Touring Recommendation
A carpet touring track just opened close to my house and I went there last night. My brother and I rented a couple E10's to try out and we both liked on road and we want to get cars of our own. The owner said that they will be racing a mod class which is what we will be interested in racing. I have been racing offroad for 2 years now. I will most likely be buying used and don't have a whole lot to spend, I would like to get 2 of the same cars. What would be good cars for us?
Thanks in advance for the help!

I saw a few of the 007's for sale on here and I'm not even looking for anything that fancy. Would a TC3 or TC4 be good or are there better cars out there at a good price? The track that I will be racing at requires foam tires too. I don't really want a XXX-S because I had 2 XXX4's and I hated them.

TC4 is a good start. Its a nice entry level car that can be upgraded as you advance.

The tc4 is going to be a handful running mod as its shaft and your going to be fighting some torque steer

What would be the best foam tires? 26mm, 28mm, 30mm? What color compound? I am looking at the TRC tires.

you're going to run mod on that track?!?! seems kinda small for mod.
Just wanted to chime in and say that if you're new to onroad.. you might want to start in stock first. also if you're racing on a budget.. mod is probably not the best idea. mod guys go crazy and get tire warmers and things like that to get any advantage they can. So just be prepared that you might end up spending far more than you want. which could kill the hobby for you. you might also get discouraged when you arent competitive or you break too many parts. i really think you should start with stock if you want to have fun.

I will do stock first since I have all the good stock equipment from racing stock offroad. I already have lipo packs, a lathe, a good charger and power supply, mod brushless system, some putnam top of the line 27T motors too. It is a new track so the classes really depend on the turnout. I am still wondering which tires to get.
