RCfoolz,

You are absoultely correct. If you put the 4-tec motor in the NTC3, they would have similar speed. The only problem is is that I never said that the NTC couldn't be as fast with a different motor. The question was "which car to go with, the 4-tec RTR or the NTC RTR ". Last time I checked, the NTC3 RTR was not available with the Traxxas 2.5 motor.

I stand by my statement that in "RTR" form, the Traxxas is quite a bit faster (in a straight line) than the NTC3. If you want to race and win, the NTC3 is probably the better choice. If Spazzyfry wants the best of both worlds, he can always upgrade the motor in the NTC3.
