do NOT get a link car for running on asphalt, they cannot handle it. If I was going to buy a t-plate car right now I would be looking at the T-fource or maybe a 12l4
Actually, the Speedmerchant Rev.4 is a VERY good asphalt car, and Rheinhard and Groskamp both put CRC CARPETKNIVES into the A-Main at the IFMAR Worlds, which was an asphalt race as well. The days of the "T-bar cars work better on Asphalt" are now officially over. There were three "T-bar free" cars in the main at the most prestigious On-Road race on Earth.

If you're dead set on getting a T-bar car for Asphalt, I'd get a Kawada, Xenon or Yokomo, as they are designed for asphalt racing and come with "flexi" chassis to increase bite. Of course you could just get a Rev. 4 and tune your car with the suspension, rather than chassis flex..............
