At our track SS Raceway in Tampa, most are running 70w or more in the shocks.
Diff oils in the front are 50K & up and rear diffs are 10K to 30K in most cars.
We're racing with sway bars and the Kyosho 55 shore V-slick rubber tires. IGT Spec class racing is a lot of fun.
If you haven't seen the video yet, here it is again.

This is an awesome class. I would almost trade my MTX4R for one of those if we had that class. Touring cars are too fragile. I think the idea of an onroad car with off road toughness is exactly what the hobby needs.
Cool video.

When I broke in a new GXR28 it acted similar. Ran very hot for a number of tanks. I was trying to just break in by idle (it was my first ever brand new engine and I didn't know there were other options). If I did one again, I'd probably try the Cyrul method on it or something similar.

If I did one again, I'd probably try the Cyrul method on it or something similar where you run it open throttle (or maybe 50% throttle) but extremely rich.

Guys, I have a question, since you can not get GRP tires, what do you think of replacing GRP with the following:
SWK2859 http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...ProdID=SWK2858
SWK2858 http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...ProdID=SWK2859
They are Sporkwerks tires...

These tires are about a millimeter in diameter bigger than the tires on the IGT. I compared them today in my LHS that sells the IGT car. These Sportwerks tires will not be a good substitute because like others have mentioned, it will jack with the set-up of the car.

Keep in mind that 1/8th scale onroad and 1/10th scale onroad classes use foam tires that change in diameter over time. Those guys get used to adjusting the handful of setup differences on a setup board.
If the difference is really only 1mm, the change to your overall drive ratios would also be minimal but you'll run slightly higher geared (more speed, less acceleration).
I wouldn't hesitate to use these if I no longer had access to GRPs.
