XRAY - Model racing cars

Hi i was wondering what body shells we are all using on what surfaces and how well they work also what wing are we all using???

It would be nice to gain some info on how body design changes the cars handling.

Protoform has a "track guide" on their home page.

For carpet, Protoform Mazdaspeed 6 Lightweight. For asphalt, Protoform LTC-R lightweight.

I do not want to be contentious but I would like to draw a difference here between supported team drivers and the club driver, particularly inexperienced and on a limited budget. In my experience lightweight shells are just too fragile. I tried the Mazdaspeed 6 lightweight several years ago and gave up after the two I tried lasted no longer than a couple of meetings each, both being wrecked by hits from the rear. My normal Speed 6s will last me half a season and are then retired as practice shells

I would accept that if your are running 17.5 blinkey then the hits are unlikely to be as hard
