Should I swap it? - BJoe - 06-11-2006 Should I swap this motor in:popcorn: Well, Waddya say, should I go 3.3 in my Pro.15 N4T and :racing: or am I just :crazy: If I do, got any good high speed, good down force body suggestions,I'm thinking Viper SRT Coupe, C-6 Vette, Intrepid or Charger Oval body, HPI "Stocker", one of the HPI Lambo's (I'm still liking that Countach body:drool: ), or maybe the ProLine 200mm Lola. Should I swap it? - Traxxas_Junkee - 06-11-2006 I say go for it, just make sure you have a vid! And go for the Vette body. Should I swap it? - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 06-11-2006 i hear that the pontiac G6 body has a ton of down force Should I swap it? - firesprink281 - 06-11-2006 do it! and get a good body. the enzo farrari bod was good and so was the the z06 vett. Should I swap it? - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 06-11-2006 Mazda 6 from Protoform or HPI Stratus are also good racing bodies. Should I swap it? - BJoe - 06-11-2006 I've been thinking that the C-6 would be a great body from the first time I saw the real one. I've also got a painted and cut out original style Protoform Dodge Intrepid (one of about two dozen at Aurora when we took over!), but I have to wonder how well this body will do........................... No I'm not expecting much, but I just had to ask :p: Should I swap it? - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 06-11-2006 If you're going drag racing, you should be fine. Otherwise, turning those fronts might be an issue! Should I swap it? - BJoe - 06-11-2006 It won't be slammed when I run it (or should I say destroy it) Should I swap it? - firesprink281 - 06-11-2006 you wont get any down force. i was running a '06 mustang body on mine for a while. and that was tough.you could also ask newguy how much a body matters. he had a nascar body on his ntc3 and i let him try the enzo body, huge difference. i put one of those 3.3 in my jato. its very hard to keep that thing on the ground. Should I swap it? - PoPRC - 06-11-2006 Thats crazy fast. Lola T-530 body will provide the most downforce and is an outlaw class body for 1/10th scale. Now if the 3.3 qualifies then run it at the track. I think with that kind of power your gonna want a body with ample downforce. I am planning on getting the protoform vette body for my R40. I like the way it looks and it doesnt seem like alot of people are using it for a lid. Should I swap it? - Nexus - 06-12-2006 If you are racing a Nitro or Electric TC there are really only 2 bodies I would recommened. Stratus or Mazda6 styles. Someone mentioned the G6...that's more of an indoor foam tire body to compete vs. the Parma Alfa. Should I swap it? - BJoe - 06-13-2006 No competition for this car, it'll just be a high speed basher. I'll probably look for places like the stretch of seal coated asphalt behind the St. Charles store to run the car. When I had the car running a couple of years ago I just ran it like a Bonneville or Maxon (SP?) "land speed" car with occasional bouts of powersliding thrown in for grins. Should I swap it? - Jeepguy - 06-16-2006 Joe, I'd go for it! I would try the Saleen S7 body I think we have on sitting in the Naperville store. Should I swap it? - BJoe - 06-18-2006 We've got a few sitting over here at StC too, but I may have to put that on hold now. Dad and I were working on my Jeep yesterday and as Dad was swapping on new front brake pads he noticed the LF tie rod end boot was torn so I need to replace those first. I'll still send in the Pro.15 for an ERP though.
