2: I am looking to buy most of the bodies on the roar aproval list, just to see how each handles and where it is best used. I never really understood the concept of downforce, and my question is, do open cockpit bodies offer more or less downforce? Running on carpet, wouldnt I look for a body with less over all downforce? Lastly, concerning the trinity T-310 body. Will it fit on other chassis(specificaly an L4) or was it designed to fit on just the reflex?

Thanks
CRC front wheels use unflanged bearings.
I've seen the T-310 mounted on L4s and other cars, it should fit yours ok.
Generally speaking you need less downforce on carpet because the traction is high.

I can't answer your other questions. Anyone?
