How much can you spend? Why is this never stated as it's almost always the most important piece of information we need to make recommendations.
If you don't have a budget then I'd suggest either the TC5R or TRF416, full carbon fiber and aluminum and definitely brushless compatible.</p>

If i choose Tamiya, what series are good? TT01 is old series?
Is it TA05 latest version?

Are you gong to race or just run this around in your neighbourhood for fun? If racing then I would go with the TA-05R, if you're just having fun then the TB-02.

RE: Looking for good 1/10 Touring car Kit
The reason I ask is because the TA-05 uses a belt drive which can get debris in it if you're just bashing on city roads. It's really meant for a prepared track.
I'd suggest the TB-02 w/ a novak or CC brushless system. The TB-02 has a huge amount of parts and hop up support.
Just remember that most kits don't come with electronics (radio, esc, servo or motor) but some may depending on the kit so read what is required carefully.</p>

I have radios allready. My plan is get Kit for those reason.Neverwant RTR.
And Motor/esc to hobbycityCheap and good motor some...
I drive only asvalt, so is it TB-02 only good choise?
And all steering links must upgrade toalloy soon as possible. I want sharp steering response. Standart parts are usually sloppy mostly cars(or what that word is)

Have a look at the Tamiya TB03. Apparently a few improvements over the TB02.

They say the tb03 is just a ta05-isf, but with a shaft instead of a belt.
I'd say go with a tb03. It's more durable against rocks, debris, etc, than a belt drive (because it's got a shaft). The inboard front suspension is also something to look at. Pretty nifty. But if the area you're just messing around is pretty clean, I'd say go with a ta05 or ta05 isf (running around 200 us dollars) then throw in a brushless sucker. Slap in a lipo and you've got yourself a nitro killer, too

Holy Hell, you cant be serious at "Here that cost about 350-400€= 490-560dollars".
Ive bought TA05 from RC Mart. TB03 from RC Mart and another TB03 from RC Market. RC Mart add on Credit card charges, so avoid if you can buy elsewhere. But 350-400euros is highway robbery.
Try RC Market. I bought the TB03 Amemiya from them. No credit card charges. I bought the TB03 Takata from RC mart as RC market does not stock it.
Cheers
