What's a Barracula? People have given you advice on this topic and instead of taking it, you have widened the choice even further.

Everyone has differing opinions on cars but all of the cars you mentioned are good. Pick the one you like and go with that. You are the one who has to drive it and fix it.

By the way, you omitted the EVO3 and Mission from your list.

Put the names in a hat and pick one out. They are all good.

Not one of those cars will be any faster than the other.
If you are on here asking that sort of question, by the time you can drive good enough for it to make a difference it will be time for a new car any way.

Get the car with the most Bling, like the surikarn.

You have asked this question before on different forums - didn't you like the aswers you got or something?

Pick something a) within your price bracket, b) that has good support (other people who race it, easy & cheap to get parts etc) and c) that works at your track.

I chose a mission on all 3 points :

a) cheap. $300/$450 for standard/pro. I went the standard and it rocks, although it's a bit bendy. Doesn't seem to be a big issue for 540/stock, but mod will probably need a pro (carbon fibre) version.

b) Well supported. And the cheapest hopups & spares I've seen for a frontline tourer. Easy to source in Australia too - a winner all round.

c) It's a weapon. I can pick the fast guys' brains when it's not running great too.

YMMV.

Hi Mr Raven, its Timmy here,
I noticed that you are having some trouble deciding on a car. Heres my opinion, o.k?

All of them have 4 wheels. They all accept a 540 sized motor. They all need a steering servo thingy & a reciever thingy in them too. What happens is that when you pull the trigger on your radio, they all go Vrrroooooooommmmmm, until you take your finger off the trigger. They all have 4 shocks & springs too. Shocks & springs help you lower your car & make it look sick. You can put mags on all of them too, how cool is that?

Mr Besercoe drives an Xray. Im sure if you send him a p.m, he will tell you how much he likes his Xray, in fact, he told me today that he hopes you do send him a p.m, he likes you. He sleeps with his Xray, & one day they are going to have babies.

Mr Raven, im not sure how much it can help you having other people tell you how THEIR car is to drive. Im sure they all set it up differently, run on different tarcks, with different tyres etc, so its pretty pointless really asking.

My reccomendation is the TA03F TRF Surikarn JUN. Mine is really fast. Its single belt too, exactly like a Losi!

Regards
Timmy

Dude
you are belting yourself up on this matter , stop loosing sleep
if you look at some rc car club web sites / also sponsered drivers sites ,you can see who and what drivers are racing /driving and thier set ups ,what ESCs thay are useing and what type of Motors / rollout they have

this will eliminate all personal replys on thIS thread you then can start to reserch the cars brand hompage and what spec they have parts /hop ups etc etc
IT DOESNT MATER WHAT CAR YOU RACE
95% OF THE WINNING DRIVERS IN MOST MEETS BOILS DOWN TO THIER ABILITY TO DRIVE CLEANLY


HOWEVER since i baught my Xray i feel that this car is what i was looking for , that suits my driving
and i done a lot of homwork before buying
