You will always be safe with either 17.5 TC or USGT.

Had a great time yesterday. For us the day was pretty long as we didnt get back to Indy till 10:30 our time but I understand the first race of the season. Big Thanks goes out to all the Leisure Hours crew that put this show on for us and I wanted to Thank all the racers that came out and raced. Not sure I can make it back next week so soon but I will try. Got to go to work, darn it 4:30 came early this morning.

Great. GT car's making a showing !! (I went on Saturday to shake down the car a little)

I will be there this coming Sunday to do the same with my Nitro GT.

If we're not careful, we may get enough to have a heat/ race!? .... lol

Either way. I'll be there. I need all the practice I can get

Regards

Here is a link to a great car and enough spares to keep you going for a long time. http://www.rctech.net/forum/r-c-item...ons-parts.html

I know its not $200 but still a good deal. I may know a guy that has a little experience with that model.

Looks like a good deal for when I get my feet wet and want to get serious. Need to keep the money down, not working and going back to school... just something to try and see how I like it...

P.S. Anybody try that BSR BT4 from HobbyKing for under $100??? Been reading some decent reviews...

In that price range, you should try the "For Sale" thread, on RCTech. I picked up a used Xray T4 2013 for $175.

I may have missed the post but then again I only went back a few pages. Anyway, what were the rules for the pan car class? I saw some with foam and some with rubber. Just wondering.
