Are you still going to race VTA with it? If so, maybe a TB Evo IV or V shaft driven would be good. I got my Evo V for $350. For belt driven the XRAY T2R Pro looks good and is just under $300. AE TC5 and Hot Bodies Cyclone TC Cyclone are good too!

I have two TC5's And theyr definatly the victor in that competition. Awesome cars and they look incredible. although the cyclone looks nice and goes quite well it pales in comparison to the TC5. Team Associated Really made and incredible car here

both look like nice cars and since I don't own either it's hard to give an opinion but.... if you only own one then it's hard to say it's better. You can say you really like yours and you'd recommend it but how do you know it's better unless you've owned both?

I do own a TA-05R and I really like it but I don't know how it compares to the others.

Which esc are you using?

I have the 5625 in my E-Firestorm and it's an excellent servo!

Just look at the BEC rating of the ESC you're using. Most these days are between 5-6V.
