GT class--buggy-based on road!

Vary, Vary nice body. And I even like your colors. But where are the light brackets?
#2147
Thanks, for racing you don't need them, they just pop off when crashing.

The DM-1 is the same length as the GT-1. The new GT-2 bodies are too long for the DM-1

It would definitely be nice to see Xray, Losi, Team Associated, GS Racing, and Robitronic enter the fray as well. Nothing like a good variety to make a class more interesting and competitive.
Is there any word on ROAR possibly accepting this class into the mix in the nigh future?

Personally, I don't see too many more getting into this market until ROAR decides to make it part of their collective. It is popular in some areas, non-existent in others, uniform racing rules at some venues, wild-ass rules at other venues. Plus, some of those companies already have their fingers in too many pies to begin with so it may not be feasible for them to jump into this market unless they retrench in other areas.

In Theory
any company that has a good buggy could make the jump - short shocks & towers, road tires and a 2 speed instead of a diff. Its not really much more then that.

It's all about common parts and low parts count......
Associated doesn't have a current 2 speed BUT OFNA developed their own so it's logical that Associated *could* - the question is always how big do they believe the market to potentially be???? And would it be big enough to support another player????
Glad I don't have to make those kinda' decisions!!!!

The next manufacturer in the GT class field will need to have equal or better reliability than the existing players. Right now it would be tough for a third company to commit to a product.
