New to it, coming from offroad here
Might be getting something new?
TT02. What class would that fall under?
Here are the main classes my local carpet onroad track runs
During club racing, they mainly run these classes (based off of todays weekly club race)
180 Raceway Middle River MD
Which class would the TT02 fit under?
Most likely Touring Car? If so, should I race 25.5 or 21.5 class?
I really like the look of VTA, Would I be able to fit a VTA body on the TT02 and run it in the VTA class?
According to ROAR, VTA class has to have a 25.5 motor. All classes are blinky classes so no electronic timing.
What tires are best for these things? Foam? Slick? Any kind of traction compound used? Is it like offroad racing with mini pin type tires?
Since these are pretty high turn motors, should I get a motor like a V10 G4 motor with adjustable timing, or should I get a Justock combo which would be fixed motor timing?
TT02 is shaft driven, most onroad chassis kits that are 4WD/AWD I seen are all belt drive. Would this affect me racing?
Also heard of USGT, anyone know what that class is all about? US meaning United States and GT meaning Gran Touring, does this mean all American touring model bodies?
Track races every Saturday and is only open on Saturdays so looking to go back up and check it out next week. Checked it out like 2 years ago. Video is somewhere roaming around the forum.
Since this is all onroad, and not like offroad like with jumps. I am guessing that consistency and drive like are key.
Other from going to that track and trying racing onroad with a starter kit, I would just be setting up and bashing in the street and parking lots.
