ive been looking for an on road 1/10 scale racer for about 250$ it needs to be pretty durable(im not that good) and i will be bashing about 85 percent of the time.i found the tamiya 911 GT3 Cup VIP 2007 and the hpi ford gt E10 so just post away and thanks

and it needs to be pretty fast like more then 40MPH and i will upgrade any small probllems and will get a new moter soon(unlless its fast)

TC4 is the best car out there at that price. It took me almost a year to break something on it. It comes with a 15t motor. Not sure how fast it will go on a speed run, but still fast out of the box. I would suggest buying spare parts for the arms, because bashing can be just as hard on the car, as racing is.

get a tamiya TA05. The E10 is CRAP. I think the tamiya porsche is limited edition.
And you won't get 40mph for less than $250. I don't know US prices, but a TA05, EZrun brushless system (8.5t motor 60A ESC) and battery, as well as the radio gear will be more than that. Plus you have to build it all. If you want RTR, an HPI sprint 2 flux is just as fast, but doesn't handle as well, nor does it cope with grit as well. The stock sprint 2 should be below budget, but not as fast as you want it.

Yeah no one wants to burst your bubble, but you need to go down on your expectations, or up on the funding. The Flux is fast, but I dont think it handles good enough to run in modied class. Which is where it would have to run. But for bashing its excellent. The TC3 or TC4 would both be excellent cars, but you still have to put hot motors in for the performance you are looking for.
