whats so big about this body anyway. i mean iv had a stratus2 body a bolink superbird a silverado sport truck and a lotus elise(im using this for the novak race) and i dont notice any diference in handling on my car.
...I won't even dignify this with a response. Wait - yes, I will.

When your car handles poorly to begin with, it is close to impossible to notice what changes a certain body will make to your car.

On the other hand, when your car handles well, but you're just looking for that extra bit of steering or downforce... sometimes the body can make all the difference.

That is why... you'll notice, that all the fast guys use one of a handful of body types (it's not just a coincidence).

Ha! Yeah, most of us guys prefer the "narrow" body type, but good luck finding many of those here in good old Land'o'Plenty 'Sconsin.

Wow... I see that went in a totally different direction than Doug probably intended.

I see the telephone game is still alive!

Well I prefer truck bodies. Tough, rugged, take em anywhere, low maintenance, and they don't mind getting dirty.

Stogie,

Now that you have gotten a 1/18th you have entered the world of mullet racing. You should bring it to Abc in waukesha to see the "other" world of racing on tuesday nights. To say the least you will definatly leave with a smile and probly have a good laugh.

Stogie can race the 18T on the carpet with jumps, then we can call him a Hootie Pooper.

The day I enter the realm of hootie-pooper'dom will be a sad day indeed. No, no thanks. I do think these things would be cool as hell on the offroad track at Trackside, but I'll have my B4 running soon, too.

How's the big taxi-cab race going?
