The TC3 rally conversion won't fit... I already looked into it. If you look on towers they even say it won't fit..

all you really have to do is get some rally tires and raise the suspension on it maybe do some cuttin to get the arms to have more travel. i dont have a TC4 so i am not too much help.

I might do a tc3 rally conversion. The whole conversion costs i think 60 bucks which isnt htat bad. all i would need is a 200mm body.

If I ever got a car I'd probably want it to be rally-capable. I hope some new models come around soon, or some new ideas to convert older models. I want something that can do fine on smooth pavement (just bashing) but will handle some dirt too. Might have to pick up a TT-01 or something...or a TC3 and the rally conversion but how long will you still be able to find TC3 parts?

Here is my rally car. Its a TT01 obviously. I havent really got a chance to update pics but its got an aluminum drive shaft, bearing set, chameleon 2 motor, hitec esc, proline dish rims w/ new radials, and the body is a little more beat up now.
