Almost everyone has, at one time or another, run a TC3/TC4/NTC3. The information is abundantly available. Heck, at one time last year, Conner and I had nine fully functioning TC3/4/Nitros. The TC5 is a completely different platform.
I'm not saying a question won't/can't be answered by a fellow racer regarding a specific chassis. But, it's more valuable to see another car and 'hold it' to compare it to your ill-handling car, not to mention someone else having spare parts to share/sell at the track in a pinch.
That said, the question MNPete is asking needs to be more detailed:
What is the budget?
What classes do you want to run?
How competitive do you want to be?
How much time are you willing to invest at home AND at the track working on setup in between heats?
Are you looking for new or used?
How easily do you want to find consumable parts for it?
Do you care if you are the only chassis from that brand at the track?
