Go with whatever you can get the most parts for locally. I run a Tamiya TA05 and love it. Part support is next to nill, so I have to stock parts myself or wait 4-5 days. I started out with a Team TC4 because my race track had parts. Your getting started, so you need track time. Part support and quality practice time should be a priority. Welcome back.

A washer glued to the steering knuckle fixes that. All the factory drivers did this when they ran this car. If I'm not mistaken, you can fit the LCD on this car too.
I run my car on carpet with rubber tires. Running the kit setup with just the addition of a front swaybar. It's pretty dialed.

Guys,
I hate to jump in and hijack the thread but I'm pretty new to electric on road and I have a XXX-S+graphite and I had noticed the chattering and haven't heard of the washer trick. Can someone reply with it or PM me about it? Thanks.
For what its worth, I'm going to go to a T2R. My car seems a bit fragile compared to the Xray's I run with. Also chicagokenji is right 12th scale is cheap, fast, fun and DURABLE. Do you want to drive it or wrench on it?

Save your money! Spend it on batts, motors, whatever else. We have 3-4 guys at aour track that run this car. It's very durable. All cars will break if you can't keep them of the boards. Just glue a .03 washer to the steering knuckle where the dimple is.

Dasupacat1,
Thanks, I will give it a try. Just use super glue, tire glue or what? And I fully understand and agree with you about keeping the car off the boards but I have seen some horrific crashes and the X-rays seem to drive away all the time. As RandyB says the front seems awefully fragile. I've got a couple of months to improve before the next shipments of T2R's come around. Maybe it'll be good enough. Time will tell.
Thanks, again.
