Wow, some people just don’t get it. This is about fun at every level. And guess what, regardless of what class you run, VTA, GT, 17.5, Mod, 1/8 off-road, nitro, or something from Walmart, if you cant run laps from start to finish within a .5 sec deviation lap to lap, NONE OF THAT OTHER CRAP MATTERS. NOTHING will make you faster until you can actually run race without hitting the wall, or at least hitting the wall less than the next fastest driver. So stop focusing so much on equipment and just set-up and drive your car.
