Protoform has a new Corvette for 1/8. Only a matter of time and we will have a 1/10 version.

Not sure about that, I think Vaterra has the 1/10 rights for a couple years from what I hear.

The exclusive rights vaterra had on the Vette ended 12/31, that's how PF was able to do the 1/8 body now. There should be a 1/10 coming soon, I hope.

Is anyone familiar enough with specs of the BSR BT-4 21.5 RTR to tell me if it is good to go for racing USGT out of the box. I'm wondering about the front dif in the car vs USGT rules but am pretty new at this still so not sure.

You can run a diff in the front, there are no rules against it. I have one in the front of my Tamiya Evo6 that I run. You want to put a very heavy fluid in it though. 500k - 2.5million weight.

Besides, everyone knows that its the anodized aluminum parts (especially purple) that make the car go faster.

Yes. Anodized + Aluminum = more faster.

I also run a diff in the front of my Serpent Eryx. I use 2.5 million weight fluid. Car has crazy good turn in and the longer you run, the better the front grips. I recommend it highly. Plus, it's a lot less wear on the drive gear than a spool.
