Looks good...a concourse winner anyday

On the tires, if you contact Thunderpower or The Track (ercwhtsd on rctech), both should have a limited amount of tires left if you want to try them. Jim from Thunderpower says he can start stocking them if the demand is there. I'm thinking it will be from the initial results.

In the main just about everyone went faster over the run and I had the fastest lap before FAILURE took hold...there were 3 of us with 9.2s and a bunch of guys with 9.3s..the tires were just as good as the competion. They ran great all day and I think would still be good for another 2 or 3 days...we ran 3 8min quals and 15min main with little wear showing on the tires...not to mention all the practice on Friday as well.

Nice run on the new Exotek chassis. Wish I could have stayed for the main. Maybe next time I'll do more than 1 full heat. Lol.

This is my sons new usgt body. This is his fourth body that he has painted and only the second one he did 100% by himself. Everything was done with tamiya rattle cans and masking tape. No airbrushing. Please comment.

Nice! I like to think any USGT body is a good one. :)

Thanks for the responses guys. My son was thrilled to read them. It has really encouraged him to get more creative with his painting.

The body isn't quite as pretty anymore because it saw its first race last night. A little wall rash never hurt anything. :D he qualified fourth and finished fifth out of eight cars and he had his cleanest runs ever. I think having that body on the car helped him stay off of the walls.

Sorry I had posted a pic but it was HUGE!!!

You saw it. I never raced it. Didnt want to beat it up, but now im thinking about campaigning it as a USGT car. Bigger selection of wheels you know.

Those rear tires look a little wider than 26mm :D

Yeah thats not how you would see her on the track. She is not numbered up yet either. I think I am just going to paint something else. It hurts to bad to do a candy paint and then beat it all up.

Nice ride. With USGT you might some kind of wing on that thing.

Thanks. Candy paint looks deep doesnt it.

My current battered and well used USGT ride. It's actually my son's Xray T1 I built for VTA, but since he's not racing till summer I commandeered it till I get a new chassis. :D

Very cool. Don't think I've seen anyone use that body at our track yet.

My dad runs an identical team car except his wing is red and he's number 44. Oh and his car is upside down a lot.
