diffrence in FT TC5's
 

I AM LOOKING TO GET INTO ONROAD RC I HAVE BEEN RACING OFFROAD RC FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS NOW SO I KNOW THAT RC IS ALL ABOUT GETTING THE BEST BANG FOR UR BUCK. SO I SAID ALL THAT TO ASK THIS QUESTION WHAT IS THE DIFFRENCE BETWEEN THE FT TC5 AN THE FT TC5R? AN IS IT WIRTH ME PAYING THE EXTRA 100.00 DOLLARS FOR THE FT TC5R OR SHOULD I JUST BUY THE REGULER FT? I NEED YA'LLS HELP THANKS

I bought the TC5 because it was a cheaper option and i haven't regretted it yet. Don't think i will, until it's really outdated anyway.
The TC5R and F are purposely built for rubber and foam racing therefor they have differences, like the thickness of the chassis plates, depending on your $$$ situation, buy what you think is right for you.
I run on rubber so i decided i'd save some money and just buy the TC5.
Hope that helps.

If you are going to race rubber/Asphalt then my answer would be spend the extra.

I bought the original TC5 when it came out and have spent more than $100 on bits.

ITF chassis
ITF top deck
Ali outdrives (rear)
Slipper spool (front)
Softer springs.
Caster blocks 6degree
etc.

Just my opinion.;)
