look im not tryna cause any problems...i was just looking @ the realility of the situation....you have two motors...ballistic & SS...(only 2 motors you can use to race in VTA Right)...but one of these motors have an advantage over the other..(right)..the timing in the ballistic has way more timing then the SS Motor...(if there is no rule that you cant turn the timinig up on the ballistic motor) how does that make it fair for ppl that brought the SS Motor...thats all i was tryna to get across.....unless the rules state that ballistic can only use so much motor timing......im not complaining...just thinking because i was just about to order a 25.5 motor & i was going to get the SS.....But as like anyone else that race...no one wants to be @ a disadvantage....so robk or anybody could clear this up for me......dont get me wrong i love VTA i do well @ vta i been doing it for the last 2years....i repeat this is not a complaint

Our club is running 1/12 17.5 as a "spec" class. I had to run my old GTB 4-cell since my KO's weren't back from getting the "Spec" upgrade. Pretty much everybody else was running Tekin on 208. My car was EMBARRASSINGLY slow by comparison on the straights.
We'll be watching. There is a rumor afloat as to what the "problem" was, will be interesting to see if it pans out. Regardless, I'm sure Tekin are doing whatever it takes to satisfy ROAR and regain certification.

hi everyone....
turning the timmng up on either motor will increase the temps...thus making it slower in a 8 min main...Im not a motor guru, but I have all 3 motors and they all seem equal with the right gearing....
both my SS(TC3) and Ballistic(TC5) are set to the middle, and they are great for all types of tracks .....
Im very happy with the motors that Novak put out for our class...
and Snoop if you want that body...buy the Sprint Sport and sell the chassis and radio...and keep the rims/tires/body....it works for me...since CC hasnt sent mine either...hi again..lol

I guess I have to drive to Nashville if I want a decent VTA race. You will have to throw me in with the kids because I havent driven VTA in a while and I wasnt that good then.

I posted this in the Ofna JL-10e thread but got no response. Maybe someone here can help us out.
We have a new guy at our carpet track that purchased a JL-10e used. We believe it to be all original but can't be certain. We are struggling with set up. It pushes really bad under power. Turn in is pretty good. I have laid down the front shocks all the way, stood up the rear shocks all the way. Ride height is about 4.5 in the front and 10 in the back. Droop in the front is almost nil. It's better but still not where it should be. Can someone that races this chassis on carpet please share their setup so we can get him on pace with the rest of us?
Thanks

We are working on starting up a VTA class here but due to the carpet and other factors we don;t have very good grip. The existing club members that run 1/12 have asked us to run foam tires. Does anyone know of any foam (hard compound) that have a 6mm offset or that will work at all?
Thanks
