Next time you go to the track see what guys are running. They can help you get going in the right direction.

That car is an older/outdated model which means that most at your local track will be running something else. Having said that it should be fine for starting out and learning on and if you ask around at your local track you might find someone who has run that car and can help you with setups and such.

Default car

i have been running a NTC3 for 2 years and last won 2nd a BTHB in Memphis and also taking second in points for the year, also won second with that car at a charity race, if you are racing in a bumpy parking lot it is a great car, however if you are running on a sealed smooth track the belt drive cars are much faster, i can help you with setup on that car to make it very competitive.

Rollagen - you have a very competative car. Take some time to learn how to make adjustments to suit your driving style and you will do great with that car
