Can anyone tell me when the new "season" starts? I want to join the points series, just to have my own personal number.

This years championship in both VTA and USGT could well be decided at The USVTA/USGT Summer Slam at The Gate July 17-19.

Anybody know what oil is in the STOCK TC4 club racer shocks ? Want to put it on my set-up sheet. Until I up-grade them.
Thanks

John Wallace - our OUTLAW VTA allowed open 21.5 "Roar Legal" motors, and Any "Roar Legal" 2c battery.

For my car, I'm using "OLD STOCK" that I already had - 21.5 SS Novak Motor w/ Thunder Power 3300 35c packs. w/ the McAllister Firebird body. (some of the tracks use ALL the USVTA rules except motor/battery for outlaw - at CAL they don't push the driver, nor 'realistic' paint schemes (most cars are just painted, and don't even have numbers)

We do have one track (Camarillo/Freedom Park) that actually runs BOTH USVTA and OUTLAW VTA - I love this because I have both -- and I can get a LOT of track time (which my road racing really needs)

We also run a GT Class - but instead of USGT 2/ 21.5, we run GT10 w/ 17.5 -- the faster motors are used in part because the tracks we run can handle the speeds (although my personal BEST always comes from the Slower cars)

At CAL RACEWAY - we are running a GT10 Series - which includes a SPEC Class (last season it was Tekin Gen2 and a Tekin Motor - tuned for equality by the race director and sealed - this season has a NEW sponsor, and allows a NEW Motor ESC combo from G Force that uses a sealed/locked endbell motor, and the Tekins are still allowed but are tuned to the output of the G Force systems.

The GT10 "OPEN" - is any "ROAR LEGAL" 2c and 17.5 Motor in No-Timing "Blinky" mode w/ the spec USGT tires and GT bodies.

(I'd like them to add USGT - as the speeds of our OUTLAW VTA cars is awesome, and the handling w/ the Gravity spec tires is pretty good. But again - the faster motor won out.)

Thanks Is the ESC is still blinky or do you allow boost? BTW my old 21.5 motors of that same era are still pretty good, they just aren't as efficient as the newer motors.

John,

We're still doing "Blinky" no timing mode in the Outlaw VTA class - and it feels plenty fast for me --

I run old HPI Pro2 cars in Vintage -- so I have no issue gearing even the regular 25.5 motor on the bigger tracks -
