Here's what you do. Get the cheapest possible used car and start racing. Around my track somebody is offloading some lightly used TC6 or Xray T4 and a bunch of parts because the latest and greatest just came out.
Seriously, every other week one of the hot shoes is selling something on the cheap.
Its when you've already got something that you'll find the best deals.
Works just like women...

+1 for a metric car, I won't touch another car that doesn't use metric hardware myself, just plain inconvenient to have to sort hardware and tools; lets face it, SAE was a big mistake.
I bought a couple used TC6's and I couldn't be happier. I'll occasionally let my 13 y/o son race one and he's yet to break a hub carrier. When he runs one of my DriftKing's he can rarely make it through a race without busting a hub carrier as he's always driving beyond his skill and bangs up the walls a lot

picked up 2 X-Ray T3s, one an R edition but with some upgrades and the other a 2012 or whatever was the last one.
Right now, looking at bodies. I am thinking a body that has some push to it for my daughter could be useful to help her ease into things.
Any recommendations to that end?
Also I searched the thread for "Subaru" but didn't see any opinions on how handling was on those bodies like the WRX, etc. Got I believe a car coming with one new, curious if its worth using or not.

I know first place at the Southern Nats used a 200mm corvette body. 2nd and 3rd were 350z's. 4th and 6th were NSX.
Watch this video at about 50 seconds in and you can see what people were using.

Actually, RJ used a HPI MRS for 2nd. Bill Sydor was in a 350Z. I am not sure what the Lyons were using.

Speaking of which, and I apologize if this was already mentioned, but anyone running any "hatchback" looking bodies? My daughter seems to like the look of a few, including the mini cooper that her uncle has, curious if there is a body that fits and works well?
And lastly, do people every run VTA style bodies or is that another body type that is not allowed like touring types? As a kid, loved the smoky and the bandit movies so of course, love the car lol.
I am thinking this class is where we are going to start, especially as electronics are a bit more open and I can get some battery reuse (7200s from my Tekno SCT410) unless I am missing some limitation on that like VTA?

Cool thanks for the body tip!
Will give that a look as well, like the look of it.
