Of course the 1/8 on-road racing car is the pinnacle of GP on-road performance and driving through corners at that speed is really exciting. Even though the thrill of driving touring cars is great, each machine needs experience and time to setup for optimal performance. Of course the GT3 needs to be setup as well, but its not too severe and with a general understanding of conditions such as winter or summer, loose dirt or high grip etc., it will handle really well.

I felt the evolutionary leap of the GT3 through its high rear grip

Mr. Michigami dove the GT3 at the 42nd Kyosho Grand Prix in 2017, and also drove the INFERNO GT2 at the 41st event a year earlier. What is Mr. Michigami’s evaluation of the full model change in the GT3? This is an interesting question for those considering buying a GT3 or upgrading from the GT2.

The most significant difference is the increased rear stability of the GT3. While I can sense some understeer in the front, this was also noticeable in the GT2. However with the GT2, it would transition quickly from understeer to oversteer causing the rear to step-out. This does not happen at all with the GT3, so when setting up you can focus on how much you want the front to turn. Also there is plenty of suspension stroke that increases surface tracing and control over gaps. This makes racing the GT3 against other cars the most fun I’ve had with R/C racing.
