Worked on this recently.

How is everyone complaining about having to add wieght. I'm at 1414 with no mods and just an alluminum chassis in a t4 with a 7600 pack if I put a lipo factory battery in I have to add 14 grams of lead on the battery side

Your Xray is a fatty

I don't mind the 1380 weight at all. I have to add 20-25 grams to meet weight with a normal 270-280 gram pack and meet the 1380 with no brass with my bigger 6000-7000mah packs

I don't mind it cause it helps keep the car down in the sweeper.

Yeah, but if you raise the weight, then all the guys who bought $900 Awesomatix and $700 X-Ray cars (totally not the spirit of the class) will bitch. What's the point of a super light chassis if they have to add so much weight? They can't run 17.5 lap times. More weight might discourage the 17.5 guys from running the lower class and whoop on everyone...... who would want THAT to happen?

Battery pack are you using that are 270 grams? Any puffing issues?

Wouldn't bother me at all I'm 1414 with a 7600 pack and I'm light on the electronics side would like to add weight to even it out but the car feels good right now

GT class wasn't meant for them in the first place.. No gain, no loss

Should have stayed at 1450g in my opinion. Made the class different from TC at 1380 it's 21.5 TC with different tires..........

I agree, but I support the USVTA, and we all should as well...which brings me to this... What are you doing in Sept?

Well I'm trying to get work to schedule a trip to Smyrna that week, so I can finish the week off racing USVTA and USGT against Myron... Well be in the same building anyway I won't be in the same main as him......

Our club has stayed with the 1450g weight, and I believe it's worked out great for us.
I was able to take 2nd at our outdoor season opener this weekend with a TC4. Definitely wouldn't have been able to had the weight been dropped to 1380. As it is, I'm in a sea of Awesomatix's and X-Rays....

Ours is also 1450, for we race VTA cars with 21.5s with the USGT cars. at 1450 with 21.5s either type of car could win. The VTA tires seem to like the heavier car I'm told.

What is the spirit of the class then, the Awesomatix car is not 900 the Xray is not 700 and even if they where that doesn't necessarily give the person that bought it an unfair edge still gotta drive right? Spirit of the class is run the tires, body, and weight for the class and keep it populated.
