Default Picked up a TC3 cheap

Is there anything right off that I should be fixing or modding? I noticed the steering binds a little bit. I just took off the assembly and enlarged the oval holes that slide on the bushings, seems fine now. Anything else?. Got the car as a roller and have a brushless kit for it. Can it handle decent power? Lastly, are these interchangeable with the other TC models? Thanks all!

TC3s can work with most TC4 parts, but that's it. Good luck with your AE car.

I picked up mine for cheap too. $60 with a newly painted GTR body outfitted with LEDs and a whole bag of springs, pinions, and spurs.

Mine is a Factory Team edition so it came with the FT shocks, sways, heatsink, aluminum prop, etc...I purchased aluminum drive cups and also an aluminum steering rack as well. I also put in Novak's 17.5SS BL system to compete in our TC class here.

My eventual plans once I'm done on-road racing is to convert it to a rally car or a drifter.
