I am really interested to see what the 2020 car will have since the 2019 car is so good already.
For the average club racer running the nats we were able to make the USGT main with two different versions of the car. One with an aluminum chassis and one with the stock chassis. I ran the +1 front shock tower as is did feel smoother for me when run back to back. Biggest thing we all did was double up on the shims under the pivot blocks. Instead of 1.0 I ran 2.0 under everything. We all had the standard arms and shafts and the mod guys had the new longer arms and shafts. Car felt really good in the heat.
