I go to their website every so often to check if they are releasing a new nitro tc-3 no word That is too bad because the car is not really that bad it just needs a few updates to really be compeitive.

I remember hearing, maybe a year ago, that they were developing a belt drive nitro car. Don't know if there was any truth to that, was just a rumor.

I got tired of waiting for Associated to come out with a new NTC-3 so I made my own with a big Block .28 and 1/8 scale tires for traction.

They should have one in 2009 summer because 2010 -- 200mm nitro World Race will be held in USA.

hmmm and if there like all the rest it wont be available til after the worlds for like 3 to 5 months and by then the nitro onroad season is over and we will have to wait til spring just to break in the car .......................

If Associated does make a new 1/10 scale nitro on road I kinda doubt that it will be as revolutionary as the first. The TC-3 was the first shaft driven 1/10 scale nitro onroad I ever saw with hardly any rolling resistance. It had a few minor problems which associated failed to address . I guess there next car if they make one will be belt I wish they would just fix the minor problems and beef it up a little bit more. I liked the NTC-3 because it was shaft drive and different than all the other onroads which were belt..

i heard it was supposed to be called the ntc5 something like an xray nt1 with colors of an electric tc5. i dont know if this is true...just rumors.

Assiciated hasn't announced anything and when viewing the web site, they don't even list the NTC3 anymore. I have also heard a rumor that they were building a belt driven car that was in development about a year and a half ago. nothing new has been said in so long, I would think that they might have scrapped it.

RCFoolz , Associated still list the NitroTC-3, it is listed under kits and rtr's. But it looks like associated is focusing all their efforts on the SC8 Short Course truck at the present time.
