yeh and i hope all you plan on doing is bashing with it casue if you plan on racing with it .................. well lets just say it sucks even with the back wing on it ............... then truck bodys offer very, very , very little downforce to help the back end stay planted to the ground, i bought the hpi body spent alot of time puting a good paint job on it and trimming it..... ony to throw it away after about 15 min of running it on my car hated it with a passion i still have it its like brand new but it just hangs on my garage wall as a reminder to stick with what works ....... lol

jandb917- From your experience what bodies offer the best downforce and all around aerodynamics?

Protoform makes some very nice racing bodies that will fit a ntc3

djmb913- That does look very nice. Do you paint and sell a lot of bodies or was that just something extra you had?

Just something extra I bought from a painter called Snifnfumes. I sold it because I got rid of my on-roads. I've since tried to locate him with no luck since I just got into on-roads again[]

yeh alot of the proto form bodies and even proline bodies in a sedan form offer some good down force some better than others ...... i think my all time favorite so far has to be either a lola body or the stratus

Thanks for the advice guys, I think Ill go for the Stratus body. I could definetely use some more downforce.
