Love the idea of trying out different treaded tires as USGT would allow but do not want to go out & purchase a 21.5 motor for it. If non boosted 17.5 is to fast for a beginer then what were people starting out with in the 27 turn brushed motor as stock days?? Since the non boosted 17.5's are supposed to be the equivalent of 27 turns how is that all of a sudden to fast for people?
I would like to run 17.5 stock as well...in RCGT form...which is what I already do against the TC class...but like any class, we have rules...and they are 21.5 motors with ROAR or USVTA esc....so I put my 21.5 stator back in my car and Im getting ready for the Nats...that simple...
the rules are what they are...and upward knows I dont always agree with Rob...but its the National rules , and I travel...so its better for everyone in the long run...
and as far as fast?....it depends..some ppl running 17.5 TC with non boosted need to be in VTA...and barely USGT...just a fact
also its NOT RCGT...its USGT....
