You'd think we could all at least wait till it's on the shelves & some regular drivers race it before we decide it's good or not(but wait, what am I saying, that's just common sense which is quickly disappearing from the world)....

It's quite easy to judge the FT, because it's not a lot differen't to a tc4. It also means the tc4 come more inline with a pro4 and baracuda. I think it's perfectly natural to judge something before you buy it. Otherwise you would have to by one of every kit before you knew you had the one you wanted to stick with...
But the real jugdment will be when we know the price.

All my overweight comments were base on the exisiting kit, eg the one I own. Did you think I already had a FTTC4???
Feel free to patronise me all you like. At least I don't go around claiming to be the greatest driver who was sponser etc. I called you a noob in jest but I guess you took it to heart so I'm sorry for that.

I must say, this FT TC4 looks sweeeeeeeeeeet. Is it just me, or does that chassis look like a BMI Chassis???

I got to say that I'm a little dissapointed. I bought the TC4 early in October when it came out. After sorting out various problems and spending $75+ just to get the it running (Bumper, Front Outdrives, etc). I understand that the FT TC4 looks like a pretty sizeable improvement over the Team TC4 kit. But the annoying part is, is that soo much money was spent into the Team Kit I have. I probably may just stay with the Team kit since it seems to be an excellent car at my local track. Although, I may get the conversion kit; if there ever make one.
I just wish that AE sorted out all the "bugs" with the team kit before they released it. I would've also hoped that AE used this carbon fiber theme once they released it.
It's all good. Keep up the good work AE.

How does it drive? Is it faster? Is my TC4 obsolete now or will the FT chassis interchange without spending a mint on parts. Somehow I feel like im getting burned on all this. I have never been happy with my TC4 will this super bling chassis fix it? Well next time I will just have to buy a real kit when it comes out. Not one that requires $150.00 in option parts to be decent.
