Not trying to scare anyone but when you have ten cars that weight 1550g and one shows up at 1385g you will see a difference and the 1385g car will dance around your 1550g car. Im just trying to keep the class fair and when big dogs like darkside come over from nashville or the chattanooga boys they will know they are on a level playing field

One of the coolest things about the VTA is the fact that they have the rules so plainly laid out. There are not many forms of racing where you can find a level playing field as VTA. With that level playing field in place now it's about the driving skill and vehicle durability. FUN!

Ill trade batteries with him for the race(s). These are quite manageable. Ill let him destroy the mini revo with the 11.1s thats scary. In fact im rebuilding it again.

FYI...TC3's need little additional weight added to them like the carbon fiber cars do. Really makes the TC3 and 4s great VTA cars because the weight is evenly distributed and you don't have to worry about negatively impacting the CG.

Guys looking to jump in- this is a key thing to consider when choosing your ride.

The nice thing about the tc6 is the weight set bolts right to the car and is completely adjustable. No more sticky weights for me

Thursday night race / practice? Weather looks like it will be good then, but not early Saturday. Nice thing about the Sir Goonies concrete track is it dries pretty darn quick compared to a dirt track

searched through about 40 or so pages, but couldnt find my answer... Anyone have pictures of the track layouts? What track conditions are offered?

Its good to see there is a track within 15 minutes of my house. Keep up the good work
