hence my name. because it does handle well, roto start is a knuckle saver ( i love it ), awsome t15 engine 1.35 hp, easy to tune, etc etc...

go with the evo 3 I have one and I love it.
Been drifting mine for about 3/4 gal and no problems at all. I've only tuned it once and its still fine.

there both good cars, t15 at 1.35hp my ass. there both quick cars and are durable. the ntc3 is more for racing and it costs alot more to set the rs4 3 for racing.

I must sway with the majority saying the Evo3.
I have not personally raced one. But I hear from my local track chatter they handle really well and Generally are a easy car to tune.
+ They look great
Mhm, Dont even start me on the Pull-start... Once I had the handle from my pullstart Kyosho-05-S Hit me in the eye when it decided to come out.
Not saying that its The cars fault, Just hurt. damn pull-start.
But, Dont let me put you off them for-ever. lol
- In my final personal opinion, go with the Evo3.

check out my evo, it has a racers edge chassis, graphite upperdeck, graphite front and rear shock towers. An rd logics tuned pipe and an 18tz that has never been broken in.

ran the chassis once with the stock engine and rd logics pipefor 2 minutes to see if the stock engine could handle the added weight. Then switched to an 18tz which I never broke in yet.

I like the tc3 because all I broke in one is one spur gear and a pivot ball socket caps. I have a o.s. 18 cv-r and this thing will set the road on fire[sm=devious.gif]

i have the O.S 18 engine and it was the best investment i've ever made! and i bet my car can crush yours on the track.

I have both of these, i wrote up a little comparison in a post last year for someone, maybe it can still be found in the search. Basicaly, if i had to pick one to keep, id choose my TC3. I would question the idea that the rs4 handles better than the tc3, that's not what ive observed. But the hpi car is a great beginners nitro car. Im sure you'll enjoy either one.

I say TC3.. Amazing car. The build was great, and driving it just makes it all worth the effort.

Good Luck
