggy front wing unto the back with tamiya wing stand offs. Rear became a lot more planted.
It got very bashed up and I've retired it. Is there any chance you might take multi-angle photos of your awesome bodyshells? I think it's awesome!

Ran my 06 Pro at the weekend in the stock silvercan class. Tried a totally new setup that was absolutely dialled. TRF Mini dampers with the rears built using the longer rods supplied in the kit, 35wt oil in the rear, standard pistons 3 hole I think. Tamiya touring car red springs on the rear, flouro red Mini short springs on front. Rear carbon tower, rear shocks mounted outer hole at the top and to the Pro ballpin mount at the bottom. No added weight. Tyres Pit Shimizu 60D super soft rear and ABC slicks front. Running on highish grip carpet it was so planted, no sign of grip roll, plenty of steering, fantastic traction. Couldn't fault it at all. Made me question why I persevere with my M05.

No idea what compound the ABC tyres are, I've had them for a while. They're from an old ABC Genetic kit I broke up and sold off in bits.
