I don’t remember these divots being that pronounced in any previous sets I have purchased. The set I returned to the hobby shop were much deeper than this set. Thoughts?
The set I showed you last week were 2.0s. So this has been going on a while.

Then this is the wrong thread. This here is the foam tire thread. Note the missing "RT" for Rubber Tire in the thread title.

This is funny. Everytime I get on their thread I get the riot act. They come on the foam thread and complain about their rubber tires. Simple solution go to FOAM tires- problem solved!

What is the current best GT12 asphalt/tarmac body? Lots of downforce and steering I would imagine to be the ideal parameters. If not please educate me, I am a former racer returning after years wondering lost in the woods of other pursuits.
