Two completely different cars. We are talking about buggy based GT cars, not 1/8 on-road 4wd. The GT cars have 2 gear diffs and shaft drive not belts, spools and one-ways. Google Xray RX8,

Yes sir,I realize this.but all i'm saying is this was supposed to be a lower budget class for the guy's not wanting to spend megga $'s to be competitive in on road racing.I guess,I just don't understand the concept,not trying to start a war.just saying..

Yeah thats my friend Kitchen who has the Losi. It's scary fast.
Yesterday we had a big trophy race at Blue Diamond and if he didn't have traffic problems and a flame out he would of won. I took first in the A but he had the faster car. We had two full heats of racing, it was a blast!!
So many sponsors stepped up to make this a great event. Ipanema, Sweep, Max Velociti, Skyrocket, Kosmic, Trinity, Hobby Hut to name a few!
Blue Diamond definitely has GT action! So if your in the area, Come Get Some!!!!!

Spec racing should be limited to car, parts and spending limit definitely.
Open class, well thats a whole other ball game!!

Thanks for giving credit where it's due, I could'nt remember his name. I bet the Losi is at least a pound lighter than the other cars out there and I know the drivetrain has very low rotating mass.

Are ya listening Losi?

I agree! I think a good starting on rules are;
No chassis mods[Whatsoever] CF etc...
Limit amounts of ports used[maybe a specific motor for the class]
These are big cost factors in IMHO...Just my .02..

Im not sure if the guy talkin about just putting a xray chassis into this gt class is tryin to start sh*t or if he's serious but how many options does this class have? Im new to this type of racing but isn't their the ofna and the kyosho chassis/cars and that's it? I didn't realize their was other options....plus I guess it depends on motor choice on what rules you are running, over here at leisure hrs in illinois we use the midwest rules which states motors can not cost more than 200 bucks but any pipe is legal,,,,now im repeating what I was told im brand new to class so pls forgive me if im wrong on subject

I like the idea of buggy type rules myself (dimension limits, tire/wheel size, body shape/type and thats about it. Driver skill and traction limitations take care of the rest. The fastest will always be the fastest, etc.

Double post.

I think most tracks are running similar rules, or some variation until ROAR makes a final decision on rules for tracks who want to sanction their races with ROAR.

Not only is the car lighter but the suspension as so many options to choose from. Just an over all great car. Not that I dislike the GT/DM-1 they are great too, but when you drop in a car like the Losi into the mix it's over.

Congratulation to 1st place winner Bill, 2nd place winner Chad, and 3rd place winner David at the 34th annual Texas Biggie. Sweeps Racing Tires TQ'ed and swept podium once again. What a great event it was. I would like to thank Bob and Bill for hosting the event and Jeff for directing the race. I would love to go back for next year. What a great bunch of GT drivers, overall atmosphere was very positive. Lets do our best to grow this wonderful class even bigger

We are running the Sweep 50 EXP slicks but they look like the have one heat of racing on them. They even still show signs of the center mold line around the center of the tire. We have been very happy with the traction and wear life.
