Default tc4

Im a nitro guy... and now i want to go electric, i was looking into some onroads... and i liked the tc4 because of the drive shaft instead of the belts.. my question is.. Is the tc4 too outdated? what is a good onroad car not to expensive..
Im thinking in a mamba 5700 or 7700 for the car later on (not too later tho)

Thanks

What do you mean by "they are expensive and weak"? You can find one on Ebay for around $100 used. My TC4 has taken a better beating then my Xray T2 has taken.

No the TC4 isn't outdated. If you are just bashing around a parking lot or just starting to get into the on-road racing the TC4 is a great to get started. And it is great in parking lots. I run a Mamba Max 7700 on a 2s 4900mah lipo and get about 30 mins of run time. Most hobby shops carry parts for the TC4 and there are alot of after market parts for it.

Is there a reason you like a shaft over belts? I won't comment on what I think is better, I'm just wondering why you don't like belts...

I'm running a TC3 and the hobby shop's are still carrying parts for that

I haven't really had any problems with it, only thing was when I bought it used it came with a cracked rear hub.

I have always been a fan of Team Associated. Building the kits really makes you appreciate the sheer quality that goes into the kit, and rivals the quality of (in my opinion) Xray for a much lower price.

As far as the TC4, I know the local hobby store in my area still carries parts for the TC4 and can order them as well (from what they told me).
