What your tracks decide to run locally is up to them. USGT used to be open motor, but I feel its far more competitive and better paced running with the spec motors. They run cool, last a long time, and have excellent parity from old to new. Locally we run USGT and VTA with the spec Gravity fixed timing motors.
Here at Houston RC we run USGT using the FT JustStock 21.5 and it's super close racing and very competitive. As a general understanding, have filtered the body list and excluded those that are extreme / non recognisable as a real car on first look.. eg. the Bwoah is not allowed.
