Does this car EXIST?
Hi, I was looking on the internet for this car called the "MRC Acaddemy SRT-4" but I can't seem to find it on any searches I made, I would like some information on it, who sells it and if the company has a home page? Many thanks.

Academy is a Korean company and is distrubuted in the US by MRC (check their website, the full name is Model Rectifier Corporation I guess) .
The STR4-PRO has been tested in last RCCA with the TC3 and the EVO3 (it was the slowest) .

Ah ok, I was going to buy an Associated TC3 but my friend said that the MRC was cheaper, but I don't want a slow car, thanks for the tip.

Wo, wait a second. The MRC Acaddemy SRT-4 is no slouch and the reason that it didn't run as well in the head to head running is because they didn't change any of them from there box stock form (i.e. no oil/spring changes). The SRT-4 is a good car and as long as you've got spares, your set(as parts arn't in many LHS). I'm sure it could be at the head of the pack if setup and driven correctly.
I don't trust the reviews in RCCA at all. There are alot of times where the reviews are very rushed and they don't get enough time to actually take a day and really work the car and find out what it's really like. (Derek Bruno an ex editor for Rcca said that on this forum a while ago)
A few examples are when they tested the Axis 2 on carpet for the review and when they tested the kx-one in a bombed out parking lot, with some crappy pvc pipe as a test track.

Even with the 1:1 world, when they do comparos chances are certain models would handle better if they had better tyres etc etc. Manufacturers usually equip their cars to a price. You certainly don't hear of eg Road & Track magazine bothering to change tyres of the test vehicles so that they're all equal before putting them to the test?

I just checked out last month's RCCA and the SRT-4 PRO looks good. With a woven 2 deck graphite chassis, machined purple alloy parts all over. The report said that the car had a lot of grip in the turns, and one of the test drivers complained that the car wasn't as loose as he was used to going into the turns. I want it!

Dec. 2001: RCCA did a full on 11 car shoot out which included the STR.... FT TC3, TB EVO2, X-Ray T1, KX-one, Corally C4, Schumacher Axis 2, Ofna OB4 international, Pro3, and MR4TC special..... and the winner was the standard Losi XXX-S.... not even the G+!!!! The test was done on a prepared race track with equal equiptment and they allowed for tuning....... So don't pull the unfare advantage crap......I have been able to check out an STR4 Pro and the suspension has alot of flex and the chassis twists as if it has no support at all!!
The RCCA test was preformed by 3 members of the RCCA staff, and about the only thing they had god to say was that it looked cool.......
