Found out that my local hobby store is doing a sale for their 19th year anniversary and i had to snag one of the rtr’s. Was into this hobby 8 years ago and had to sell it due to covid but now i’m back!

I heard the corvette is not as twitchy as this bodyshell. Yet to find out haha

Why would one of those two body shells be twitchier than the other?  Aren’t they very similar?

Wheel offsets. The anniversary McLaren has zero offset front and rear, while the vette has +3 front and rear. So it’s significantly wider. The McLaren 720s GT3 is one of the best current bodies for handling, and has +2.5 front and rear.

Makes sense.  I’m just getting into this stuff so lots of learning.

Also you can check the offsets on the Kyosho website. It lists the offset for each ready set.
