Well, I guess your choices are not mine. I am a big Losi fan and will pick a XXXS G+ over those choices anytime. Between the ones you listed it hurts me to say but Iwould go with the TC3. I like using standard tools instead of metric.

Metric IS the standard tools - around here...

I would go for:

1: A car with good local support.
2: A solid car.

Both Losi and TC3 are know for easy breaking.

To be accurate, there aint any Losis at our track, just referring what I often read in this forum. About the TC3's: They break very often at our track. Two things: The kind of boards do a difference, and most of us have had our first-time It takes a while to be so good, that you dont touches the boards at all

well I wish I could keep completely off the boards. I am not that good. Just wanted to say that we are not seeing anymore broken parts from the Losi than any other brand. People here are running Xray, TC3, losi, HPI, some Traxxas (mostly in novice), and a couple Yoks.
