The other class is VTA

Interesting. I did not know this was an option anymore.

Even more interesting since I'm the ROAR Electric On Road Chairman...

17.5 w/ Boost and stuff seems an odd choice.


I thought BOOST/TURBO was all but eliminated at the big races with the exception being MOD. Couldn't they do 17.5 and 13.5 as separate TC classes.

I still vote for USGT :P

THREAD JACK!

I'm just ready for some Asphault ass kicking!


Now hopefully all the tires for the AA series, Strictly, The Track all coincide. I'm still confused on whether or not I need to glue up Xpatterns for GT or I can use Solaris premounts at all the above tracks

Will it be Pre Mounts ( solaris) or x pattern like tires for USGT for the Series?

Asphalt was SO much fun last summer. I am thinking of picking up a 3Racing FGX so I can race another class this year. Otherwise its just RCGT for me.

Cool! More F1s.

Hmmm but isn't the FGX beyond the 190mm width max or is it the. IRS vs direct drive debate? Hmmmmm.

Fuggit just roll it!

Since it does not matter for the ROAR nats, I vote for the Solaris for USGT, same tire as last year.

I agree!!!
FGX is 190mm and seems very competitive in Cali. Also Tamiya's monopoly on the Mini / F1 / FWD classes kinda sucks because innovation should be encouraged. Just becuase one company has been doing the same thing for years, shouldnt mean you have to regulate classes to just their chassis. They moved on in Asia, I think the states should to. Serpent, Top, X-evo, 3racing, All have chassis to compete with tamiya, and people are afraid its going to be an advantage. cmon...

My vote would be for open chassis in ALL classes. IMO.

To an extent I agree with you, but I do not run the series. The only issue would be that 190mm+ cars would have an advantage in handling from what I have read and a few people confirmed this.

In the end, whatever...the more the merrier. Anyone ridiculously fast I will put in the boards!


I was reading the old series thread and there was some early chat about a website.

Did a website ever get created? What's the URL?
