My MST TCR is on my dining room table, ready for surgery. I ordered a decent 21.5 motor, I have a itty bitty teeny weenie little Tekin esc-y. I have a 2600mah 110c super shorty battery. I have a 9 gram receiver. And I have a decent shorty steering servo. I think... I can get the car, ready to run, minus body under 800g. The bare chassis is 337 grams... And if I tape the battery on, another 15 grams of screws and battery bracketry can be lost.

Is that light enough? Who knows. But we'll find out. "The car" I've pretty well got settled. What i'm really hear to ask about, is bodies. What should I run on this thing? I looked at the Zoodiac, but I fear it might not clear the motor cage. I traditionally run a Nissan GT-R, as they're quite roomy under the nose. But the bodies I have are also somewhat heavy. What do you suggest? I ... vaguely like the idea of a FWD car, but i'm not bound to it. And with how light the car is, CG is an issue.

Not that I'd recommend it, but the Zoodiac will fit the MST TCR.

Donny's car was DIALED! And, with no weight limit (at least at our club, not sure if that's nationwide), the FWD's are A LOT closer than people think. The hatch bodies look badass too.

What car is the Zoodiac trying to mimic?

Looking for new asphalt track body, but having trouble finding anything good in stock.
MX-STANG, J-Zero or the Zoodiac is all I can find. Any other options to check out?

Will we be required to buy USGT tires at the Southern Nats or do we bring our own this year? I tried to find the info on the flyer, but I must have over looked it!

Thanks!

Just mounted my tires and two of them have a decent amount of wobble. Is this typical or did I get a bad set?

Just to clarify from a official person associated with USGT .
A fwd car must run a fwd labeled body and the body has to weigh in at 95g ?
Seeing that no (or very very few) hatchback style bodies weigh in at or below 85g could 85g fwd bodies be used ?
Be nice to use the same body in 2 classes

why not just make a FWD class? Why mix them?
