Default onroad hpi or team associated?

Hi, I am thinkning about purchasing a new hpi sprint rtr or a team associated tc4 rtr onroad car. Does anyone think one is better than the other, maybe someone owns both and they have a preference? Can you put the 200mm bodies on either of these cars? Any feedback would be appreciated, Thanks

I would choose the AE car over the HPI car you suggested.

But if you said choose between a Hara Pro 4 and a FT TC4 I'd choose the Hara.

Also I think the TC4 can only take a 190mm body, just go on www.towerhobbies.com and read their specs.

The TC4 is a great car. Mine is very reliable and I haven't had any problems with it.

As long as your car is set up correctly running decent tires, and your a decent driver, a TC4 could easily win club and entry level racing.

I have3 enjoyed many many many miles of fun and happiness with my HPI sprint. Out of my fleet of 10+ it has yet to brake for two years. Flys with a burshless.

all a matter of preference. I have the TC4 and love it, I also have 190 & a 200 body for, the 200 just sticks out a little, but it will handle it no problem. The AE people, like AE, etc. etc., the three brands mentioned are well made, good running cars. My TC4 flies with brushless as well ... love it!
