New car for VTA need options
#2
The point of the story? Simple, there's a lot of great cars out there and price has little to do with how "GOOD" they are. The real money you invest will be in practice,practice,practice because the car is only part of the equation. YOU are the other part. So consider buying whatever you feel comfortable with whether expensive or inexpensive, then learn setup,race technique and sportsmanship. Welcome to VTA !!!!

Find the VTA thread, all the guys there will help if you post there.
I personally run a TC4 tub. Works well. At my track I see TC4's and TC5's along with Xray's. See what parts your local hobby shop carries. It's nice to be able to get parts quickly. Also check the track you're planning on running on, see what they run. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Most racers are very helpful.

Its one thing if you just want a nice piece of gear for the class. Its another if you intend to disregard good advice in order to believe a piece of equipment is going to get you a win.

Any price, huh?
I would get either an X-ray 09 or the new Corally Phi. I would also buy 2-3 of them. One for RCGT if your track also runs that class and the others for back up. I would order several tuning and back up parts like spools, arms, diff rebuilds, and sway bars.
I would get the Tekin RS ESC, an SMC 40C battery, Spektrum micro receiver, and a .07 second steering servo.
I would take a class at the local community college about vehicular physics and make friends with all my local fast guys by supplying them with beer and sandwiches.
I would travel to as many tracks as possible.
I would have a lot of fun.
