My local track just built a dirt oval, and I'm interested in it. I want to race my FTGT there. I haven't been able to check out the new addition yet, so I can't tell you how it's built, but if anyone has a good setup that I could start on, and then tune to my liking, I'd really appreciate it.

I also run a Gt on a oval track,some quick tips to start with are..
1)run 10-15 degree caster blocks to help your front tires run flat in the turns.
2)if its a smooth track put some shock spacers in your shocks to limit the travel,your not running off road so you dont need all the travel.
3)move the batteries from the back to the left front to help even out the weight transfer and to not make you so tail happy.
4)run about 3-4 degrees of camber on the right side,and on the left side run about negative 2 degrees on the left side,once again to help make your tires run flat in the turns. hope this is a start, chris
