Finally, a cool body for a 200mm pan car.

Would love to see these take out the current  FUGLY WGT bodies

The body does look good, but unfortunately I dont see them allowing an LMP style of body anytime soon.  The WGT is okay the way it is, and acouple of new bodies have finially come out for the class again.  Allowing a LMP body would be opening a can of worms.. (Cause I would run a P235 Body! :-) )

except pro 10 in its glory is 235mm and this body is 200mm. Agreed it will be unlikely this body will go mainstream but more likely than 235mm making a comeback (unfortunately). CRC released a 235 conversion for its current car, pretty much based on our clubs demand, and IROCC were the only ones that purchased any, LOL, no kidding. I like WGT because it has people running 10th scale 2WD but its not that strong. We (the onroad hobby in general) need a real scale class thats raceable. Like Short Course trucks. Of course we have a good one already, touring cars but they have been around a long time. They could make touring car bodies match exactly german DTM cars or Aussie V8 Super Cars and we would have a true scale class. We have F1 but they are slower than molasses (maybe they'd be better on foam?).  the body in this thread is at least an attempt to make something scale that we already have, like SC trucks did.

And there's talk of a long wearing rubber tire for this class as well.

Fastest growing class is F1 Racing on Rubber.    Scale, Spec, and cheap.   The cars are a reasonable speed to everyone can drive one.
