The Raikiri LW is indeed a surprisingly nice handling body. I ran it back to back with my p-zero and posted the same lap times and there was only 0.2s between thre two over a 5 minute run. However, thre Raikiri felt more connected and more direct. The p-zero was better for fighting grip roll since it is lower and lighter.

Just ordered. I hope this works.i would love to run the body and be competitive with it. Can't wait.

I do noticed that with the body set at the height it is supposed to be in, the tires are rubbing under the hood. Does yours do that on your nsx too?

fat500 01-07-2019 08:10 PM

body rubs during impact only on the raikiri. nsx I run one hole higher all the way around.

My car was a Tamiya ta07 with a Tamiya raikari gt body. I would have finished slightly better had I not clipped another car during passing him and ended up on my lid but I was able to fight my way back up through the remaining 7 cars . The Tamiya bodies work but you have to make them work . First thing you need to use the Tamiya and lightweight Wing set which I use on all of my body's I also have a P0 that I run with sometimes just to mix it up and that uses a Tamiya lightweight rear wing they are excellent https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rct...78648e209e.jpg

Setup does matter. I’m just giving advise based on personal experience. What track do you normally run at? I love traveling to races.

Cool. I’d love to know when they have a big race. With a few weeks notice I’m sure I can fit it in.

Home to some of the fastest USGT racers in the nation.. Maybe put this one on your list.

Plus some guy who is kind of a big deal in Canada is coming.

How's the Ford GT body doing? I saw a bunch when they 1st came out, but now hardly see them at all. Got one for Xmas, so I'm kind of committed :)

STANG KILLA SS 01-10-2019 11:58 AM

hey guys.
im looking to get into USGT.
i ran Touring cars back in the 90s (HPI RS4 Pro [1]) was the hot ticket at the time.

looking for something at the top of the competitive curve, but also with good long term US parts supply.
what chassis('s) would be recommended? will be running at N-Control in Austin TX using C6R or C7R body.

I never could get that body to work well. I went to the Venom and I found the pzero to be better as well. I'm going to run the R-Tek this weekend.
