I see that Marc Rhienart drives one also What differences are there between the Link Car and teh T-Bar Car. Like driving differences and such. Im really into 1/10th sedan, but wanting to venture over into 12th!
Great choice. The CRC 3.2R is an awesome car. The fit and finish is great and I found that my Knife tends to be more nimble and quick in the turns than my T-Fource. The t-bar car seems a bit more pushy, which can be good sometimes, but like all t-bar cars, much more fragile.
One of the nicest things about the Knife is the cell configuration and the O-Ring! The solid 4 cell pack is easier to handle than split saddle packs and the O-ring works great. The o-ring holds the cells very solid and only the most severe head-on crashes can cause them to move. I have had severe crashes that totally destroyed the tape on my other cars, so tape is not 100% either. Besides, the 3.2R has area to use tape as well.
Most of the cars out there are pretty good, I like the CRC stuff because they really are into 1/12th scale, always making new and improved items, pushing the envelope. They make their own parts, the hubs, bulkheads, front end parts, shock, etc... unlike many of the other manufactures who are nothing more than a graphite plate sprinkled with Associated, CRC and IRS parts.
