USGT
Just as a curious outsider... I know they already had some VTA rules, but did not call them USVTA, did they now really create a rule set under the USGT name or did they just create another GT rule set of their own? If they didn't use the US prefix, I wouldn't blame ROAR for any confusion, but if they did use the US prefix, it would be a pretty dumb move on their part...

The tire rules don't match and they say the bodies need to be on the approved ROAR list, but there are no USGT bodies on the roar list.
They also added GT12 and made a mess of that too.
Oh they called it USGT.

So Xpress came out with these not too long ago. https://www.bigsquidrc.com/xpress-us...car-wheel-set/
They claim they're USGT legal. Any confirmation?

Yeah, same mistake as ROAR did, calling it USGT instead of just GT. Calling them GT-spec would have been fine. However, complaining about an RC news site that very prominently says "For bashers, by bashers!", not being perfectly accurate about racing and its classes, even when the manufacturers themselves are not, might be a little misplaced.

I’ve been having trouble sorting out my car on higher grip tracks. We run gravity belted usgt tires. Once the tires wear a little bit and grip comes up my car traction rolls without much effort. The car visibly looks tippy around sweepers and high speed corners, everyone else looks pretty planted.
I generally run 2.6/2.7 springs, 2 camber rear, 1.5-2 front, 1 tow front. P1-Z body X-ray t4 2021 aluminum chassis.
What tips do you guys have to sort out traction roll issues when the car just feels way too tippy? I’m a bit newer so I still haven’t really figured this out and it can be frustrating not being able to drive my car without worry of it just rolling.

At least in other touring classes, the more or less default go-to front spring on the T4 used to be the 2.5-2.8 progressive spring... also what anti-roll bars are you using? Downstop/droop can make drastic changes as well, have you tried playing with that yet? (And as a last resort there's always gluing the side walls of the fron tires)

where are your roll centers at? pill positions for lower arm, and shims on the upper camber link ( inner and outter ) stock should be 2mm/2mm upper front shims, and rear should be 4mm outside and 1-1,5 mm inside. but that also depends on where your pills are setup. i can link you toa pretty solid usgt setup for the T4 if u would like.
