Looking for opinions

[highster]

What is the best TC on the market right now? I have a customer looking for three touring cars, and wants something durable with good parts support. My first recommendation was X-ray, but he isn't sold after owning a T2 in the past. I'd like to hear opinions from owners of multiple brands, not just I saw opinions.

thanks,
Tom

How much is he willing to spend and does he want a new TC or used TC?

[kyoshoracer]

Has he looked at the AE touring cars, I had one of the TC6.2 for a while and it was a pretty good car.

[highster]

He is a money is no object buyer, but would consider used. But really hates the AE chassis. Currently he is considering a Serpent S411.

If he is looking for an good RTR electric touring car I would go with Kyosho EP Fazer Aston Martin DBR9 ReadySet. A good Kit would be the Serpent 747. The XRAY T4 2014 EU is also a good kit. has he looked in at any Yokomo kits?

[highster]

He has owned X-ray, and just didn't like it, I have know idea why, as I bought it from him and love it. And really looking so much at rtr, but just good quality.

He should try the Yokomo cars? have you raced those before?

[kyoshoracer]

Has he looked at the Hot Bodies, Schumacher, HPI, Vaterra,Team Durango, Team Magic, ARC there are so many good ones to chose from.

[highster]

We have, unfortunately the Vaterras have little to no adjustment, Team Durango, although a good overall product, their parts support is, quite possibly the worst I have ever seen. And the Hot Bodies looks like a nice car, but the cost is more than an Xray or Serpent. We haven't really looked at the others you mentioned, but will take a look before. Thank you for the advice.

You should look in at the Yokomo on road cars.

Which car did he end up getting?

[highster]

Serpent s411, Xray T4, and an AE TC6.1, he loved the TC6.1, sold the others, and ordered two more.

The Serpent s411 is a very nice off road car to race.

[kyoshoracer]

I am looking to get a TC, what do you guys think of the AE?

[highster]

Personally I really like the Xray cars, but have heard and read lots of good about the Serpent s411. Another car I have and run is a Thunder Tiger TS4e. I have to say, just out of the box it maybe on of the best cars I've owned. As far as handling and predictability. It is far from a true high competition car, but at a club level I would think it would be competitive. The key to any TC is set-up and practice.
