Rustypeb89 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Hi all, so have been thinking more and more that I would like to get back in to racing at some point and was wondering if my old team associated tc4 would still be any good? I need to buy all new electronics as well so not sure if it's worth doing for my old car or just get something newer? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipwell Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Its not going to be the most competitive car out there but itl be a good starting point until you can afford a better model. Dont be tight when you buy the electrics, get something good that is going to last and be competitive, then when you are ready for a new chassis you can just swap the lot over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustypeb89 Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Thanks, sounds like a good idea. Just need to find a local club now and see what they run, any surgestions on what to look at electronics wise? Used to always race in the stock class and would probably want to do the same now.

hipwell Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I've been running a hobbywing 2.1 120a for the last 3 years and its an excellent bit of kit and can be picked up cheap now. Extreme stock is also a good cheaper version of mine. It will be great for running blinky or boosted. I run 13.5 boosted and its never skipped a beat. Motor wise I also reccomend the turnigy trackstar 13.5, fantastic motor which is easily competitive with the big names for a fraction of the cost. 20 quid allturn USA servo and you'll have a great setup which will compete. Couple it all with a turnigy 6000 2s hardcase lipo and for not much over 100 quid youl be ready to race. I'm not saying those are the best options out there but its what I would go with as a minimum. Go too cheap and you will find yourself wanting to upgrade in a few months. And then when the time comes get yourself a good chassis. I recently picked up a tamiya trf419 for £130 and its absolutely fantastic. Easily keeps up with all the top drivers at my 2 clubs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
