Nice looking body man. That's what the origin of this class is all about..

I don't blame you for not wanting to running the caddy body.. Caddy and GT are an oxymoron, Regardless of the corvette engine they shoe horned in there..

I'd bet it would push less if you take some rear wing out of it...that's a LOT of wing.

Speaking of crazy drag, I'm thinking about trimming a wing down significantly for my 25.5 car to see how that does. Where are you racing this weekend? N-Control won't be running - Easter.

50/50 ain't bad. Definitely a domestic theme. I think the other group had 6 Caddies though. The Ferrari sure was pretty going around the track.

Mikes moved our club race to this saturday instead of sunday because of easter.


So i am going to try this aero package out this weekend. i have some ultra light Carbon to remake if it works. the difuser i made for my sons caddy worked really well. i did a back to back run with it and it was noticeable coming on to and getting off of the straight. his car always has oversteer.

The HPI lambo murcielago was a better handling body than the caddy I run now. Ill retire the caddy in a heart beat if I can find a decent looking lambo.

LOL, that blue Lambo was legendary in Texas USGT history. Awesome run on Sunday, Billy!

If you go to the Delta Plastik USA site, you'll find this body. Their bodies normally come in 1mm thickness (about .040). Ask them if they can get it in 0.75mm (about .030). They've been able to get some for me in the thinner material, but you'll need to ask.

Here is another choice if you want a Lambo. I've run these a few times. I like them.

Delta Plastik USA does do bodies in .75mm lexan. We have a couple of approved bodies in stock and would be happy to order any that you want in the thinner material. Just send me an email at [email protected] and let me know what you would like to get your hands on
