Panoz body got thrashed, going to try the hpi Viper for a change . Ride USGT rims are shallow on the rear, anyone know of a decent 3mm offset rim to fill the void ? And... what will having different offset rims do to handling?
wish id of noticed that it needed 3mm offsets before I ordered.

It looks mean with VTA rims to fill the wheel wells , nice for display but no go race day. Bummer.

I would get some wider aluminum wheel hexes. 3racing makes every size you can think of for cheap. That looks like a 200mm body instead of 190.

First race of the year. I’ve made big improvement over last year. And expect to improve more. With limited turnout from the holiday we ran USGT with 17.5TC.

it’s been through website with the last few. And usually within few days of them announcing it. I’d guess sometime this week.

alot of racers at our track use the exotek p-zero and it's what i went with, i have also seen a racer using a McAllister body, another getting a Montech M10. from a 1/12 scale racer point of view it appears the USGT class is very border line LMP bodies, instead of extreme ramping on the back has posts for a mounted small TC type wing.

that being said, it appears each new TC release is looking more USGT, with the technicality of it supposedly being a 4 door

Kyosho makes a really nice one. Pricing however is somewhat like a real one.

I would love to run their 918 Spyder. But Kyosho body sets are very expensive. 2 x Tamiya’s prices even.

A couple oenof my current bodies. The Ford GT was decent, but the rear washed out. I ended up puttin a cut down TC wing on it and it was really good. I haven’t ran the PZero, get to do that tomorrow.
