Lame... lol... when onroad starts back up I'll let you take my nt1 around a few times. Electric sedan on asphalt parking lot is a hackfest. Lol... No way to have clean races is what drove me crazy.

Hey Charlie,

You're planning on coming here for a visit? Would be great to see you.

I'm not sure when they plan on starting back up, it's still pretty cold out here.. Hopefully soon, my cars are collecting dust

Hey Johnny,

Regarding the RCGT class, the original two version of the HPI X-Pattern have been discontinued and all thats available are the D-Compounds and they are junk.

A lot of tracks have changed the rules to address this. When I was in California, I raced in a class called GT10. Basically its RCGT with an open tyre on a spoked rim (no dish wheels). Later there was a GT10 Spec class and the spec tyre was by Gravity RC.

[/QUOTE]

The other class is the USGT and that also has a spec tyre by Ride.

I personally like the GT10 open tyre because it allows you to run what you have. In the end, everyone will probably settle on a tyre that performs best on the track.

Hey guys, last race I tried out the rcgt tires from gravity and they're awesome. I might even try them on my sedan. The x patterns were junk out there for me.
