Just curious.

Good luck claiming IP on the term abbreviation of RC. It's like trying to trade mark someone surname. It can not be litigated against. Trust me from personal experience, I was sent a cease and desist letter by a guy with the same name as mine. My layer just laughed.😉

My guess is that more people complained about those bodies in GT than there were that wanted it....and that's likely why it was removed from the list.....just my opinion.

ha ha...the Rteck looks good on the track, and the Venom adds to the class...I personally rather see a mix of bodies than just 1 body used.... this past Sunday, we had the Ford GT, Chevy Z28, the R-tek, the Pzero, Vette C7, and the Zr1... it looked good

I tried both of them. the R Tek has more steeringcompare the P Zero , but The P-Zero is much smoother to drive...tested on black carpet..
I think the T-Tek will be perfect for asphalt.....
the frontend of the Venom look very close to R-Tek
