Changing bodies will often require a different suspension setup just to get the car to handle properly.

geeunit, actually Tyco came up with the scale speed advertising to sell their toy R/C cars.
"Our 1/12th scale general lee goes 8mph, that's 96 mph in scale speed!"
In reality anybody will tell you 8mph will net you 8 miles in an hour, no matter how tiny the vehicle is.
The fullscale nascar body in a 10 mph air stream will net more downforce then an R/C car body would, since it has much more surface area........

So what's the best carpet setup right now with foam tires? I was thinking about starting with BK's setup from earlier this year.

but 10 mile per hr wind wont move it like it would an rc body because of the weight to mass difference....like I said...time some laps with a body on an average track....then pull the body off and time some more, you can deny it all you want, but you know what the results would be......
