Have you let other drivers try your TM4? if so, what did they have to say about it?

Have you drove one with a center diff? They are two totally diffrent cars and in my opinion they should include the center diff and make it a TE kit or something but it comoletly transforms this car into a beast and like I said it is a needed part if your serious racing.

Just to clarify, the center diff is the gear diff right?

I have to disagree with not needing the center dif!!

+10000 completely transforms the car, there is a reason why all new cars now come with them. The car brakes better, accelerates faster and has better control in the air.

Its easier to drive with the center dif, you no longer do wheelies, which look cool but waste time. And you can brake much later into the turns without locking up the front tires. I typically run from 30-50 k in mine, trying Kyosho 30k grease in mine this weekend

I don't know about easier as much as more comfortable and doesn't feel edgy so I guess thats easier haha. I run 10k front 100k center and 5k rear on just about every track including loose tracks. The only time I change it is if it is really tight then i'll drop to 7k in the front but other then that I leave the diffs where they are and continue to win with it. The only other thing I changed was 1.6 pistons 35wt oil front and 1.7 piston with 32.5 oil rear and kyosho gold springs all around and this car is a rocket ship that is durable, easy to work on and very quick in the corners. It drives alot like a 1/8 buggy

How does this car compare to the offerings by TLR and Durango? Just thinking about maybe getting a new 4 wheeler since my old b44.2 and debating on which one to buy...

My Team C TM4 is ordered and shipped, can't wait to build. I have also the B44.3, and i like the car how he drives, easy and fast, cheap to maintenance, but it's a pain in the ass to change diffs and camberlinkpossitions. Especialy when like in europe we drive on different tracks each race, astroturf, carpet, clay, dirt, al mixed together while the B44.3 is more focust on dirt and clay tracks only, and not so easy to change each race diffs and geometrie for the differnt style of track, fot that the TM4 is a dreamcar. and with less tralalala like XRay xb4
