Let's try to keep the class realistic and paint up some bodies with real sponsor livery!

Hats off to MrLesac for a great looking GT body.
I thought this was "encouraged", which leaves it open to each persons likes. Where I race pretty much all the usgt cars are a single color, i'd much rather see tc inspired paint than 8 white caddy's in the a main.

Most are going for lightweight single color bodies. Mandate tamiya bodies only. Problem solved. Best body sets.

Eric, would this body work on a standard chassis?

Sounds plausible, I always had a knack for finding the worst places to stuff a corner! #stillasblind

Im not saying that it should be single colour. My personal colour scheme is light blue and white or red and white.

Look at the 1:1 GT cars colour schemes and livery

I agree there, Tamiya still has the best body sets.

The bodies I run usually turn into a conversation piece, since I always run the bodies of cars that I like and they definitely stand out, especially in a field of Cadillac ATS lol.

Default Tire glue

Are you allowed to glue side walls on the usgt tires for traction rolling?

Excellent
I agree, that is why I went the route I did.

Win or lose, it looks like a real race car.

My apologies to whom ever this car / body belongs to, I'm not singling anyone out, just using this as an example..

When RCGT started out, this paint scheme would have disqualified the owner from competing.

Thankfully, I can still race at my club as all my bodies look similar to this. Otherwise I'd be selling my radio if comes down to spec'ing schemes. I get bodies have aero differences,but Are we afraid that colors are too fast and cheating? I think we need more racers not less. And telling kids they have to paint their car like a racer that existed decades before they born is arcane.
Same with the driver figure in USVTA. I race at 5 clubs. No one runs it. I skipped traveling to Ohio as I didn't have one or a body that was in "Race livery"
