I've tried them at the local track. I had to add 2 degrees of camber (1 static and gain of one on compression) to the rear to keep the rear planted. Anyone else feel like they take away rear traction mid-corner?

On asphalt, they take away grip on all corners haha

I do something similar on my FG sportline, a Flying Lizard Porsche GT2 LeMans replica.

Mine work fine on the rear, but on the front I went to the thicker AT13W wheel hex.

I am sure this has been asked in the past but I am new here and reading 700+ pages of posts is really hard.

I am looking for USGT body advise. I just raced a Seven20 last weekend and it was fine but wondering if Exotek R-Tek and P1-Z are better bodies.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Exotek P1-Z or Zoo Bwoah are really the only bodies to consider.

Carpet or asphalt? Big track or small track? It's all relevant.

My opinion from running both:
Exotek P1-Z - High Bite Black carpet
Zoo Bwooah - Low/Med Black carpet

come on Jeff, really.... anybody can make any body fast and win if you tune it to the chassis...some bodies are just easier to get there like the P-zero...but Ive won with different bodies including the PF C8 and Ford GT....

I say pick a body you like and tune it from there... be different and show out

You almost always run on carpet where body has less effect . High grip and dialing grip out is easy. Fighting to gain grip on low bite asphalt with unbalanced bodies that have little downforce or are one or the other . Is harder to make a car handle . It’s easier to stick with bodies that work or are more balanced
