I am not at your track. I can't stop you from running this DP body if you love it with so much passion. Your track director will probably not care. But the next step will be Porsche 962s and "wedge" bodies, which will probably cause just as much consternation. So this is where we are at. Nobody is ever happy, so that probably proves we are doing it right.
Exactly my point, a body based on a prototype car that has been produced for 6 years now is banned but at the same time a body based on a concept vehicle is on the "list"
So now racers can complain that a body is being used from a vehicle that really doesn't exist yet lol

That's a great point- mirrors would be awesome to add on for additional weight .

When the father to USGT, GT10 began, it was more popular than VTA because of the cultural diversity that exists here in Southern California. Guys from all over the world who lived here identified with a different group of cars while growing up. They wanted to run exotics that most of us would never be able to afford. So out they came! The Lambo's, Ferrari's, Porches ect were all out. We ran spoked wheels on HPI X pattern tires. But we also had mirrors, windshield wipers and rear exhausts as mandatory with authentic paint schemes and assigned car numbers. All of these body add-ons will add some weight to your chassis. You can get most of these items today on the drift rc sites

Another way I added weight to a light car was to use wheel hubs that are molded like disc brakes. Sometimes it's hard to find a spot for a bunch of weight on the chassis. The drift class has brought some of these items up to awesome detail. Sometimes it's also cool to look good while going fast

And if it never makes it to production, you can take it off the list and pretend it never happened like with the Furai?

I made my car just like my 17 Z06. It brought a whole new form of excitement to RC for me.
