Your Tamiya-branded undies are showing, just thought someone should tell you.
I have raced over 17 yrs and I have yet to see one truly be competitive in anything but a VTA class. ( And hardly there with the TB03 and TA05 being popular choice of racers, as well as the TC6+ and other modern day chassis's )
Call it what you want. The 414 is a Superior car in every way.
No denying that.
TC3/4 are ok. They're cool to stick a Castle setup in and run 3s.
