Thanks for all the comments.

While TOP, Robitronic, Schumacher and I'm sure others all make fine cars (I loved my Schumacher CAT off-roader back in the day) I've tried to narrow it down based on my completely subjective opinions, a good portion of which is based around ability to get parts and help somewhat locally.

For most of the asphalt based TC racing in the bay area, is it foam or rubber tire-wise?

Are any of the chassis better suited to stock vs. mod? (ie. any particular chassis better than another at lower vs. higher speeds)

For any of the cars (TC5, T2 '08, Cyclone TC) are there "short lists" of upgrade parts that I should just build with right off the bat?

Looking through the Cyclone TC on-line manual, it lacks a setup guide similar to Xray's, or even the limited setup guide that Associated offers. Is there a setup guide for the Cyclone TC?

Thanks.
