Thanks crispy for posting the photos from Indy. The paint jobs are very cool...a few battle scars, but they look great. Glad they are performing well for everyone too.

The other cool part is that we do not sponsor racers, so there is no "team racer" stuff or fake hype going on there. The racers just like the bodies. We really appreciate all the support.

Thanks
Gary McAllister

[QUOTE=Josh-n-ya;13930519]Whats the trick in getting spec tires to grip. Ive been having issues when I finally get rear grip I loose front and vise versa? On asphalt?[/QUOTE)
I hold a towel against a spinning tire until it smokes then soak with Paragon. Let cool and repete two more times. Wash with Simple Green & let dry over night. The tires should have more than enough grip for asphalt. If you still have problems, it's more likely a setup issue; not the tires. Run a few laps; then check the tire temps.

Slightly higher roll center, .5 to 1mm toe out in the front. You can also reduce a little rear toe if you're running 3mm, try 2.0-2.5. In asphalt I on a yokomo BD7 I went with stiffer springs with less damping.

Less dampering with what thicker shock oil?
What about droop? More or less?

I'm usually 350-388cst, ride height 5.6-5.8, 3-3.5 ohr

After reading more than half the thread I have decided to try this out. I'll be the only one in my tiny track to have one but its just for fun and I might make the trek north to actually race. I really like the scale part and think gt cars are the coolest cars on the track. Has any one tried the Vaterra Skyline gt3 car? looks pretty sweet and i know they are pretty durable bodies as a couple guys use their bodies for drifting at my track.

Ill try that. With the stiffer springs are you laying them down? Adding shims to the inner link on bulkhead lowers or raises roll center? I get those confused sometimes.

Hey, I ran my McAllister Daytona Corvette for almost a year Crispy. It's a great body. It was the one Rob gave his OK to for USGT. You guys are finally catching on to how cool McAllister stuff is.

I've got another Daytona Corvette in the workshop, but is like to try the Wildcat from McAllister too. I like the way it looks.

standing shocks up will produce more lateral grip on that end.

Higher roll center - add shims upper outer or reducing upper inner. Also adding shims at lower inner

Lower roll center - opposite

If your car is lacking on power steering stiffer diff oil is required, this alone may cure your issue if you're pushing on throttle.

Clean with buggy grip

Sauce with white paragon (FXII), use warmers I like 35* C. I have tried other more oily stuff like sxt 2.0 or tire tweak, but they don't work like FXII.

The tires work better with a couple runs on them. Take the seam off too, it's pretty big

I've used paragon on asphalt and sxt3.0 on carpet due to rules. If it came down to it, paragon all the way. They seem to soften the tires.

You should send that to the teams running prototype Vettes in the TUDOR series this year to give them some inspiration. The GT LM Corvettes look nice, but the prototypes all look terrible.

Thanks Mr. Ape! Here's the rear view. Interesting double rear spoiler. McAllister made a cool body with this one.

Indeed the did, they were true to real thing. Once I wreck a few of the bodies I've got stock piled I'm planning on giving the Riley P and the Cougar a go.
