Body Specifications:
Any 190mm or 200mm body. Body can be any body that is NOT on the ROAR T2 body list. NO Trucks
Any "SCALE" molded wings can be used. Lexan wings 10mm maximum height / side dam height
Scale type race liveries encouraged

I would tak this as a yes as long as the lexan wing is cut down to 10mm. I'm sure i will be corrected if I have it wrong.

I didn't realize how noisy my TC3 was. You can definitely hear it on the backstretch in the video!

[QUOTE]

can you please clarify this rule?

Tamiya bodies have the raisers that are higher than 10mm, but the wing itself is the same size/dimension as any lexan wing out.

Is it the height of the wing itself, the risers, or combination of all?

The actual "Lexan" part of the wing or wing cord can not be larger then 10mm at its thickest point....you could have 5ft tall risers if you wanted to they are not the issue. Tamiya lexan racing wings cut to just about the standard trim line are right at 10mm.

This rule is in place to stop people from using standard TC or Protorform type wings on their cars. Also some of the HPI bodies do come with lexan wings that are well over the 10mm rule and they need to be cut down to be Fully USGT legal....or just run one of the many hard plastic scale looking wings.

Good idea Kevin. Im blaming you as well cody.

Thats why i let you by both times you got around me, I was distracted by the awful noise your car was making.

You should make it up by throwing a plug in for your painter

Charlie your video is labeled RCGT and not USGT. Are you running 17.5 or 21.5. Cars look smokin.

Patience, Jonesy

All props go to Mike Jones of Rockstar paint for my Red Bull Lexus ISF. I added a few small decals but everything Red Bull is paint. His Vodafone NSX is also great looking! See him about painting.... He can pull off anything!
