Myself and all the A main drivers at our club are using that body. It has phenomenal downforce for the front, which is letting us just send it into the corners. I don't even need to glue the sidewalls on my fronts because the car is so glued on the track.

I didn't see anyone use it in the last B main. C main - I dunno; wasn't paying attention.

I think I counted four or five Venturis in the last race. You missed a hell of an A main race this last weekend.

Has the tire compound received an update? If not, they aren’t worth gluing, because they aren’t worth running outdoors, It will kill the class if a change isn’t made.

The Florida State Series runs the unbelted Gravity RC tires as the USGT control tire outdoors and they are fine. Not as fast as the Sweep 36 tires that are the sedan control tire but they have decent grip and are fast for a reasonable time depending on the track. I think the guys here us MR33 traction compound.

I don't glue mine. Mostly because my setup is heavily inspired by how an F1 car is set up.

Well, at least you have USGT or VTA around you........closest I can come is TT-02 classes which I am dabbling in now along with 2wd buggy.

While USGT seems to be a constant struggle for the "spec" items like tires and motors at least there are people that want to run in that class.

That being said, there is a summer "outdoor on-road" that I am curious as to what classes they will offer, fingers crossed.

Extremely stiff chassis, parallel/anti-ackermann steering, bumpstops, anti-dive/anti-squat/anti-lift geometry, caster to suit your driving. Dial in or dial out the grip with anti-rollbars and caster.

Other drivers have driven my car and they tell me it's quite agile and quick.
