Awesomatix has never claimed to target the beginner or even moderately skilled driver market. This is no doubt a pro level car that is designed for a customer that is willing to deal with esoteric equipment. The difference here is that clearly the car works. It's utterly dominating large races without high dollar drivers.
Not for everyone, but you cannot deny they aren't afraid to innovate. For those that feel the need, or appreciate this level of quality, why not? Good design trickles down to consumer levels, so we all benefit at some point.
My admiration comes from their willingness to think for themselves and completely rethink a solution. I think the car is stunningly beautiful. I certainly wouldn't suggest it shouldn't exist because it isn't designed for mediocrity.

I just have found in the past that if I needed to tinker a lot with a setup on a car race to race to reamin coppetitive, I would dump that car and buy a different one that would only need minor adjustments track to track and suited my driving style better.

[QUOTE=whitrzac;13067531]I thought you said you wouldn't run VTA because of the min weight
If you run a $900 TC in VTA we're going to make you wear a russian hat
Glad I got my LM1 in process, the TC3 can't even compete with a mini lol Maybe a AE 6.2 or X-Ray needs to find its way to my bench
Also how long before i can post with a URL so i don't have to delete them out of the quotes?

Tim might have to bring his TC3 to show you how it's done

Having seen the car in action and in the pits the awesomatix is actually pretty user friendly especially in the spring and damper area. Not only that I have seen at least one build mistake that would make other cars do donuts and the awesome-o motored on. Based on results I'd say the setup window is pretty wide.

I would be up for that, I do need to do a ton of redialing on the car, which isn't mine its my dads, but no biggie. The steering balance isn't where it needs to be off and on power, I need to put to much wheel in it to turn and lose my rolling speed. Drag brake actually helped it turn in a lot which probably means I need to get the nose to dive harder on normal deacceleration into a corner. Castor probably needs to be adjusted too. It just needs a lot of work to get it to drive like I want it
I am actually hoping the 25.5 will have a bit more punch which will let me do some different things setup wise.
Actually now that I think about it stiffening the back up would help both in and out of the corner, would get both more steering into and out of the corner. Right now don't get a good weight transfer into the corner and get too much under acceleration out of the corner.
