Default Touring Car Choices

I'd like to have race car which I will drive it as practice car as well. FYI I used to play such this hobby a long time ago. The budget only fits for one car only, so I prefer the fastest, the most reliable and cheap spare parts.

What do you recommend if I'd like to have only one car but I may use it from beginner to pro level driver. I just like to upgrade such as suspension, chasis, transmision only, if my skills improved and requires upgrades.

My preference is Kyosho V1 RR Evo, Serpent 710, Mugen MTX 3, CEN CT4R, HPI R-40. Could you rank them up for me ?

Last Q, what is the different between beginner touring car and pro touring car physicaly and feels ? I'm confused, but I suppose that pro car would be better in handlng right ??

Thanks

1st - use the search button and you will find loads of info here on RCU on each of these cars.

2nd - A beginner car is usually classified a Ready-To-Race (RTR) it is made up from cheaper parts to keep cost low and comes complete with EVERYTHING that is needed to get going right out of the box. Pro Kits are usually made of all the team parts and cost more. The Pro/Team kits you usually still need to buy radio and engine and maybe a few other parts. So they cost more.

Hope this helps.

It's better that you get a RTR first since you just started. Try nitro TC3 RTR. It's a good car to start!
