Baxter,

If you need a Can-Am body and the wheelbase is 4 inches, IMHO, the best choice is the O/S Ti-22 408L. If you want a GT-Coupe body, use a O/S Chevron. I'll bet you pick up almost a tenth with those bodies.

Marty:

If I remember correctly, Baxter said they run under D3 rules? If so those 2 bodies aren't legal. It's kind of confusing because they use the F7 and if running 100% D3 it would be a TSR? If they have to use the D3 body list, than the best body choice for him would be the True Scale Ti22 Kirby. I think O / S also makes the Ti22 Kirby body but I don't know what the part number is?

[Noose]

You better check the NorCal or D3 rules you are going by since both of those bodies are not legal in D3 and may not be in the NorCal rules either. The Chevron is in one of the Coupe classes but I think it's the anglewinder class.

If you are looking for a TI22 that is longer but legal I would suggest the Kirby Associated one made by Outisight, Electric Dreams, and True Scale Products.

The OS Part Number is: 415L
The Electric Dreams one is ELEB - 037
The True Scale Products one is TSR 24

Here is a pic of one I just did for Jonathan Forsythe who runs D3 at BPR.

[Neuspeed]

I like this one http://www.e-slotcar.com/products/8453
I see that you can add a rear air spoiler as well?

[Noose]

D3 has what they call Retro Coupe where you can run inline or anglewinder.

The rules are here:
Retro Coupe Rules

Here are a couple of recommended bodies based on what you hear guys are running that should fit on your car. They still may be a bit tight on a 4 inch WB car.

TrueScale TSR15 - Dynamic Gulf-Mirage M2 (as in 1969 Weslake powered coupe)
Outisight OS-460 Vintage Dynamic Mirage M2 Coupe 1/24


TrueScale - Dynamic Lola T70 MKIIIB
Outisight OS-462 Vintage Dynamic Sunoco Lola T-70 Coupe 1/24



Ferrari 330 P4
Outisight OS-424 Ferrari 330P

What Lola body is that?

[Neuspeed]

Its not an approved body but I spent $0 on it and its OK for PCH racing. I have to Ti-22 also i will use those when ever I get to BP. Its a Red Fox
http://www.e-slotcar.com/products/8619

[Noose]

The Red Fox Lola T-160 is a re-pop of the MAC / True Scale versions but is in .007 so that's why you won't see it approved.

[Neuspeed]

Oh I see thats why its so light

[Neuspeed]

I would like to say thanks for all the help that you guys gave and thanks for your time and patience. My car is flying 4.49 using 9/28 and JK 8713PT.

[John Streisguth]

Nice job, keep us posted on the F1

[Marty Stanley]

Baxter,

To save yourself some time on the F1 project, might I suggest you read this post, Build a Killer F1, by Rick Bennardo?

John Streisguth thinks it really works very well.

I know it does.
