I have an Associated T6 for whatever racing I can find but the bulk of my cars are HPI.. I specifically love the older RS4 electrics as well as the Sprint 2's.. The Associated can get expensive but the HPI's are actually pretty cheap to buy and run. You can find the RS4's on ebay for cheap but spare parts are harder to find for a 10+ year old car. The Sprint 2's are everywhere. I run the HPI's on saturday nights at my local race track and its more of a smashup derby than a race but its all for fun anyway.. The T6 is strictly a racer and too fragile for bashing around with. I run all my touring cars as brushless high KV motors on lipo and see speeds around 55-60mph.. They are fast!!! for my real speed I keep around a Traxxas nitro 4tec 3.3.. Doesn't handle as well as the other TC's but its a 70+ mph car all day.. Did you ever get any cars or just run other guys touring cars?
