Note that this is still a VERY aggressive car. I didn't lay the shocks down at all or do anything else to soften it. I still have that in my bag.

Side by side comparison of the J-Zero to the P-Zero:
- J rear wing sits lower than the P but has a more aggressive angle of attack.
- P hood is slung lower than the J(had to raise my body posts)
- J is roughly 10-12 grams lighter. The P has thicker lexan.

What are your impressions on the track?

Got a chance to run it this past weekend. The body handles very nice. Car felt planted and had plenty of initial steering. I mounted it roughly 6mm forward like I usually do. Did not get a chance to run a comparison back to back, needed to change ballast as the J-zero is lighter. Definitely a good thing now as the weight can be added down low where it should be. But It feels equally competitive as the P-zero. Looks fast on track too!

What is the actual weight you are getting on your J-Zero? Every P-Zero I’ve painted/ran comes in at least than 100g. With the numbers you’d posted, your body would weigh between 80-85g, but my math or base numbers could be off.

And I do this with it, car number 5, what is that 1 one 100th off TQ..... clip the corner marker and wound up on my lid😬 you can be fast with most body as long as you set the car up around it, and you can look good too....... now I am in the process of doing up one of the new J-Zero with molded Wing mirrors and a nice decal set I'm very curious to see how it will perform I'll post pics weight and give a performance update soon to follow😁
