Not enough time to test, but got close enough in setup to do good in the amateur class. My stock car kept rolling over, I'm gonna have to tear the car apart when I have time to look what was causing it.
TCXX is still competitive! =0

Last year I ran out of the box kit with 2.25 option chassis, Yokomo springs, and changed shock/ diff fluid. The car was in the ballpark for carpet racing. I think XX car stock , was meant for asphalt racing. But the car has many option parts for carpet.
Time to rebuild the car again for asphalt season

I coat the entire sidewall from wheel to mid radius, then while slowly rotating the tire I smooth it with plastic. Let it dry and it'll be shiny, but not stiff.
It's best to use glue that is medium setting
