One of the best things about the spec motor is the conservative fixed timing. I can run that motor with tons of gearing and never get it above 130F in Arizona in the summer time.

We've been running 17.5 USGT'esqe "scale touring" up here in Southern Oregon on our bimonthly temporary office carpet track. Track is normally used for carpet off road. Move the pipes, move the jumps, party on. Carpets version of parking lot racing! Everybody had spare 17.5's from racing off-road so we went with what would get people into on road the easiest without spending money. Starting to gain traction and we can slowly move the class to conventional USGT..

But I'll say not a single person has complained about getting out horsepowered. We have mixed 4wd's and FF's. Everybody having fun. No motor wars

No, no. Please tell me how it all went down. You seem to have the information. Enlighten us.

Not your fault, but those headlights are just ok.. It would be nice to print a copy of the real-looking ones.
The paint looks really nice.

The head lights are a highly detailed vector file of 993 lights. I tweaked them to fit this body. I prefer them to the ones that came with the kit 🤷🏻‍♂️

Sorry, I was thinking about clear headlights like the road car, but forgot yours is a race body and yellow headlights have been on 24hr race cars too.
