In your respective areas of racing toy cars, you may have 99% of your participants running modern luxury sedans that are less than 3 years old. Weight is truly very hard to shoe horn in those chassis', I know, I to have built a few of them as well.

Not every place running a (US)VTA class has that. The percentage of TA05, TC3's, TC4's, JRX and the like, go up in certain areas of the country versus others. On a semi normal club day here, we have 50% of the field running 6+ year old cars while the other half is less than 2 years old.

Example, we have T2R's, T3R's, TC3,TC4,TC5, Older Kyosho, XXX-S', JRX, T2 007's/8's on a regular basis.
