Alright, ive got my hands on an FTTC3 chassis, so now its time to talk electronics and the like. Any reccomendations as to ESC's motors and radio equipment would be extremely helpful. Try to keep things inexpensive too im not exactly rolling in the dough.
Thanks in advace for all the help.

ok ... for servos ... get a good high speed digital servo if you have the money .. otherwise a standard high speed will do ... I like the JR Z8450 in My TC3's ... its fast (.08 sec / 60* @ 4.0v) if I remember the specs right .. but its fast and holds the steering well even through fast high load sweepers on carpet with foams ... and it wasnt that bad on price ... I think I got the first one for $105 .. but the second one I got online through a hobby shop for like $92 after shipping and all that ... so not too bad on the pocket and well worth it ...
for ESC's ( Electonic Speed Controls ) I would say if you can get one online from someone that has great feed back go for it ... I have bought top of the line stuff online once and it is still working just fine ... I still dont trust the online game .. but hey .. thats just me ... that online speedo has been the only deal that has gone right for me ... so I am kinda biased against it ... the rest of the deals have fallen through altho I have yet to lose money one did hold my money for a month and a half after saying the product was there and mine resold it ( without telling me ) then sent my money back after repeated emails asking for the product with a note saying sorry resold ofr more money .. so just a word to the warning ... check the person out before mailing off your money or try to pay via a secure method ... I send mine out via usmail return reciept requested so they have to sign for the checks and I do it via bank note so I can stop payment if the product doesnt arrive and get some of my money back just a little thoughts on how to protect yourself. but get the best now .. it saves money down the road when you would want to upgrade...
have fun racing

Hi friends.Greetings from Malta.
NTC3 STEERING.
I have 2 cars I run for my son. I have fitted NTC3 steering levers on one of them. I didn't do it the normal way. Instead I anchored the arms off the front diff case.
By redrilling them for a shorter radius you get a little more ackerman than standard but not as much as the standard NTC3 set up.
I have driven both and can't say i find any particular difference except far less play with the NTC3 steering.
Regards
