Definitely get the TC4!!!!!!!!!!
It will not drive as well as the pro4 or t2. Sooo.......I can pass you easier
J/K...NOT.
It's a crying shame that the imports are better than the american made products(crying in my beer). The only one that seems to do well with the TC4 is BB. Just think how much more dominant he would be if he ran a T2 or Tamiya 415msx or Cyclone.
You say that most of your buddies drive TC4's...excellent. You will have a better handling car with the T2. Tc4 usually run a spool for best handling and that will cost a lot of parts breakage read $$$$ lost.
Pro /con
Tc4 pro
cheaper, parts everywhere
con
worst handling of the current crop of sedans in non superman hands. The single most important issue is handling for a racer imo. Associated just seems to be the beancounter sedan company.
Pro4 pro
great car handling and speed
con
some parts are priced too high(cvd's)
older design, replaced by cyclone in reality. Parts hard to find.
T2 pro
handles great and is built like a tank and very adjustible
con
parts are outrageously priced, springs ETC.
Tamiya 415msx refine2 pro
Handle great, Tamiya constantly tests AND upgrades THIS car (some are unhappy about what they see as constant upgrades). Marc Rheinhard won worlds and dominates with this car. Most cars are copying thIs cars design.!!!!!!!!!!
con
hard to get parts, some info that I want on internet is in Japanese
