Well no-one here has raced the MTX-4 yet as our race season has finished. There is one guy that races a FW05-RR and it seemed quite quick but he was only in what we called our b-grade guys and he was about 4 laps off my pace in 6 minutes with the MTX-3 so i am not really sure but he does seem to like it.

Yokomo GT-4w was hot, but their time passed very quickly.
I'll plan to put on the track my new acquisition probably next weekend, probably I'll change my thinking, but one thing is for sure, for me (IMHO) the best car out there is a Mugen.

I still like the the FT tc3 it may be a little fragile but any car has the potential to brake if you crash. All of the local guys have switched to the mt3,4 but I still give them hell with my ntc3 the only thing that has change is those guys crash more because they believe the mugen is built like a tank.

I agree with Rookie Solara. The drivers that Kyosho have could win with any of the top cars. My guess is that they race for Kyosho because of $$$. Kyosho is one of the biggest RC companies in the world so they have the resources. Don't misunderstand me, I think the RRR is one of the best cars available but I prefer the 710. I think the quality of the Serpent is better than any other car and the adjustability is limitless.

Get what you like and what you can get parts for. They are all good cars.

You have debated this topic in a very intelectual way. I think the car you choose should e the one you have most experience with or someone you know has experience tunnig. In your case you will progress much faster if you jump into the FW05RR as the mechanics and setups will vary alot less than changing to a completely diff car. Plus you have the parts support. I like my FW05RR, not to be biased but it runs nicely up there with the other cars and where I run there are alot of fast people running every car you can imagine. In the A Main you may see Kyosho RRR, MTX3 & 4's, Associated and even Shumacher. And I dabble in the A main with them on my good days. I still need more time learning to tune my car, but the sweet spot is quiet large and my set-up right now varies little from track to track.
Good luck w/ the car you choose but it seems to me you know what you want and the posts are saying pretty much what you expected to hear.
Cheers,
Havy

GOOD LUCK NEXT SEASON EVERYBODY

Just don't get misleaded.......KYOSHO is not newbie, they were world champion when I was playing matchbox car (fantom series) They are 1 of the richest RC mfr in the world, of course, they can afford to send out a group of 20 plus TEAM/REGION Driver for the last year WORLD and get 7 (or 8..?) at the A-main....when you have more then 70% of the cars are from Kyosho, other chassis will have only 30% of chance to win....
Overall, if FW is what you want, that is the car for you........and FW is indeed a top ranked RC car by today standard, just a little older, but still competitive.

www.brooklynhobbies.com v one rrr wce 399.99. cant beat that. if your not lookin to spend much on engine, www.rc-toro.com get the os .12tz and pipe combo for 260. damn good 650bucks in my opinion. sorry if this was off topic but 399 v one rrr, worth posting
