Counting down to the Snowbirds and my first time racing World GT-R.
My car is packed and ready to go, after a brief shakedown run in the UK. Lots of interest in the GT-R class from UK racers, and those that saw the car at the recent National (and pictures shown at the Reedy Race) were impressed.
Let's race!

Does anyone know of a body that looks decent with these rubber tires you all use on 235mm car? I tried the tires on a Protoform P905B and it looks pretty bad.

What ESC settings, generally speaking are working for you?
I'm running a Hobbyking Trackstar Gen II and have Punch @ 30 for stage 1 and 2, Drag brake @ 35 and starting brake strength equal to drag brake. If I hit the brakes the car slows nice, but doesn't lock up. They tend to fade as the car gets slower, but then again I tend to over brake (just learning how to do this properly after 30 years in the hobby).

Yes we are shimming it that far. You cannot feel it at all. Our new rubber car that is coming takes care of that problem. But if you were on the driver stand and I put down a car with the motor shimmed and a car without the motor shimmed up, you could not tell me which one was which at this speed.

new rubber car.... hmmm. perhaps after their success in the GT-R class at the Birds (first and second I believe) there may be an announcement.....
I bought premounts while I was down spectating at the birds and will have my car ready to roll next week. I'm very optimistic about this class!
