I could not disagree more.
In racing there are some truths. Many will take a long time or may never fully appreciate them but they always apply.
There is always a better power plant.
given 20 of any motor and there is a better one. Same with battery. Those who want to find it eventually will. Racers are racer you can expect they will look for that edge.
Always a better mouse trap.
Yes even a older chassis can compete. Yes even late last year we saw tc4's at the top of the food chain.Reality is the newer chassis are built with a much better understanding of the tires/carpet/traction and have better ability to perform.
Driver ability.
Never ever forget there is always a better driver then you out there. Maybe today is your day, You can do no wrong. All the crashes miss you, your perfect in the apex, the car is quick. You win but like in all racing tommorow that may not be the case.
A driver performing well in good equipment generally excels. That's just a truth in racing. We try to minimize the variables but the realities are still there.

I am just expressing reality.
You will never get a class that does not do that.
Yes you swapped motor weight speedo rules, and it swapped the results around some and currently seems very very equal.
But it will level out and become the same. It is not a reason to do anything at all.
Nothing is better or worse then anything else.
There just is no real equal in racing.. Even full spec will have some advantage someone will find it will just take time.

I am looking to try VTA. I am looking for MMR spec motor, esc and an old used body. Let me know if you have any of these affordable pieces laying around that you want to part with.

Tires & Wheels
Question about wheel track...
For those that run a 190mm chassis and 200mm body, how do you space out the wheel/tire combo? Do you run the 6mm offset wheels on all fours and put the 26mm tires on the fronts (would that even work)? Or do you just leave everything tucked in, inside the body?
The USVTA rules seem pretty particular about only running 26mm tires up front and 31mm tires in the rear.

The wheel and tire package are spec'd. 26 front 31 rear. So if your body is big it's just tucked under. But most of the listed vta bodies fit fairly nice.
Ps. Pm'd you about a motor and esc if you're still looking

Final drive numbers
Hi everyone. I'm working on a VTA to run at MMR and was wondering what final drive numbers are common for the track with the 1s 17.5. Thanks.
