I'm not sure if you guys race VTA or not but how can I go faster? I know driving is a big part and practice is well worth it. My car handels well - seems to keep the line I want and doesn't push or slide. I'm tied to the 27T and 4 cell 4600 mAh batteries (when I the batts), and have to run specific tires and offsets. My final drive ratio is with in the VTA recomended ratios - 5.81.

Are those guys in the A Main faster by the 2 sec just because they are running brushless? I thought the VTA motor / battery combinations are ment to be equal and competitive.

Don't get me wrong, I know I have to put my time in for the B Main before I can get to the A but I was told my lines are pretty good and my lap times are all within 0.6 sec of each other in the race. I just can't get what the gap is due to.

Thanks for the comments.
