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

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.

I like scale too! That's why I ran an MXStang with Castrol livery at tha Hudy last weekend...got lots of compliments too. But the point is that I ran that becauss it's what I like. It is short sighted and bad for the hobby to hassle people for whom it isn't so important. We need happy participants more than we need every car to look 'scale' regardless of how cool that might be.

Good balance and for 99% of the drivers it will be as fast as anything else.
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.

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.
