...the only LEGAL one in isra/usa around here....
There ARE others that have higher downforce or other features - if the local rules allow them.

The Lola body; it works best on the X25 chassis.

The Lola is fast but not durable in what Downriver Speedway calls JK LMP based exclusively on the JK Cheetah 21, a HAWK 7 motor and 10-38 gearing. I took one out of the box and broke it in for 32 laps without breaks and then ran it hard cutting a 5.107 on the Grandstand track. The best I have ever gotten a jazzed up LMP car to go was 4.834. I thnk this is about the best RTR racing package ever in slot car racing.
