Driving Snoop's VTA was fun today but damn those things are slow! I think that is the only reason I didn't hit more than I did.

I also hope that Snoopy was able to beat my time I set.

You mean I'm working feverishly to build a SLOW car?

I'm pretty sure his times are safe...for now. You did quite well for a noob. It is a little different isn't it? The hardest part is clearing the triple.

All slow cars handle good. But I am not up on the body specs for VTA. Try toycardriver, 34randy, monkey, or darkside

Monkey told me the 70 Camaro didnt handle worth a flip...He's pointing me toward the 68' Camaro or 66' Mustang

I love the way my 70 Boss 302 body handles on my car, we ran it on Monkeys immediately after running his 70 Camaro and they were opposite ends of the spectrum. Camaro pushed like a dozer and the Mustang freed it up a lot. What chassis do you have?

I got one TC5 roller for $100. It needed a couple small things but still didn't have too much in it plus it already had VTA tires and wheels on it. Just buy whatever body you want and we'll set your car up to work with it.

I would hope so! I have not turned any lap on an on-road car in a race like that since I ran 12th scale back at Tommy's on the Smurf Turf. It has been at least 3-4 years. It has been even longer since I ran laps with touring car of any kind.

I guess it is true what they say that is you can hang onto a 2wd buggy then you can drive just about anything. I was shocked at how tight my lines were considering how long it had been.

I enjoyed meeting everyone today. It's nice to see everyone laugh, have fun and look at RC in a such relaxed way.

Thanks for having us Kart drivers out guys! Had a great time and don't loose the fun atmosphere as well, DEAL? Who knows, We may think about a Team Edge RC Kart national in 2012 at Battlefield RC? Who knows now that we've seen parking and ran the track.

They are slow relative to other onroad classes, but I think mine in particular is off pace.
