Here are some stickers I made for a VTA racer. He would like to advertise that his car is 100% USVTA rules compliant. Let me know if you are interested in showing your support for the USVTA rules and I can make some decals for you as well...and your track! I can make them in various colors as well. PM me for details.

Go VTA, it is the most popular class at our track.

What are the physical demensions of the stickers? Also, could you do them in a "single line" for use as fender stickers?

These were designed specifically for him and are sized 1"x2.25". The larger ones would be for a pit box or radio box...just for the fun of it.

I can make them all in a line. I see you PM'd me, lets talk there about specifics as to not muck up this thread.

To answer his question though, yes I can resize and redesign them to your custom requests. It would be fun though for everyone to be under one banner much like we all fly under one set of rules...hopefully!

I ran the BMI conv on my TC3, and it was good...but my TC3 tub was better imo..I sold the BMI TC3

oh yeah its right there with "Hello Kitty" driver figures at the Scale Nats...or Hanna Montanna....sad but funny...
