Joel, the current TC's have become "Race Only" also... Yea, they will hook up better on a parking lot because of the AWD but the surface is going to destroy your $450 toy.... Except for the RTR TC4 and a Tamiya or 2 it's going to cost you at least $700 for a 10th scale TC these days. That's on the low side if you're not going with top of the line electronics....
