I know its a bit of a open subject, but im really interested to know what has been winning most of the big events. looking to get a nitro tourer and there are too many choices.

I don't know what could be considered best as there is no way to answer that question objectively. These are all competition level cars and race proven:

Associated NTC3
HPI R40
Kyosho FW-05R
Kyosho VOneRR Evo
Mugen MTX3
Serpent 710
Team Magic G4

I am sure I missed a couple or so but any of these is capable of winning any day given the skill to tune and to drive to their potentials.

It is a question that is bound to get subjective anwsers.

My advice would be;

1. By looking at the design, which one do you like most?

2. Which one has better local parts support? Does anyone in your area run the car?

3. How is your budget?

4. Do you want to upgrade cars? If you do, then some cars have more upgrades than others

That badboy has been around for a fairly long time now, 4 years or so at least. Not a bad car at all, only issues I saw were that the bulkheads broke pretty easily. You should have some fun with it!!

Geez, ask a question like that on some forums, and you end up with a major bitch fight, a thread locked, and half the users banned...

Really its personal preference... Obviously dependant on the type of skill level car you want, some will out perform any day...

But at the top levels, its mostly about driver skill rather then the actual car...

I'm surprised no one has started bashing yet.
All I could say is all the cars that are out right now are capable of winning.
The best advice I could give you on choosing your car is buy a car that you could buy parts for at your local hobby shop.
Buy something that fits your driving skills.
Make sure you get a car that you could get support from the guys at your track.
Bottom line, buy something that you like.

Best advise I've heard.

Ahhh....Kyosho V one S?...anyone?

V-One S

You called?

jeffreylin

dude, your picture is funny. Did that happen to your car?

dontfeelcold, whatever you get, don't get THAT car.

V-One S

Whats wrong with the V-One S?

I've only had driver problems...
Like my fuel prob was from how I yes, ME, screwed the tank back in... it wasn't meant to be mounted how i did it...

There wonderful to drive...
Mine doesnt miss a beat...

jeffreylin

I am not talking about the V-One S. I am talking about the car in Mark David's avatar--the car that's on fire!

Punkynutt

So true, what good is a car if you break a piece of plastic 2 days before a race while practicing and you have to wait for your hobby shop to order from the manufucturer and then wait for them to start-up their plastic molding machine............

A well supported car, something most people at the track know about/driving or have driven.

V-One S

Sorry about that, i thought because you quoted im saying V-One S you meant not to get that car...
Sorry...
