Almost Anything made by TrueScale !!,... :D

But seriously, the Long 'Kirby' Ti-22 is Easily and quite simply THE Most effective body of choice around HSC and as for long Lasting/durability, .., easily Once again the 'Truescale' version is the Best.

Victors body's easily have the most consistent Side thickness (on Both sides) of the body and are crisply molded and strong.

The "Dave Bloom" Waters/Champion 612 Ferrari is also a Very effective body as well.
It along with the Ti, have Proven by their Win rate to easily be the Best.

Depending on the guide lead of the chassis, the Short nose Ti could also be good and I have also enjoyed the long 'Kirby' (i believe) Ferrari 612 also by Truescale.

Am hoping a few of the 'Original' Dave Bloom Waters/Champion McLaren M8's will become available shortly, which Was and Should also be a Very effective body,..as it Was all those years ago, when it was THE choice of the Pro's of the Era.

If I was to run a Faster Track,..perhaps either of the above mentioned Ferrari's, or as has been proven many times in the 'States', the Truescale Lola T160.
