I liked my tc3 team when I raced it years ago, but the differentials appeared to be the weak spot for me when using a 19t motor as they overheated on the d rings. Maybe I needed metal outdrives
I had a few IRS parts on it too as well as milling the chassis out with a sander to save weight and the front shock tower mod, but I got rid of it ages ago.
The HPI Pro 2 was another of my favorite cars, I won the stock club championship with it many, many years ago.
Another car I used to race and still have to this day is the tamiya ta05 with a full 3 racing graphite chassis and trf shocks.
A little on the heavy side, but indestructable! And the thick chassis was perfect for high traction tracks using foams. It didn't handle so nicely outdoors on rubber, the chassis flex was virtually non existant.
There is a picture of the car here:
