The way I see it....
if our not going to use your TC3 or if you have spares and extra Hop Ups/high end bearings - use them in the TC4, if you can't wait for the FT version.
Graphite Diffs. Blue print it right away
Since the knuckle hubs are still plastic/composite use the Losi Knuckles/C-Hubs
Use the Ti Turnbuckles from the TC3
And since the material is composite, which may be softer than the coming Graphite chassis. An upper deck may be needed (calling WarpSpeed.......)
But until we buy the Team version, we will never know. That's the most painful thing.
On the other hand, the team TC3, in capable hands can blow away any tourer for that matter. Oh well, guess we are all suckers since we love the TC3 so much!
Peace and Happy Racing!!

ps: i already made reservations

Not only that. Everybody will buy the team tc4 now and buy every hop-up part as it comes out and then when the ft tc4 comes out probably with other new parts everyone will buy that too. So they're making 3 times as much money as they would make if they just released a ft kit right away.

TC3.0001
If Losi Puts an extra hole on the shock tower and calls it a xxxx-s then I will sell all my losi stuff that day. As a die hard losi guy I am confident that wont be the case, However, with assoc. new tc many fans of the company will jump ship when the new daring cutting edge losi comes out. Mark my words

Socal Raceway = Super Dialed Losi's
I guess I don't have to worry about getting beat by the New TC3.0001 in pro-stock that is a releif because the TC3 is a good car already I would have been worried if they would have made real changes Losi domination will continue

I don't know what you guys are bickering about. How much could they change, really? The problems the TC3 had have been fixed, and a few new options to make it better. What more do you want??? You can't make a great (and still winning!!) design that much different

we dont know if it has been fixed. It is all speculation on what we have seen in pictures. Give it a few months of hard racing and abuse then you could talk about the problems being fixed. Hopefully they have been though.
As for the worlds race, I think there are three guys outside of the associated and losi camps that could win no matter what chassis they use. Hara, Cryul, and Surikarn.
