I run a 4300ss and a 5800ss in both of my TC3's. Umm needless to say I love them. A guy that runs with us runs a sprint, he does well. I personally dont like belt driven cars. I had a rs4 mt, cant say Id buy one again. I never had any problems with it though

yea i think i am gonna go with a tc3...bad think about sprints is that there steering is always binding badly and way way to much chassis flex(you can see a huge amount of flex in the front chassis juss by turning the servo left to right.) but it gets going with the right set up..

I have the TC3 and it is nice. I would look at something different though. HPI now has shaft drive.

yea i was tryin to look for something different but i cant really find any better shaft drive cars for a good price/quality ratio than the tc3. i like the pro 4 but its really out of my price range..

t-spec has no good hop-up's.... well there are none really, it was made to give people a cheap, controlled and even racing class putting the placing's down to driver skill, not the car.

id prefer TC3 but sprint is still a fine car to drift

yea i know...the sprint IS a good car but recently my rear belt has been ripping and i dont wanna have to constantly remove parts and install em back juss put replace a belt. and with a tc3 you get a good shaft drivetrain and dont have to worry about replaceing things.

when you guys say t spec. are you guys talkin about the tc3 team kit.
