AMR 12
Speed 12
Speed 12b
EE1
Speed 8
Speed 8 HD
CRC Bomb er
I would also assume mounting the body forward or aft would make the same changes so would it be fair to say most bodies are mounted to center the front wheel and the rear wheel position would change with the wheelbase.
In my experience.
17.5 is so slow, that traction is not an issue
So i don't see the point in dragging a body with more downforce around the track than necessary, such as the, CRC Bomb er or the AMR 12
For Mod, or in situations where traction is low, more downforce makes sense.
At the ROAR On Road Nationals in practice, I drove an entire lap at Full Throttle with 17.5 boosted, just to see if it was possible.
It wasn't my fastest lap, but it was surprisingly easy to do
For Stock I like the Protoform Speed 12
and the BlackArt Audi
