Author: Brian Ma (color01) This is a slightly bulky, but very strong body, great for racing Pan Car class. The plastic is quite thick so clipping it onto the chassis takes some effort, but once its on it stays on well. I've never once had this body come off on the track.
Performance-wise, this body provides a nice amount of downforce which gets felt once the car's at speed. The adjustable spoiler particular to this shell, however, comes in handy when you need to quickly tune the amount of high-speed steering.
It also doesn't catch RCP rails as easily as an Atomic VDSII does, which is great for non-pro drivers.
One of the downfalls of this body is the lack of transparent window glass. If you use an infrared-based timing system, the only option you have is to either use the hole in the top of the shell or drill another one. Another, more minor problem is the edge finishing: though the body itself is smooth, the edges (presumably, where the mold separated) are rough and unfinished, and can catch on the track if your ride height is low enough.
Aside from those two quirks, this is a very solid product and will last many races on the track. :)
