He is speaking of 20% nitro in the fuel. You can buy fuel in several different percentages of nitro. 20% seems to be the most popular. As far as the TC3 goes, I have a Yokomo GT4 Pro that is awesome, but is tough to find parts for at hobby shops. So, I just bought a TC3 from a forum member because almost every hobby shop in my area has parts for them. That is a big thing when buying any r/c car. For instance today, I was running my GT4 and it spit a dogbone, which I never found. So, I had to order a set. No big deal, but I just cant go to a local shop and pick one up. I dont have the TC3 yet, but cant wait to play with it when I do.

Status: offline 		No reason why you shouldn't get it, it's a great car! I used to race an RS4 2 and spent loads on it to get it competitive but then bought the ntc3 and it's competitive straight out the box, if you are a learner though you should probably invest in the rpm front bumper as the standard one is a bit brittle. Only one annoying thing about this car is the screws which have a tendency to strip out the heads - very small allen keys, I'm in the process of replacing with philips screws or look into titanium screws possibly?

Status: offline 		I would recommend the NTC3. It is great for beginners as well as seasoned pros. Have fun!

On a side note: Please do not type in all CAPS, in a forum it is considered yelling and is rude. Thanks.

Status: offline 		i have only broken my front bumper, it snaps with not much force at all. i agree , buying an after market screw kit from rcscrewz or something like that would ease a lot of the pain in the ass as the allen head slots are way smaller then they had to be.

was the most irritating part of putting it together.

Status: offline 		thye RS4 Evo wil be faster out of the box than the NTC RTR, but the NTC3 RTR will handle better, and is a better built car.

Status: offline 		I've been considering picking up a TC3, but I'm seeing it requires two "fixes" first a set of screws from rcscrewz for 20 dollars. And a set of screws to fix the differintial case breakage problem, which is another 20 dollars. That brings the cost of the kit to 300, same as a Team Magic G4. If I wanted this for bashing and the occasional race, which would you guys recommend? I see that the TC3 is shaft driven, so I wonder how much more bash friendly thats gonna be as opposed to belts.
