On tire gluing. If your track is low to medium grip you won't need it but you do need something on the sidewalls to slide off the boards. I am working on set up with no glue on a medium to medium high bite track (black carpet). I liked it last Saturday but my laps times were not any faster up front. The big difference was the end of the run. On glued tires the car picks up push late in the run. With the non glued tires that didn't happen. It took several adjustments to get the car to not traction roll but once there it was great.

I also like the McAllistar Mustang but it is listed as a 190mm body so I am concerned about fitment. I can't seem to find any good pics.... Maybe my google skills need honed.

However, if someone knew where I could get one of the HPI 2000 Trans Am bodies that would be SWEET! I'd have a 1/10th scale to match my full scale!

HPI Racing 7447 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am

Did some searching last night and so far no go...

We do make a Le Mans C6 body specifically for the WGT-R cars.....

While I realize you could drive a roller skate with plastic tires and do better than most what was your impression of the 2000 Camaro you tried? I know the TA is going to be slightly different but it should be close.

Thoughts?

I ran it at the Indoor Champs and felt like I was on a island surrounded by Ford GT's. I should have been in the "A" but a small mistake cost me big time on my best run. Ended up B Q 1 and won that race. Just a really good body.

The last pan car I ran was a t-bar oval chassis and these link cars are a new game for me.
