Regular weight bodies
I've been away from the hobby for about 5 years and upon coming back I've noticed it's nearly impossible for find any TC bodies which aren't lightweight OR pro-lite.
My past experiences of LW bodies are a couple of good whacks and it's fit for the garbage. Is this still the case? What happened to the bodies for the regular D-Main-Wayne?
Conspiracy to make you buy more bodies and paint?

The continuing obsession with everything going faster. I’m not at the level where the weight of the body has any bearing on how I drive.

Regular weight bodies can be faster in low-med grip tracks

Depending on brand ... The LW and ULW can last even longer due to being more flexable .
To help when your new you might want to run a nive bead of shoo goo or E6000 around the bottom front edge and around the wing mount area .
We do this to our practice bodies when we have new layouts sometimes our cars do odd things due to inconsistent traction .

I just gorilla tape behind the bumper, lip, fender, area where the body mount touches and the rear trunk area. Adds about 5-10 grams to the body but it holds up.

When I ran Blitz bodies, even the lightweight or super lightweight bodies were 3x more durable than any offering from Protoform. Not all lexan is created equal...

Regular weight bodies are still good for mod asphalt racing and speed runs, but for indoor lightweight and ULT is the way to go without crashing of course: multiple choice is necessary to please most of the racers out there.....
