XRC on road
I'm looking on getting an XRC 1/5 scale on road car for some parking lot racing. Anyone have any advice or input on this RTR car?
Any help on this would be great.

I dont own one but I have read it has a lot of bugs, but its now revised, I really dont know cause I dont own one. What I can tell you is that for the price I dont care if I have to fix or invest into the car I still want one

RE: XRC on road
I have one, you get what you pay for. Engine is very underpowered and low revving, tyres have pretty poor grip, diff unloads all the time making accelerating out of the corners poor.
BUT, it was cheap and is fun. I have got a 2nd hand mielke pipe off ebay, just fitted and yet to run and have just done a temporary locking of the diff to see how I like it - also yet to run. I had no intentions of racing it but it turns out there is a class for these in stock trim pretty local to me but I'd like to throw a ported CY in it and see how it runs - I like to tinker, stock sucks

what monaroman said, stock tires suck no grip at all. Engine is very underpowered, but a cy is a direct drop in with the right pipe or can. I put my stock baja motor in my car with a modded can (moved stinger to the side of the can) Also it would be a good idea to renforce the stock body, mine shatered on a small impact

RE: XRC on road
a cy is a motor, in large scale you are really only going to hear about 2 motors (there are others)
there are the zenoah motors, and then there are the cloned cy motors.

yes you can get parts for it, but looking here www.tqrcracing.com/servlet/StoreFront , these cars seem like the best cheap option out there now!

I don't need cheap, I have a Technokit TK99... What I need is a cheap parts source and there's a knock off that supposedly the parts fit...
