It’s usually the selection of car and support equipment for your selected car. I’ve got a new TC on the shelf, NIB but no local drivers in the class. I run GT8 but know I’ll have to get tire truer/smaller starter box/fuel gun/setup gear etc. The class looks fun and some areas are now a bit of a challenge for my GT8.
You’ll soon have some more advice on the topic but my comments come from someone looking from ‘the outside’ with the same concerns about ‘how to make it work’.
Select your ‘brand’ and then get into their thread on RCTech for guidance.
(my kit is a Shepard and will be a solid race brand but support is what I will have to put together because of no ‘local’ action)
‘Nitro TC is awesome, ENJOY’. 😎

My local shop support NT1 and Mugens. I probably will get an NT1 because the owner and runs it.
But as if the engines, they don’t have engines in stock so it is pretty much a free fall.

Nitro onroad is always what I love to watch. And I want to see it coming back. Not sure if new racers will make a difference but I will give it a try. Thanks Jerry!
