The rules were written this way seven years ago because that's how we wanted them to be. Pretty nice to run your own program and decide what's allowed, and what's not allowed, isn't it. 
Just wondering, why were rules written to open the tires in USGT?
"Tire & Wheel Specifications: Any sedan style treaded tire. (NOSLICKS)" - Per Facebook.
The USGT Gravity R/C premounted tire has been wildly adopted for this class. I can't believe there are participants that do not have these tires.

Dobbs, ur a good sport and a good man
A) Sweeney can you verify that you went faster with the slipomatic? excuse me, ball diff?
B) Just curious, because it wouldn't change anything anyway since the differential is a tuning option, different tracks, different diff needs diff diff for diff track haha
C) I can't make a lot of weekends, but won't try to make the others, I don't have the time for setup b, I run off road, race full size cars, if ur gonna ban this and that which is allowed everywhere else, then it's a goofy one off event, I hope you guys have fun, but Jesse can't bring the fenix and I love to run with Jesse, I'm just telling you, honestly, why I live 45 min away and will just keep my f1 on the shelf for the summer instead, if you really think you can't win without a gear diff and a protoform body, together that's $130, or about the cost of gas for people to come who live maybe an hour away for the season $20-25 in gas times six weeks, I mean, it's completely useless data to run the class even more restricted than it is
D) I'm not trying to complain so that anything is better for me, I don't care, I'll drive to Chicago, love Chicago, I genuinely care about R/C as a sport and think you can't argue cost reduction and then purposefully open up the tire rule, then complain that people only come once, that doesn't mean those people are not real racers, it means they don't want to come back, and right now R/C doesn't need that anywhere, we need the opposite of that, that's the only reason I'm putting in the effort of this post currently, just run the same rules everyone else runs, that's why they are there

Yes I did. And that was with a practice motor and batteries. I would have been 1 lap faster then I ran at the Scale Nationals, except for an error on my part. My race motor and packs will be locked and loaded.
A few racers from WCRC are probably not going to come either. It’s a shame.

Next time you see me, come over to my pit and lets talk gear diff settings, I might be useful for once
