Remember when it was the Dodge Stratus? TC used to be a range of cool bodies and then it got serious and some bodies stood out to be better handling bodies and everyone went to them....same thing with the Exotek P-Zero and now this one perhaps. I prefer real GT3 type bodies that look like the cars actually raced in the real series personally. But exotics are cool too.

I hope it looks good in all of the popular easter egg colors!

white, the ice bear edition. Got mine ordered

I personally like good looking great handling bodies would not get a P-zero don't like it at all.. I like this body....getting one for sure. For me well placed stickers make the body look good regardless of the number of colors. Funny how people sort of talk down on one color paint, but your paint preference and your opinions are just that yours...not better or worse either way.

I mentioned that because there was quite a bit of discussion earlier in the thread about folks not putting the effort in while running in a class the thrives on realistic paint jobs. Sure, most cars are a single color and with some sticker/decal effort the cars look really nice.

What annoys me is the single colour paint jobs that are so faint you can see through them, with no decals at all, not even headlight/grill details.

And to a lesser extent, clear wings. Real cars don't have wings made out of glass.

Yeah now that I get, if it's a practice body ok cool, I never like the no decal/see through thing either at least not for me

NutDriver 09-28-2018 06:21 PM

USGT rules have recently added no clear wings and the body must weigh at least 95g. That might help with the see-though issues.

The new Bitty body looks great. Hopefully it will add the the field, and not end up being the field. But it also looks like it has some very familiar lines with a body that has been banned from use. I’m all for not having to be an exact replica and namesake of a car, that just gets to be ridiculous. But by that logic, maybe time for a rethink? https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rct...4a20d35c5.jpeg

About the only thing those two have in common is wheel wells.....Nothing else looks the same.

EA, any ideas when you're going to get them in?

POLLITO 09-29-2018 01:20 AM

Venom
 
Sometimes its just too good to absorb and the negative memories of the past in comparison to todays progress just leads u to believe that some of us arent ready for innovation.
Trying one of these may change your mind asap!!!

While I know that Bitty took the cues from a real car, and produced a very good looking USGT body. I don’t know what pictures you are looking at if you cannot see that these two cars have similar body lines and profiles.

And to to say that the Venom is the most realistic body out there is just flat out wrong. It’s BASED on a real car, but just different enough to avoid being sued. There are several actual licensed bodies on the market.

Good Morning Guys, my son is going to start running USGT and I need a recommendation for a body and an overall starting point for gear ratio. He will be running an Infinity IF14. Thanks in advance for the help.
