Nazda4 feels someone like an LTC-R
We did some extensive testing w/ the Nazda4 at Mile High Champs and found that it really depends upon the layout. The Nazda4 has extreme high speed steering so if your layouts have a lot of full or near full throttle turning sections then it will be a great body.
Alternatively, when you have a lot of tight low speed corners nothing seems to match the Nazda2 corner rotation. In fact we had 6 of 10 A-main drivers in 17.5 TC at Mile High Champs --- not to mention it won the 2016 ROAR Carpet National Championship in 17.5 and 13.5 TC the month prior.

we've been seeing a lot of different questions about the best mounting location for the ROAR certified 1/10th EP TC racing bodies. here is our best summary---
Mounting Neutral/Centered on wheel wells in front end:
- Nazda3
- Silvy
- Nazda4
Mounting Extremely Forward -- On Amtx or XRay cars - adjust the rear body post first so that it nearly goes through the rear wing upright:
- Nazda2
- IS-200

I see many people say that the IS200 and Nazda 2 are the bodies to have. What is the direct comparison between the two in terms of handling? What is the reason that the Nazda appears to be more preferred for stock racing and the IS200 more preferred for mod?

The Nazda 2 has less initial steering, and more mid corner steering. The IS200 has more initial steering, and is more stable mid corner. The IS200 also has more downforce so is better at high speed.
N2 is liked for stock for its cornerspeed. IS for mod for downforce and stability. Many peopl like the IS for stock as well, it comes down to driver/setup preferences
