I have been running the Accord body lately and I really like it, but if traction is low I would use the Stratus 3.0AP or the Mazda!

Good luck!!
I feel that the MSX with 2.5 mm chassis carries more speed, especially in low grip conditions. With the 3 mm the car "floats" and itīs difficult to get enough grip but in really high grip conditions I think maybe 3 mm would be a better choice. I now Xray is a totally different car but they always use 2 mm chassis on carpet.
