GLARCRC is hosting some Nitro GT8 races. Track is large enough and of enough of us show up, maybe we can convince them to give us our own race.

I'm heading there on Saturday Feb 9th with my friend Jayson for practice day. Feel free to join us.
I would go up, but my buddy Aaron has work on Saturday's. I would definitely make the trip up on race day! Feb 24th may work.....I'll talk to Henry @ GLARC.

I'm in!

Jayson, will find out next Saturday.. Sweeps are usually pretty good. I've learned to rely on PMTs 20fr / 10 rear.. I'll let you borrow a set see how you like them..

Im not a big fan of french hatchback rally cars, but I have to admit, this is one of the best looking GT8 (short wheelbase) bodies to come out in a long time

Hello from France,

some pictures from our last season round of "The GT8 Challenge".

12 nitro cars vs 20 electro cars !!!

As always, we raced all the day with only one set of the same tyres for everybody...

This final round was awesome with the big Tombola !!!

Some lots:
- HobbyTech STR8 GTe Race Roller
- 2 Losi Micro cars
- 2 micro quadcopter

30 drivers were very happy to win nice presents!!

Enjoy the Gallery. Some nice videos to come.

Au revoir.

Hey guys need some advice. I need to rebuild my F/R diffs on my IGT2 and wanted some suggestions. It's been a while since I did them and can't remember exactly what I used. Lets put it this way, I have a bottle of Ofna 120k and 50k I used last time.....I think. Anyway your input is appreciated. Btw, I run the Blackhawk tranny in the center.

That's about the fluid weight that I use. It should work just fine. I used epoxy to lock my center diff.
