RaceVTA said they will have the kit w/alum chassis in stock within a week. Can't wait to order mine. Already have new motor, esc, servo, VTA body and tires 
I would like to order some springs with it. What would be the hot setup for black carpet (not CRC, the stuff with a little less grip). Looks like the kit comes with 5.5 springs. I was thinking something a little stiffer, like 6.0T (hope I am deciphering there spring weight correctly).

If you want to go stiffer, you need to have springs with less turns than the original ones.
More turns equals softer!

Thanks for the insights!
Yes, we will run at San Marcos and Santee, as both are nearish. Santee more so. We are in East County.
RCPassion puts on a great event.
Regarding extras, Im trying to walk the line of not buying everything right off the bat. I’m basically building two cars and I won’t my son to have some “buy in” if you know what I mean... I do want to have some of the things that make the car “better”.
Thank again!

I've been running exclusively in USGT. I just bring the spring set and ball stud washers with me and make minor changes if warranted with roll center. I'm at the point now where i definitely can see the car is a bit 'lazy', probably due to the chassis flex. But i really enjoy driving it regardless.
BTW, we run open motor for USGT also. Recommended gearing i was given when i started was a 4.25FDR which worked great for me at the San Marco's events. At the Santee location, the straight can be made much longer so i geared up a little more because the car sounded like it was topped out before halfway down the straight.
