Just got back from a good afternoon of club racing! My total lap count was down a lap or two, but my average lap times has been getting lower, so it maybe the old, two steps back, one step forward...
The VTA car was fun to run, especially when I handed it over to Gary, and Jesse handed his F1 over to Danny. A great bumper to bumper race en shewed, the best entrainment of the day!
Then I cam home just in time. Canada Post is delivering on Sundays, and this arrived sooner than I thought....

A very nice thread of some very pretty cars.
A couple of shots of my two touring cars. One is a 13.5 boosted (the boring touring car) and the other a 13.5 blinky Gt (the bmw).

I love the hpi 68 canaro body! I regret letting mine get all smashed up. Will have to buy another some day. Yours looks great with the bright metallic silver! Really brings out the awesome lines of that body.
Toro speed controllers look fantastic. If only they were roar approved for 17.5 blinky use so that I could use their new 120a unit in my touring car.

Thanks very much Evo 13 but sadly I can't take credit for the paint jobs as I got them done for me... If I do a paint job they are usually a lot simpler

I'm digging the Tx already. I added the drop wheel adapter to see how I may like it. I only wished the transport case was available for it now...

That is too bad they are not approved for Blinky. I never thought of the approvals when I bought it for the WGT car. Hopefully I can just use it like this for the WCICS, should I decide to enter it...?

Nice! Thanks for the info. I was hoping that Skyrc would get one or more of their esc's approved since they had gotten their Ares Pro motors approved. Looks like nice stuff for the price.

After yesterdays round of racing, the LTC-R body is looking rougher than my GX6... It's still good for a few more rounds, but it was a pretty thin body to begin with. I have another clear LTC-R, and it feels just as thin too. They are regular weight. Even the wing feels flimsy...
So I decided to try one of the Sweep ST-6 I have on hand after seeing you, Dennis, run yours. Its a nice, sturdy body with clean mold lines and nice consistent pull of material across the entire form. I'm looking forward to this one!

Where are you guys getting the Sweep bodies?

I bought mine from TQRC. I think Bing got his from Sweep USA?
I've run mine for a few practice days, two or three club events, and the Airdrie WCICS event. Not a single crack yet.
Bing, I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with your sweep body! If you find the stc6 to not be aggressive enough, the sweep stc4 body is much like an ltcr, but with even more steering. It has a huge splitter!

As Dennis said, I got mine right from Sweepracing.com
Dennis, body is amazingly low I normally cut my body posts to fit with no extra material. The Sweep is 2 whole holes lower than the GX6, 1 hole lower than the LTC-R. Looks like I may have longer posts than normal for the short term
Not sure what I'm going to do for paint. I don't want to get too fancy, as it is just a club racing basher I do like how compact it feels and looks!
Even my shortest post will require cutting...

I found it to be low as well. If definitely helps on the track! At our previoys local event on Dec 14th, I ran the stc6 for the first two rounds and experienced no traction rolling, but had a few close calls. I switched to the GX for the 3rd round and traction rolled a few times, and also crashed a couple of times due to the GX turning in so abrubtly. I switched back to the stc6 for round 4 and the traction rolling and crashing went away. Amazing how much of a difference bodies make!
