Yeah I've had an ntc3 for over a year no and no problems at all with it. Though I don't race I just drive it every now and then when I'm bored

I have never heard anything bad about the kyosho if that makes you feel better. I personally would get the FW05.

no serious modding right now..gonna enter in the stock class at my nitro club for now. i have a rs4, but it will cost too much to bring it up to the amount of tunablilty that the kyosho has. what i wanted to kno is the which one is more tunable (suspension wise and so on), the ntc3 plus or the FW-05T plus?

Kyosho FW05T is by far the superior vehicle on the track. On the street, there's nothing to choose between them. They both need work and money to be competent racers.

No argument there. Kyosho parts are a bit if a nightmare...

Seeing that the OP is from Trinidad and Tobago, it might be the exact opposite for him... Kyosho's TCs aren't as 'big' as they are in US and Canada as they are in the rest of the world...

But who knows.

To the OP: IMO, get whatever you can get most parts for. Its better to be able to stock up quickly than to wait weeks for replacement parts.

Where I live in Canada, Kyosho takes the cake. AE parts availabilty compared to Kyosho parts here are like comparing Acura NSX's and Honda Civics. Sure you see NSX's once in a while, but the Civic is everywhere...
