That's debatable, the Venom F5 doesn't actually exist right now.

The Raikari body is actually illegal in USGT. It’s my race body of choice for TCS races. But not allowed to use it at club races for USGT. Pzero is what I’ve settled on for USGT these days |

to some of us "scale matters" looking as real as possible.
with that said i dont have huge issues with either of those bodies. the Pzero probly being ahead of the Venom. Some real looking race liveries would go along way on both. <----owner/operator of The Scale Shop |

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 :)
Durability is nice also and should be pretty close to body weight when assembled.. |
Just got my Tamiya wing in the mail. The full weight of it with the 6 o rings and body clip is 12 grams. The abs plastic wing is 20 grams. I was actually hoping for a bigger weight loss, but the wing is much bigger with steeper angle of attack. Now my nsx body weights 129 grams vs the 98 grams of my venom gt with the protoform body stiffener. Can't wait to see how the nsx body drives. But it won't be for a few weeks though :(

Thanks for the comments on the Ford GT body - I'm painting it up and will be trying it back to back with the P Zero and the Bitty Venom. Got a 2 day race coming up and will go up early on Friday to try out bodies.

Looking forward to getting this one on the track https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rct...6b03ddbfb.jpeghttps://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rct...b9bbe26d9.jpeg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rct...223ad9859.jpeg |
Great paint! I still think these bodies are TC bodies but that paint is awesome!

I have been using the Bitty Venom body since the first of the year. Still not sold on the performance. My major complaint id the flex of the body. When I put 40 grams of weight on the top of the windshield, the body deforms bad. I have been cutting the sides up due to the fact that this flex is causing the side skirts to rub in high speed, especially in sweepers. Wondering if anyone has a descent solution for this issue or similar issues.

Why are you putting 40g of weight at the highest point of the vehicle? Most of the high performance bodies I feel are just as floppy as the venom gt. That is why they only weight 85 grams in race trim. |
