In that order? No. If you can't drive half decently, no matter how good the equipment and setup is, you're not going to do well.

At the paved nats an old shaft drive Tamiya set TQ but was won by an A800. Had a mix of older cars with newer cars and 4 bodies that weren't P-zeroes . Only 3 of those lol

Did everyone miss #3 Good driving skills,
Windy City is a good place not complaining,
Personally I think that all the TC car classes chassis are to complex they require constant ajusting to get faster .
Practice days I can't do so I guess thats my bad luck., My first qualifier is usually my practice . So I guess I'll be looking for something else,

I don't even practice, at most I race 1 maybe 2 times a month and in my eyes I seem to do okay against others. I don't think the chassis are too complex, I think you got to put in the little extra work and study your cars setup against the track condition. If you happen to be visiting the same track just some quick notes on your phone would help. We're all press for time and it's a hobby but if you would like to be more competitive as you already know it will require more work.

Well its nearly outdoor season now so its a completely different world from black carpet racing , Im not the type who gives up. :)

or 21.5T TC is another USGT class with TC tires/body.

stock TC with 17.5T is now at the point where 13.5T stock was years ago in that it is too fast for a stock class. several major races have dropped 13.5T as super stock replacing it with 17,5T and running 21.5T TC as stock or newer class alternative. i sense encroachment, one class robbing the other. does a body and tires only warrant two classes? not as drastic as 2006 when there were at times six TC classes at a event being split rubber and foam

21.5t USGT was first, imo 21.5T TC should also use same spec tire and either type body allowed.

in another 7 years, could VTA be pressured when due to advances and technology stock TC becomes 25.5T. some may laugh, but even in 2010, i bet no one in TC ever would have agreed that 10.5T super/outlaw stock and 13.5T stock would be 17.5T and 21.5T today

If we run the wing set from TAMIYA 54494, do we still have to cut it down to 10mm?

Lexan wing
 

In a word, YES.

The reason I asked is because the BMW in the last post looks like it's not cut 10mm. Just wondering. (I know it's a different wing but it looks like the other TAMIYA lexan type)
