what upper deck are you refering to that if i have that upper deck...

my car will not flex as much??

please help out.....

do you have a picture to show me??

thanx
The optional upper deck extends right to the rear of the front steering sevro mount. The mount is changed as well. The car effectively becomes zero flex. If you press on the damper plate point of the original chassis you will find that the front springs compress only a little and the first thing to touch the ground is the middle of your chassis. With the upper deck the front springs fully compress and the front of the chassis touches the ground first! I'll see what I can do about posting a picture of it!

They must be around 6 years old. Both are in fairly good shape but my DTM is really in need of 1 front drive shaft. I found that the olds off the Tech Racing T10 can fit. The XK buggy I bought second hand..... I believe it use to be the ex-demo model from Mong Kok Model Shop!

Traxxas don't have good racing result in US. All they have is good sales. Traxxas have huge distribution network, so their sales is good. 4 TEC is not their hot seller, but T-maxx is.

I have worked on my client's 4 TEC once, and I also test drove it on the track. This car is OK for someone who just want to play around on the streets or parking lots. If you want to race it on the track, I am sure you will be blown by all the latest nitro cars now.

You still have a chance to win with the 4TEC if:
1. All other drivers are very novice.
2. You escape from a huge pile up at the first corner and you are 2 or 3 laps ahead of everyone.
2. All other cars have radio problems.
4. You are Masami or Brian Kinwald.

I am not stopping you from buying the 4 TEC, but I want to let you know that your money can buy something else that are more worthy.

Well maybe you have a good point.

You know why all the other cars like serpent mtx2 have good results?
Its because they have the Masami or Brian Kinwald to drive their cars.
I've read through RCCA for quite a while and nobody ever said that "This is the champion car, even a 3 year old kid can win with it!"
Its the driving skills that matters, all knows. I can bet you if David Jun takes his TA04 here, he'll take the champion in HK.
I'm not trying to put on a fight here. Thats just something I noticed since I started RC.
I don't think getting a 4-tec is a stupid move if I wanna race.
I will also look into the rcca mags to pinpoint and tell you that Traxxas nitro 4-tec is capable of winning, or at least getting a prize in the races
