XRAY - Model racing cars

I'm just wondering what body most drivers are using on their T3 and why. I'm curently using a Protoform Speed 6 and I'm going to try the HPI Subaru....The Protoform R9 body was too agressive on my 008 so I'm leary of trying it on the T3...

Do the HPI BMW M3 190MM Touring Car RC Body #310 fit on the T3?
Have any one tried HPI Touring bodys on T3?
I have just bought the T3 and looking for bodies.
I had planed to buy Protoform LTCR as racing body, but I was looking at the BMW body for training and fun, but I just wounder if it's fits, and how it's handle??

Another question for the guys who racing, do you bodies often break?
Is it worth to put lot of time in painting and decoration of a racing body, or do it often breaks so it's better to make it plain color with stickers??

I find it very relaxing painting bodies. I use tamiya cans and masking tape. I am by no means perfect and we have 2 very good airbrush artists at the club who do good work cheap but still prefer to do it myself. I went through 7 bodies last year and i tried 2 x Madza 6, 2 x Speed 6, Ltc-R, R9R and Dna 2.

I liked the Ltc-R because its an aggressive body but used the speed 6 more successfully as its more consistent. The R9R looks the coolest but doesn't work well. I have the new T3 and will be running the Ltc-R to begin with. I will be trying this Hpi Subaru and the east coast speed 6 for something different.

Here is my latest effort.



Here are some of my previous efforts.

HPI Subaru......Fail

Back to Speed 6

Had some luck with the East Coast Bodies IS250. Very Predictable handle to the car.

these are my efforts for the coming outdoor season

again painted with Tamiya spray cans and using XXXmain mask kits
