on an off-roading car, does the body really make a difference with the speed and handling like it does on the onroad cars? becuase i would get like an escalade body that is less arodynamic than the T4 body, but i'm wondering if that will take away performance.

If you plan on racing, I would get the more aerodynamic. Though it may not seem like that big of a deal, it can be. If you get the chance, while your in the car going about 30mph, stick your hand out the window. First make your hand flat, like this- ] and feel the resistance. Than, slant your hand like this -/. You should feel a big difference.

I Race this body and my Blazer Body..........But I race in a tough truck class which requires that you use a standard truck or suv body Stadium bods are not allowed! Racing these bodys take some getting use to! For Example I took a jump got some sick air as a gust of wind came! The wind won!

The Chassis is made out of Lexan! And it takes practice and a few tools to do this! I made this chassis just to be diffrent on the track! I get some Odd Looks! It also power by a SS5800!

YEAH, THAT looks like it would take a lot of skill/practice and that u messed up like a million times because evrything is soo perfect
how much do u think it would cost for someone at me hobby shop to do that, if they knew how to do it?? and how long did it take you?

That is my third but not final attempt at it! Not many people(LHS) will mess with making a custom Lexan chassis even if they could. If you have a T4 then leave it as it is! It's not the type of truck you would do this too. If you want a custom chassis you either have to do it yourself or you could try Cold Fusion they make custom stuff http://www.coldfusionracing.com/ ! As for cost I wouldn't have a clue? all I know is, I couldn't part with one of my babies!
