What is your favorite 1/8th on-road body?
The Proline Lola has been around for a while and alot of guys run them but I have been hearing alot about the Whip and the Dome. Have you tried them all and what is your favorite? Which one has more steering or rear traction or easier to drive?

the whip is the best for wide open tracks and dome for tight technical tracks lola good al aoround

Hope this info helps.

are you using the proper body mounts, there are long and short ones, not to insult your intelligence, but thats a mistake commonly made.

Just do what ever it takes to make the body lay on the bumper. I am pretty sure my body is 13mm from the bumper to front of the body on the MRX4R.

I mounted the R10 body 5mm forward on my Serpent 960 and my post are almost too short. I have always mounted all my bodies 5mm forward. With the Audi 03 and the protoform lola mounted in this manner I ran the rear air dam either down or 1/2 the way up but the R10 has so much steering that I run the rear air dam all the way up now.
