I did not see an TC3 thread so here it is!Everone that has an tc3 post your stuff here!!

[ovalnator]

Ive got one!!! what shall we talk about??

[TSR6]

Hey guys, I saw a guy take a TC3 RTR straight from the box, onto the track. The only change he made was his Radio. It seamed to run fairly well considering it was a RTR.

[ovalnator]

do they have bearings or bushings??

[TSR6]

It comes with bearings

[ovalnator]

oh, so its just the tc3 racer w/ electronics, cool

[AE_Racer]

What ESC does the RTR come with?

[Fireball]

Prolly some kind of LRP esc.

[TSR6]

LRP Runner ESC, It has Forward & Reverse. It is nice for what it is, but if you are going to race i would suggest getting a better ESC. It's not "legal" for most racing anyways due to the fact it has reverse.

[AE_Racer]

Oh, man...I figured it would be like an F1 or something

[Fireball]

With RTR's, cheapy is the name of the game.

[AE_Racer]

what? the tc3 isnt a cheapp rtr, it seems to be the best electric rtr tc available to be...bearings, nice oil shocks, turnbuckles, etc

[TSR6]

The TC3 really isnt all that "Cheapy" The only "Cheap"part of the whole car is the Radio. If it was me, i would throw the LRP Runner into a Traxxas Rustler, or sell it to someone who has a rustler.

Take the radio and use it only to get basic "car controls" learned down pat ( many people have problems starting out, when the car comes at them they turn the wrong way, ect... Its normal!! ) then get nicer radio like a Futaba Jr, or JR XR2.

By cheap, I meant inexpensive. For example, Associated isn't going to throw in a LRP Pro Digital ESC in a RTR car, because they want to keep the price down. This is why they didn't have a better ESC or a better radio in the car.

I think for the price the RTR TC3 is a sweet car it comes bearings and a good esc! I think it is one of the best rtr cars that u can almost take to the track only thing u need is a good motor!
