Associated has no plans on updating the nitro TC3 thus far. They are in full offroad development mode because that is where they make the bulk of their monies/revenue. You might want to check out somebody like Xray, Mugen, Kyosho, Serpent, Capricorn, etc for a replacement to your nitro TC3.

I was pretty resistant to get an xray from my tc3 just due to the cost of parts vs associated. I hear serpent parts are pretty good. strong and not too expensive.. though having owned an xray for a little while now.. yea, i do kinda feel silly resisting it. its a dream to drive and work on. box stock setup works 10x better than the very best i could manage with the ntc3. much easier to service in almost every way and seems to be tough enough for a noob like me.
id would be a different story if i didnt get a butt ton of spare parts with my xray.. that would have been a couple hundred bucks just by itself. buying used seems to be the way to be. just replace any bearings and wear components as needed.. which doesnt appear to be too often.

Ntc3 rocks baby !!!!! With your own improvements of course!!! Anybody use thin double edge stick tape in their AE clutches ???? That combined with a powerful .12 motor will smash any other car.... AE doesn't need to come out with a new nitro tc, just upgrades....

Gear smashing is usually caused by something coming loose, or the pinions being too sharp....

Not a bad design , but not an upgrade to the ntc3 ! People stopped running the ntc3, and usually that's what makes companies slow their upgrade programs.... It's up to the racers now to find solutions, and nobody wants to do that. Here is one solution to front chatter/diff (front and rear) issues: use losi LCD(#3344) drives in the front end... No grinding necessary !!!

Well before AE would come out with a 1/10 sedan they would come out with a 1/8 GT car. They already have the parts from the buggy/Truggy. They (Thunder Tiger) already has a two speed transmision. So all that's needed is there for them to make one. I already did mine with a SC8 and it rocks. I still need to work on the durability of the two speed but everything else does really well.
