CLEARLY answers your question on the top of the USGT rule page. NO its not allowed.

Any 190mm or 200mm body.Body can be any body that is NOT or HAS NOT BEEN on the ROAR T2 body list.

Timing question. I just started running on-road and I went with the GT class to get my feet wet. I'm slowly working out the gearing since I run on a very small crc track. Fast guys are putting down mid 7's consistently while my average was 8.1. So that tells you how small the track is. I picked up a Reds 21.5t and gearing ratio is 3,993 but feels like mid range is kinda weak. I've been looking into the timing and I've seen the "sweet spot" is pulling 6 amps. I believe I'm at 40* if that helps any. Would the lack of mid be from timing or gearing? It's also a MTC-1. Not the norm but it's what I went with. Thanks

stay away from the 6amp myth , my 21.5 barely pulls 3.8 amps and it’s ballistic

Obviously, it's based on the Toybaru (aka Toyota 86 (previously-known as the Scion FR-S & Subaru BRZ). So...the BIG question is - Will this qualify for USGT?
no it is not legal as in the release it clearly defines the body as a new TC body

+1.. mine is a tick over 3 amps. That myth needs to be clarified by motor turns.. 6 amp for 17.5-25.5 is not a good idea

... to each is own

very few people give all their reasoning, logic and additional details behind what they do.. 6amp is only one ingredient to the full recipe...

i borrowed a motor, applied my 6amp full logic and strategy. WON.. period

granted that was for FWD, but i would do similar for 4WD..

There is also probably a 4amp strategy.. maybe even 7amp strategy..

I'm not really sure in what alternate dimension that looks like Toyota 86 or a BRZ.





There is a ton of distortions from any realism on that Bitty body, and it's 4 door. In any case, the other guys already brought up the fact it is intended to be a T2 sedan body.

That is a no.

If you look at the unpainted clear body pictures you can see it has 4 doors. Also the 3d renderings shown on their website has 4 doors.

Nope not seeing the Toyota / BRZ their, even with beer goggles... just looks like Bitty is trying to get a piece of the new Zoo Racing / PF game.

In other new has anyone run on the new gray carpet in USGT. Thoughts. Any change in setup? How do you find grip?

Got it up to 3.6 and it’s now completely different. Thanks. Now I just have to stay on the line
