Need tip for first onroad car
 
I have a few years of experience with offroad buggies (now running a Kyosho Inferno VE) and want to try out onroad. What would be a nice onroad car to start with? Would be nice if I could use the same batteries as the Inferno (2 x 2C LiPo) but not a must. Got a tip for the Xray T3, but I want a RTR car because of limited time :-)

Appreciate any tip!

Any suggestions for a good on road car? Only driving for fun on tracks, no competitions.

Maybe a rtr Tamiya tb03 is a good choice

Find a good condition used chassis. Same price as RTR. But, you will have a race ready chassis vs. Something that will barely get around the track. Best ready to run IMO is Associated's TC4. Hope this helps

No TA dealer in my country. And I cannot find TC4 on Ebay either?

Shipping overseas might be cost prohibitive, but AE has refurbished TC4 RTR's in stock for $199.99.

AE has also just released their TC4 club racer. The chassis comes assembled so most of the work is done, but you will have to install your own electronics, body, and wheel/tires.

I think Scandanavia. I think for him the best place for a TB03 is www.tamiyaclub.com TB03 can be tuned with a variety of tuning parts like a 3Racing cabon chassis, alloy uprights etc
Here is the Swedish importer: http://www.ebertoysab.se/sv/sidor/182/af-tamiya.aspx

Iīm from Norway but sometimes shipping doesnīt cost too much. But this isnīt a brushless system with LiPo so maybe a little out of date??

What about the Hot Bodies Cyclone S? Seems to get good reviews?

That's a Hara car, but if you can wait they have a new one coming out this summer.:D

look at the sakura zero s, availible at rcland.no

SteveM 04-11-2012 01:15 PM

The best value in a 4wd sedan from what I've seen is the Sakura Zero S.

I would consider something from Xray or Schumacher. Both of those companies originate in Europe so finding cars and parts should be a little eaiser
