people say that because HB isn't releasing updates every year...to me, that says that the chassis works without the need for yearly refinements (cough xray cough)
just wish the part supply was a little better and more consistent instead of those periods where everyone it hunting for parts because the next run of parts didn't start yet

I have a ton stashed away. I know in the past that's been the biggest bash against the chassis.. well, parts and the fact its not updated every year 
all the chassis (minus the awesomatix) share the same designs anymore...I don't think its a point of one chassis being leaps above the others anymore (again, not counting the awesomatix)

Just ordered my HB TCXX!
I will run it with a hobbywing v3.1 120A/ reedy sonic mach2 13.5T.
My hometown track is indoor carpet medium size low traction (Corally testtrack Netherlands)
Is 24T a good pinion to start with?
I come from Tamiya M03 so this will be my first tc.
Do you guys have building tips or things to give special attention?
I will appreciate it!

hate to say this, but I don't know. it'll all depend on the layout - is it tight/technical or wide open/flowing - so there isn't a 'run this and you'll be good everywhere' pinion.
its not like running the M03, you have multiply options for gearing in the TCXX
that's why I said its better to ask the guys running there what they would advise as a good FDR (final drive ratio) to start with. the FDR is something that can be passed from one chassis to another, as long as you know the calculation:
spur gear/pinion gear * 1.95
to find the pinion you'd need, do this calculation:
spur gear * 1.95 / FDR -- that will tell you the number of teeth you need on your pinion
that way, for example, a xray driver can tell you they're running a FDR of 4.5 - so you just need a calculator (or app on your phone) to figure out what'll get you close to that

I just wanted something to start out with so i wouldn't burn my motor.
Something safe so temperature stays low.
but it's a tight/technical track.
I appreciate your input

I too have just purchased a tcxx and will be running it in 13.5 blinky class.
What is the smallest 64dp spur you can fit on there and still get a mesh. Im looking at running around 4 / 4.5 to 1 overall ratio.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
