Racerb- The stratus 2.0 is a good starting point for our cars. It is relatively neutral handling and smooth. The new losi Lexus is also a good body, you can expect to get more steering @ low speed, and it feels more agile ( I think because it is shorter and about half an oz. lighter). The Losi alfa is also ok, but you can expect less rear grip than the Stratus or Lexus. Something I really Liked @ the Reedy Race was the 2.0 with the old stratus wing. It felt more planted yet still had good steering @ high speeds.-Jeff.
