I run a TT02-S in USGT that I paid $90 for and slapped on extra TRF dampers I had from my 419x. I'm right there with the guys running X-Rays and usually finish in top 3.

Default Chassis for USGT

I'm Using a T3 12 for USGT on pavement. I think that it may be getting a little too old to Race .
( I Definitely think its too old for Black carpet Now)

What is the oldest Chassis you would try to Race Pavement and Carpet with?

For pavement I wouldn't hesitate to run a T3 '12. Mine had an Exotek conversion on it and I loved it. I felt more confident with it than my T4 '13. It always seemed like I could get more steering out of the T3. It wasn't too bad on the new black carpet, either, but I only ran it a handful of times indoor. At the time it was in VTA trim, then later in 25.5 TC trim.

If you feel like you're not competitive with it anymore then, yeah, maybe it's time to upgrade. I was still having fun with mine, but in the end it comes down to personal preference. Or rather a decision you'll have to make on your own.

Thanks . Outdoors I like my T3 12 . My T3 11 is on Rails outside for VTA.
I might be upgrading for carpet this year though. (either that or buy an F1)

That Exotek is really pretty! But I'm concerned that it's a bit too much like the McAllister Corvette DP, and therefore faces an uphill battle for approval.

So ultra lightweight(0.5mm) bodies are USGT legal?

It is obvious that the body is inspired by a true production car though. A Pagani Zonda. It would fall under the same lines as the PFM-10. Everyone knows that it was inspired by a Mclaren 12c.

Rob King saw the prototype run a couple months ago at Tamiya USA. He had no problem with the body as it is based off a Pagani Huayra. I've helped Mike with testing and the body is awesome! Great balance, initial turn in and rear stability. I normally run a Mazda Furai body and the P-Zero is 2 tenths faster per lap

As far as the weight is concerned it is a sturdy substantial body. The design will hold up well to a lot of abuse. Front splitter is well designed for impact resistance.

So I haven't been on here much but I was curious about the ring of death on these tires. What is the main cause? To much camber? Not enough camber? Heat?
