RE: the NTC3 count how many here owns a ntc3?
I picked up a NTC3+ last summer. And it's awesome!!! The hop-ups I've done so far are the following: front and rear anti-sway bars, Futaba fail safe, Venom speed meter, three shoe racing clutch, stiffer shock springs for the rear, HPI RX-7 body, Nova cooling head, Hitec steering servo and an improved air filter. I also removed the carb restrictor.
My favorite Tires for Racing are Jaco nitro shoes and I find the HPI super drift tires can be a blast if you're just bashing around. Rubber tires just don't last long enough!
My Dad has along way to go to catch up with me with his rs4 18ss
