I'm playing with the Associated Corvette body now--it does look really nice. Most people are running the Sophia body--and the CRC car, Associated, and Xray cars ALL are as equal in performance as I've ever seen!! These cars are SOO equal in performance, that it's coming down to perfect tuning, exact rollout, and perfect driving to really get the most out of them. It's like the WCRC Super GT class, only cheaper to get into and easier to make the cars work exceptionally well. Gt bodies, 1s lipo's, 13.5 and NO timing ESC's-- along with SPEC tires from Jayco--simple PAN chassis--I'll bet even the older cars would work well! And come race!! Their times on the carpet have been equal to the 17.5 no timing touring cars!!
Bodies that I know of that work well-
Protoform--
Sophia
Peugot
McAllister-
Ferrari
Associated
Corvette
I'm sure there are more--those are just the one's I've seen at the track working well.
