Haha my car was running well I just need practice. I had a few laps that I hit my marks and it felt right but I was all over the place. Nevertheless it was a fun first USGT for me.

Looking at the tires from yesterday's race, the fronts appear to have slightly more wear on the inner 70% I may take out some camber.
The rears had rollover wear, so I put a couple washers under the outside camber links. The car really does roll less by raising the rear roll center. It has some inner wear too so I'm not trying to go for more neg camber.
Using my test tires last night, it hooks up better on corner exit. I didn't see any edge wear but I'll keep running them to see.

Default Gearing XRAY T4 2018 for USGT

What is the min/max for the total tooth count (spur + pinion) for 64p gears that would fit well on the XRAY T4 2018 when using the USGT motor? Thank you in advance for your help!

Depending on the track size, you might be in the 3.00 to 4.00 final drive. Pick gears that you need. FYI...a 53t 64p pinion is about the biggest that will easily fit.

I watched a video of the car and it looked very good. The problem is that the U.S. distributor, Bartolo Racing, is no longer the distributor. The shipping from overseas is high. It will be a lot more until there's a new distributor, I f you know of another source for that price please let me know.

I have heard that Felix Law has joined Xpress. I have also heard that he may be the new distributor. That's all I know. Stay tuned for further developments.
