The only good looking one here is the one with Kyosho body. That's the #1 reason to buy a K car

I remember there was quite a bit of discussion of the IGT front caster.. Actually I think it is 17 degrees, not 20. IGT uses the same front geometry as the original MP7.5, the optional 20/22 caster came with the Kanai edition that uses a different caster block (20 or 22 deg), different upper arms and longer front universals. Maybe you already know this but just wanted to say what I found out recently.

Twister Tires
I don't know what you guys are running for tires on the IGT I spent a while looking for the GRP's with no luck, I still have yet to try the Kyosho V-slicks myself but on a tip from a fellow racer I picked up some IGT tires from Twister Tires last week.
Had The IGT at the track on sunday after doing a few laps with the stock tires and getting feed up with the lack of traction I slapped on the Twister tires and noticed a difference on the first lap after a few laps the tires warmed up a bit and the traction was amazing although I could still break the back end loose it was a lot harder to do really had to mash the throttle to get it to break loose in the turns. What made it more remarkable was that the track was not swept or blown off and there was no traction compound on the surface and here's the kicker the ambient air temp was about 50f for the high and I was running the harder or the two shores that are offered by Twister Tires.
Needless to say I am impressed by the traction these tires provided under less then ideal conditions has me counting the weeks until the season starts up here, the traction can only get better as the weather gets warmer and the track gets fully prepped.
Here's the link check em out for yourself.

Regg testing with the twister tires in florida @ a high bite track smooth surface 96deg temp it took about the amount of laps for them to come in if your looking for a quicker grip add some paragon,tq,buggy grip to the outer front & in the rear apply the traction compund completly on it & it should really help.

Although i gotta admit that the tires are fairly sticky already and thats in the cold. traction compound and heat should prove interesting. Hope I don't traction roll this beast. lol
