I just got some new premounted tires and they have the new 6 spoke rims. I was vocal that these new rims were ugly, but in reality, they aren't that bad. I got them in black and they look fine plus they are 1.4 grams lighter per rim. Good job Paul.

Steering Servo
I know it varies from track to track and chassis to chassis but what would the minimum torque spec you think is reliable for a USGT car. Specifically FWD.(so lighter car)
Anyone think an ~8.5kg/cm(120oz/in) is totally insufficient at a novice/intermediate club level? I mean how much torque did servos have 15 or 20 years ago, I feel like the new defacto 10kg min is overkill for a lot of scenarios.
If this is a reasonable hypothesis, then it frees up about 20g of mass for me to either ditch, or be able to move around the car for tuning with no detriment to total weight.
Thoughts?
