Just finished reading all 634 pages....😳. Lol.
My group is definitely interested in the idea of USGT. There are 10 in the group. We don't compete, we run for fun. No transponders or lap timers. Grass Roots parking lot racing. It's a competition of who can stay out front the longest.
We've been running 13.5 T/C in a large "L" we set up in a parking lot. Since then we've added a stock 4tec class, and they have all decided to go with a scale type car. I suggested USGT as a guideline for it. They are on board with this. So I've come here, read the entire thread, and let them know USGT rules. They love it. Race liveries and all. They've all picked out their bodies and are starting their builds. I've stressed difference in this area.. in our 4tec class, 6 people run the PF 71 Camaro since it's easy to get. Rather not have that happen with our USGT cars.
With that being said, I've begun to piece together my car. I've picked up a Kyosho TF7 super cheap, going with Tekin ESC/Motor. What I'm having trouble with is the gear ratio, I didn't realize these cars use 64p gears. Where do i go with gearing? I've never used 64 pitch gears before.. kind of lost, lol.
The track quite large, it's in a parking garage local to us. I have YouTube videos of some of our runs, can share a link if any are interested.
thanks in advance for any advice.
