LiteSpeed: My speed record attempt car...

Remember at high speeds the drag is so much that the rigity of normal lexan shells will be insufficient and will need some reinforcing or a whole new shell made in carbon.

I have to say that you have got me thinking about making an top speed car now out of an old tc3 chassis i have sitting around doing nothing.

Thanks for the links there Lutach! Unfortunately I've checked out most of those bodies already, and most of them aren't really aerodynamically suitable...either too much downforce or too much lift/drag. The Oval shells you've pointed to would be fantastic, but they're all slightly "skewed" for oval racing...so in a straight line could cause weird stuff to happen lol. Thanks for the effort though.

Vassmar, you copy cat...lol, just kidding man.

LincPimp: Thanks man. Hopefully with the inclusion of an undertray and the rear diffuser, it should stay glued to the ground with a less aggressive-downforce shell.

Chilled: Don't worry, I've been considering that. I may use some carbon tubing to add support to some more critical area...but it depends on the shell of course. I have another shell in mind which might be up to the task.

Again, thanks for all the support guys! I have a bunch of parts on the way, so I'll post an update when they get all fitted up.

Check into the oval shells. Some of them are not skewed for oval racing. Nic used an oval shell in his 160mph Intimidator.

Yup, I have two of those "Bullet Wedge" bodies here new and untrimmed for sale.

Any takers?
