Yessir. At this point, I have more time on it then if I tried to swap to a spare TC chassis, so it's what I am running. 13.569 was my fastest lap with it last weekend which is slower then VTA by a decent margin. 12.9 was the fastest USGT lap of the 3 of us there running them on Sat, but I had consistency somewhat on my side. Battery placement will be critical and as traction changes we'll see. By comparison, my fast lap with my 17.5 TC was 11.950 and I find the USGT to usually be about a second a lap slower, so its still off pace even for me. Only got 7 packs on the TC, and 4 on the GT for the day. The downside of a super light and very temperamental battery in the GT hehe. I would like to mess with gearing more also. Currently around a 3.5 FDR, and I honestly liked the feel better around a 3.3, but the old layout wasn't as friendly to that low of an FDR.

Looking forward to running with you as always Will! Fast is relative, but I am there to have fun! Plus I know Dirla just loves making fun of the poor Scirocco and who am I to deprive him of that joy...
