On an outdoor asphalt track with a straight a little over 100 feet, I geared at 3.0, which by the way is to the moon and then subtract 2 teeth.

Sunday exactly what I'll be doing with mine...and, what I've done work other vehicles in the past - having a 'race' body, and a 'show' body. Nothing wrong with that.

I think I may have narrowed down my body choice to the Bitty Agata or the Seven20...

Kind of leaning to Lambo over Mclaren but any opinions on these?

If you want the best performance out of a body for racing, the ZooRacing BWOAH and Zoodiac, Exotek P1Z, and up and coming Montech Akura are the go to bodies. For aesthetic and dang good looking the Agata and Seven20 are good choices. The Seven20 will be better than the Agata for racing. Agata is just to numb.

As far as bodies, in the old days the Riley GT from McAllister was the fastest. When it was outlawed I looked for a similar body and settled on the P Zero. I still run this body, just seems to be the fastest for me.

Pick a few bodies and just have fun trying them both. Sportsman drivers shouldn't take body choices too seriously

Correct
The body started off life as a GT12 shell, and then a USGT variant was made

I know it's a larger version of their GT12. I was talking about what real-world car the GT12 1/12 scale, & GT3 1/10 scale, bodies the design is based on.

For example, the Bittydesign AGATA is, obviously, a Lamborghini knockoff, as Bittydesign doesn't want to pay the licensing fees. Many other body manufacturers (including the major companies) do the same thing. I'm guessing that the same holds true for MonTech.

Body choice (approved bodies) is overrated when most sportsman drivers are making driving mistakes and set up mistakes. I own a track and see it week after week. The body will not correct any of those issues

We have big turn outs for USGT so have an expert and sportsman class for USGT. Bodies matter for expert drivers, not at all for sportsman. Drive perfectly fast and clean in sportsman in our groups for 5 minutes and you will end up on podium regardless of the (approved) body.

Just have fun with your body choices if you are a sportsman.
