Do they make 1/10 scale version bodies of the 1/8 scale on-roads? The ones that sit very low and look to have very good aerodynamics?

THANKS! Those are exactly what I am looking for. The only thing that sux, is i just found out that ROAR only allows certain bodies for certain classes. I think thats BS! But whats the reason?

Typically they regulate bodies for a few reasons. One is to even the playing field. So that no one has an real aerodynamic advantage. The other reason depends on the class. Mostly they want to make sure the bodies generally represent the spirit of the class. Like a touring car class. You won't be running wedges, or stock cars or can-am bodies there. Hasta look real....

Plus I think ProtoForm makes their LMP body in 1/8, 1/10 and 1/12 although I don't see the 1/10 on their website....
 
I don't think those bodies Digital Liquid posted would work. Well, I take that back, you could make them work but it would look kinda silly. You'd have to cut out the body to allow various parts to clear. The front shock tower looks like it would be sticking up through the body and the fuel tank would probably be exposed too. As aerodynamic as those bodies are, various parts sticking up would probably mean it's slower than a regular touring body. It would be cool if you had a GT-1 body though.
 
That really sux, I thought they would fit. I didnt really look at them closely though. I guess i gotta get a 1/8 scale on road too now.
