well the Gravity version is faster out of the package and not a pia from ballooning.

Best way to attach the rear bumper on these old car body's? I've got some rear bumpers to paint chrome and attach. Thinking 5min epoxy? Less weight the better. Lol.

My first try with the Gravity RC VTA pre-mounts on asphalt yesterday.
I wont try to make any kind of scientific comparison to the other VTA tire brands.
All I can say is they started making plenty of grip within a dozen laps or so, and I like the way my antique car (T2'008) handles with them.
As for sauce, I did try a very thin coating of FXII initially, but I quickly decided this was a mistake. After driving thru that I did not sauce them again all day.
Perhaps this will change when the temperatures increase.
Cheers.

Interesting, getting old blows, It would seem I was remiss in my memory banks in regards to saucing VTA tires, that is inline with what I was doing last year, Saturday I was using Paragon, Greasy Greasy, couldn’t remember them being that bad, makes sense now.
