Punches a smaller hole in the air. More speed.
You could look at it as the other bodies are big.

That is just my 'pinion.
We'll have to wait for Ralph's answer on design.
I do see Wing car bodies getting smaller. They have become so short they don't even cover the chassis. The Warrior being narrow at only 3.125" is puzzling though.

It's an undercover 1/25, boys.

The Warrior was designed to be a high speed/low downforce body so it is a little smaller than most 1/24 GTP bodies.

Ralph,
Have you or do you intend to submit this body to the USRA?
Or is that not necessary anymore?
Looks real fast...

I can say I've been pleasantly surprised by the Warrior. Ralph was kind enough to submit one for approval for the Ohio Challenge Cup's 2017-18 rulebook. It's a very well made and slippery body, and thus far it seems it pairs best with the Cheetah Aeolos even on my twisty hillclimb.

Thanks, designed for which chassis/class?
