I started to use Montechs / Xray though and their quality is bit below my expectation - molds have many points that needs to be trimmed/polished in order to look good - mainly the rear wing. Functionality wise it seems to be good - yet I only tested them on training and Saturday will show race reality.
For Yokomo YRF-001N with Ride XR the front one needs to be cut by few mm to have a safe clearance on turning - on the ends only.

V1 are the crappy ones which break on contact where as V2 are made of a better material which can handle the beating.

I don't feel like the 15 fit very well on my standard CRC WTF-1. The rear of the body doesn't mount low enough and causes the side pods to not sit flat to the chassis plate. I like the overall look of the 15 though.

Im not sure how much of a difference F1 body will have on the aerodynamics, but pretty sure the front and rear wing would play a bigger part more than anything.

I would say you are right about the bodies in general. The wings don't seem to make a huge difference aerodynamically, but I think the weight is a huge factor. Lighter wings seem more reactive, heavier will slow reaction. This was a huge effect in a Tamiya vs. Serpent wing comparison. Even the rear wings make a big difference, including how far off the pod they are mounted as well.

Does anyone have the PF14/15 with different wingsets? I'm looking at the 15 with Montech wings, but i haven't seen that anywhere, even the PF pictures show Serpent wings
