I think Tamiya parts are pretty hard to find. And they aren't orientate towards racing, well the nitros aren't. You might try also looking at the nitro tc3+

yea the ntc3 are cool
But what i was looking for was more like a rally nitro car.
I know HPI make some but they are way more expensive.

If you want a rally car, a ntc3 might work if you could get the clearance. I'm not sure how much clearance a 1/10th rally needs. You'd also need to buy some rally tires and find a way to seal the bottom chassis so rocks doesn't get in the spur gears.

I know the super nitro rs4 kit runs about $200. I can't see the rally version costing much more than that.

yeah, retail is $510. expect to pay about half retail unless you have no access to anywhere BUT buyhpi.
Also, no, that conversion kit is NOT for the NTC3, it's for the TC3.

lol, honestly that seems to be the most outdated design features, and the inovations dont help the car what so ever on it...I would keep it as a photo...plz dont buy it.

300.00????
do some research....
The car looks pretty cheesy.....you can do ALOT better.
What's with the exhaust tube directed to the front bumper??? after a few tanks the underside of the chassis would be a nightmare to clean[:'(]
