RE: got a new tc3 now what
Piero he asked for an engine, not a random quote.
What do u want, pull start or non pullstart? pullstart will be side exhaust but can be made into non pullstart as well rear exaust is always non pullstart which means u need a starter box. Team Associated sell refurbished ones on thier side for almost half price.
Check out the following engines from the tower hobbies site:
Associated LRP Z.12R Team Engine
Team Orion Wasp .12 Turbo
Team Orion Wasp .12 Side Exhaust
O.S. .12 TZ Turbo
O.S. .12 TZ (P)-T 3-Port Turbo
O.S. .12 TZ (P)-T 5-Port Turbo
Trinity Rossi Black Pixi .12 Outlaw Rear Exhaust
All those engines are high hp 1.4hp+ and over 30 000 RPM, some reach the 40 000 mark, with the right practice and car setup, u WILL demolish anyone who stands in your way. the higher rpm the faster you will go, the HP is just an indication of how fast it gets there. so if i were you look at the engines with higher rpm and get that, unless your looking more at acceleration. all those engines are $210 and under.

RE: got a new tc3 now what
It just seems wierd to me that someone would get the rtr and change out the motor right away. He should of got the FT Kit instead and use a real radio and some digital servos.
Why not practice with what you got and when you know your car better than you will already know what he needs and what he doesnt. That would be better than asking this board that Im afraid has some posers. JK[sm=lol.gif]
