Is there another body that is an acceptable alternative that will improve the handling over the BMW?
I have an Audi R8 that is ready to go but I've been hesitating to use it because of some feedback I've heard from others that have tried it. I've only been back into RC racing for about a year now so my experience with bodies is rather limited....any input is welcomed.
Thank you,
I've run several different BMW touring car bodies from HPI & and Tamiya and I'm currently running a Protoform ZL1. I find the handling on the Camaro very similar to the BMWs. Very neutral/balanced front/rear traction that doesn't change at speed. However, I don't usually run the stock wings. I use the big molded ones from HPI part number 85197. I used the big wing with the BMWs but I had to switch to the smaller "scale" wing from the set with the ZL1, the big one was just too much downforce on the rear.
Next up is a McAllister MX-Stang if I ever find the time to finish it.
