Questions?? body selection

It's interesting how the opinions on body selection vary so much even among very experienced and accomplished racers. Some guys swear by the Audi while that's the only body that I just don't like the feel of. So the moral of the story is to just try a couple of bodies and then pick the one (or maybe two) that feel best to you. My 2 personal favorites are the AMR and the Black Art Mohawk.

+1 Everyone's results are defined by car setup, tire choice, driving style, and surface so its no surprise really that opinions vary so much.

Does anyone know if you HAVE to run the long axle with Pro One wheels? I know I need the different hubs but nothing is said about requiring the axle... I am assuming I don't need it?

You can use them with a standard axle but the axle does not go all the way through the clamping hub. The Pro-one axle is about 3/8" longer thus supplying that support.
