RE: durable 1/10 touring car?
You're also asking these Q's at another forum, yes? After seeing what you're asking about, and what they're to be used for, the TT01's would most probably be the better choice. It's true that parts will be available for Tamiya than 3Racing, and considering where you're located, you shouldn't actually have problems obtaining either, but Tamiya just makes sense when factored into rental stock.As an aside, the question about M05's came up, and if you are seriously interested in renting those, as well (what a GREAT idea!), Staying exclusively with Tamiya makes the most sense. I certainly hope you mull over getting M05's too! They are fun little machines (I have a few, myself!) when outfitted with Tamiya's stock-spec ESC/motor combo, and could very well be your best-renting class!
