anyone know the offsets for the DBR9??

I have one, but can't find the original ASC wheels (doh!) and the ones I thought belong with the body are too narrow - the wheels don't fill out the wheel wells...but I did find that the enzo ASC wheels fit pretty good - this true or am I nuts?

I think they may be 1N/2W, or something like that... My setup is 2N/3W Enzo wheels should fit well... I put the body on my pan car MR02 chassis, and it fit perfect. I think with a different front tire, it would work perfect.

Arch - I LOVE this body...I was able to drive it much more agressively than I was my Enzo...TO me, it almost felt like my 575GTC that I drove at the ALS race last year...

Its a very very very sweet body

The DBR9 is a nice body. I put it on my pan car setup last night, and it drove well. I would need to change the front tires for a little more steering, but it is very stable and carries speed through the corners.

i also tried this body on my pan car chassis and had very good results... also had to change the front tires... found it to work the best on my awd...

I'm using a white body Austin Martin DBR9 on my AWD. it works with the Enzo wheel offset. This body is lighter than the Enzo body. meaning that the body is more thinner than the Enzo body I've previously used. Before using the car body, the front lip must be cut off and the side bumper parts (left/right) must be glued to the side of the car for more body rigidity since the lip was already cut off. The side bumper if glued flushed to the car body helps the car slide off from the RCP side rails. Just make sure that the side bumpers are really flushed to the car body. Also the rear defuser must also be cut off or trimmed by at least 1.5 mm. I've trimmed mine. The defuser helps the car body withstand a direct hit from the rear.

I didnt do any of those mods to mine, and it handles great. Its a little sluggish on turn-in compared to a few others Ive tried recently, but it was good on AWD and MR02. It sits on my mod MR02 right now which previosly ran a pan car shell. Ive got the WTF with 0n up front with 3w rears. There is clearance aft, but the front needs -1n or the wheels/tires are a tad exposed.

I noticed the same with my Aston. I drove it for a while with 0N Kyosho wheels on the WTF, then switched to -1N ATM wheels. The wierd thing, is that I think they stick out the same as the 0N Kyosho wheels... I am thinking about removing the WTF and trying 1N instead, or even 0N.

As far as the slow turn in, what spring are you using up front? I had to go to a softer front spring compared to what I was running with the Mazda body that had much faster transitions, but less dig in the mid corner.
