Status: offline 		I have the Tc3, and have never owned a xxx-s. I'm not going to say one is better than the other. There are only those 2 types of cars at my track, and both are very fast. The thing I noticed about the two cars is, that if you take the pinion gear off of both, and spin the wheels by hand, the tc3 spins much easier. The belt on the XXX-s seams a bit more restrictive. But like i say, I don't believe one is better that the other. In the right hands, either car can be the fastest. I would suggest you find out which car you can get parts for the cheapest, and easiest, and just go have fun. If you do any racing, and can't win with a Tc3, a XXX-s isn't going to put you in the winners circle either! Have fun! David.

Status: offline 		I have owned both a TC3 Factory Team car, and got rid of it for a XXXS. i love my XXXS. I am not a real big fan of that shaft drive and inline motor on the TC3. I always had a bad problem with Torque steering, and a bad chassis tweak I could never get out. I will say that the XXXS isnt the strongest car out there, but anyonroad car pushed to its limits wil break on a racetrack. If you get a XXXS get the Graphite Plus version, if you can afford it. All the good stuff is in the box, and is all the updated parts. IF you have any questions email me at [email]Dalotus17@yahoo.com[/email] Good luck with your choice

Status: offline 		There both really good cars. have own sevral of both. Have not had the chance to own the grafite plus yet.

The tc3 is fast and sticks really good. The shock are build them and forget them. Nice. You will spend more time chacing tweak and set up. The car changes everytime you run it.

The xxx-s is also fast...if you take the time to clean the bearings. The losi is the only car on the market to keep up to the tc3 in horse power and run time. Gotta love single belt! The shocks do need a little more attention than the tc3. Once the car is set up.......it will never tweak or get wierd. its the same alll the time. Just keep and eye on the bearings and shocks.

it boils down to how much you work on your car. if you dont like or dont know how to set up a car......get the losi...have one of the fast guys help get it set up. and drive it.

if you dont mind playing with the setup all the time.....get the tc3....have one of the fast guys help set it up and learn how to keep it there.

hope this helps
