Top 5 best Autoscale bodies for racing?
If you had to nominate the top 5 best choices of Autoscale bodies for racing, which would they be?
While you're at it you might nominate your worst bodies just for giggles. |
best based on what i see on the track:
Mosler 599xx ferrari f430 gt ferrari 360 gtc lexus sc430 5th place is akward given it could be the sc430, HSV, c5-r... |
Tough one,
Big Mac 05' 350Z (my favorite) Ferrari F430 gt ferrari 360 gtc 07' NSX Althought I agree the Mosler is a better all around body, is it considered an AutoScale body? Wade |
if its available as a finished body with wheels, yes. i consider it an autoscale. either way, you always see moslers on the track. i don't care for it myself but you see them everywhere.

Body performance depends a lot on the track layout as well as overall car speed; the only absolute best I can declare at the moment is the Mosler IMO. It just tends to work for most track layouts and traction levels, and for a wide range of motor power as well. If only it were an AutoScale.
1*. MT900 (not ASC though...) For Kyosho bodies the 599XX is the most versatile, but has a pushy characteristic so its absolute speed isn't as great as some other bodies, depending on conditions. Low grip/low speed: 1. Ferrari F430GT 2. Ferrari 599XX 3. Lexus SC430 Super GT 4. Ferrari 360GTC 5. Chevrolet C5-R High grip/high speed: 1. Ferrari 599XX 2. Honda HSV-010 Super GT* (needs some kind of front bumper) 3. Nissan GT-R Super GT* (needs some kind of front bumper) 4. Ferrari 360GTC 5. Lexus SC430 Super GT Individual preferences and characteristics of bodies will change your personal ranking though. For instance, the HSV has so much more corner speed than the 599 that the only reason why the 599 wins is because it's better off the walls. On a track where wall handling is unimportant (such as on carpet with wood rails) and there's decent traction and speed, the HSV will handily trump the 599. On some tracks (RCX 2011), the SC430 will also handily trump the F430GT due to the types of corners that are on the track -- fast switchbacks and chicanes will favor the SC430 while slow corners will favor the F430. |
Best 5:
Ferrari F360GTC Ferrari F360 Modena Ferrari F599XX Ferrari F430GT Honda HSV-010 Worst : Mclaren GTR Longtail Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV |
1)mosler (won the tekin nats) (swept the podium at the pnwc world finals)
2)599 (swept the podium @ the kogp) 3)mclaren gtr (long)(won rcx with this body ) never raced any other body aside from the plastic PN pancar and the PN lexan:D so thats it! |
Supra 2003
Corvette C5R Enzo F360 Never tried HSV010, 599XX nor Mosler because I stopped racing long time ago :D |
Out of my collection:
Best: Ferrari 599 Mazda 787B (in 98mm) Corvette C5 Lamborghini Murcielago (not the newer one) Ferrari 360GTC Worst: Original Teile Benz (it'd make me sick to see one of these out on the track) Audi A4 (don't expect it to last more than 3 crashes) Porsche 962 (same as above... unless you reinforce the hell out of it!) |
anybody else for best and worst?
haven't done any racing in a long time... and when i did... the best body was the clk, and the corvette (which was just released at the time) :D i guess now it's the audi r8... don't have them but i've read that it's the bomb... anybody try ferrari 458? worst? the vitz... 90mm high mount narrow rims... but its so fun and challenging setting it up and racing it... |
I think the Lan Evo VI and the Impreza 22b Sti can enter the contest of worst racing bodies. :D
|
My personal all-time favorite is the Enzo. It is really predictable (and pretty fast) on all tracks I ever went with minor setup changes necessary for the last 5 or more years.
For me on P2-P4: Audi R8 (really good body; fast, excellent cornering) HSV (imho only slightly inferior to the R8) Mosler (preferably in expert classes; in the list though not 100% an Autoscale) For P5 I will just add some great bodies I successfully raced too: 911 GT1 (great 90mm body when needed) 360 Modena & Corvette C5 (loved them on the MR-01 back in the days) As for the worst; never had that body but it looked really bad when driven at our track: Chrysler 300 |
since the best seem to be rather similar i'll add to the worst:
Mercedes CLK BMW M3 GTR Ford Mustang Mercedes G35 (overland, when those were raced) Fiat 500 |
I'm personally now in love w/ the
Mini Mc - like running a smaller wheel base but not having to change the wheel base HSV - like being able to run wide wheels Big Mc - handles, to me, like a small car with big car smooth transitions. only reason i dont run it right now is because of a broken body clip only body i havent like running is the 599, so i'm surprised when i saw it in people's top 5, but a friend of mine is running my 599 now and loves it so...opinions are subjective, but i know it didnt suit my driving style much |
For me personally:
1. Audi R8 2. McLaren F1 GTR (Not longtail) 3. Mazda 787B (lightened rear end) 4. Enzo (with Atomic rear wing) 5. 360GTC From use at my track/shop: 1. Audi R8 2. Tie between Mazda 787B and Sauber C9 3. Tie between Ferrari 458GT and 599xx 4. Tie between Lexus SC430 and Honda HSV 5. Nissan GTR |
