i do agree that the roof vent is important for removing the "kite-effect". i just know that on the other companies vented bodies, the large rectangle vents towards the back of the body also seem to create rear downforce on the trucks. i wish sc bodies where as cheap as 2wd buggy bodies, then id just buy it to test for myself
