TC6 v MI4CX v HB TCX
All these cars are top chassis I know . And alot comes down to personal preference. But I am in the market for a new car to run 17.5 stock. I just want some feedback on the different cars and what people have seen.

Love the TCX and it is FAST. It is a little more brittle than the other two you mentioned though. One way to fix breaks on the cars is use the front arms from a Pro4. Use Xray steering knuckles. Lastly, get a larger bumper. That would solve most of the problems with the TCX... I love the car though.

Me too.....I love my TCX. Handles really good. For me the car is durable, never broke anything. The one thing to consider is parts, coz HB/HPI parts are not easily available. Other than that its a winner.

choices...choices
do like me and just get every car you want..
try them...all..
and pick which you like...and Yes I did it.
if you're in the US..you probably won't get much support with the Schuie..but it looks darn good.
TC6---absolutely great, generates so much traction it's ridiculous ...only thing suggest to change is the shocks to Tamiyas. the ones I got didn't build so great even after 3 tries.
TCX---carves the corners like a beast..but as Jamie said..you gotta change a few parts.
broke a lot of parts...in one month of use.
T3 2011-i know not on your list..but don't forget it...the car is finally dialed....the chassis changes has made the car Nutz.
might be a few dollars upfront..but you won't be replacing parts often...After all, racers who try mod any other brand car..always pull Xray parts to see if they fit....
I still haven't gotten rid of my TCX I'm always impressed, as long as it survives a qualifier. if you go to the TCX thread you'll see all the changes i did on mine.

Since running it I've found the CX the best car i have driven to date. Im not a super human driver, just an average club racer and this car has been the best thing for my racing. We are running a new lay out and i was running the new HW software for the first time so I had one of the slower cars in our 17.5 field last weekend but had the corner speed and the consistency to Take TQ and 3 finals.

I went through the same process trying to decide between these chassis's.
I've ended up with a tc6, mainly because of a great deal I got from tower hobbies.
I bought 2 kit's delivered for $650 with coupons and discounted shipping.
If money wasn’t a factor I’d get a T3'11. Anyway all the kits are at the same level in terms of performance, so get the one you can get support and parts easily...
