yeah man, the good thing about on road tourers is theres a bunch of them at the top that all seem very close on pace and the only difference comes down to driver, setup and the car actually suiting the driver, Xray, losi, tc3, venom, corally, schumacher and tamiya are all on the pace and probably more than i have mentioned, what it will come down to is budget, though they arent too different in price and ur driving style and ability to get spares, and if u know people running the same car, that way, its a lot easier to get a staring point for setups too.
Of course, if u race what most, or a lot of people do, then u cant have a car advantage over them, only perhaps a setup and/or driver advantage, thats why i drive a schumacher cat 3000 in off road, cos most other racers are driving the losi's, so what am i saying, i prefer to go the underdog if i can, cya
