Shaft driven 1/10 touring car.

Hello everyone. Im after some advice as I'm pretty new to the touring on road side of things. Im after a 1/10 touring car for general bashing and casual racing, for my application would shaft driven be better as I don't know much about the durability of belt driven cars on tarmac and areas with some small bits of debris. Any suggestions or advice would be much appreciated. I don't mind if it is a roller or in kit form. Thanks

If you like to build, a tb-04 kit may be nice and not completely wipe out your wallet (sadly not many kits nowadays)

 

If you want a good looking entry level rtr, vaterra v100 or kyosho fazer ve series have very nice body shells

Kyosho are known for terrible part support in this country,only part in having trouble in getting for the V100 is the camber kit but that's an optional extra if you want to fine tune it, I fitted a Tamiya TT01 toe kit on the front, only adjustments I need for tarmac bashing and it handles beautifully but I'm cheating a bit with a gyro fitted, makes it driveable. I spent

I would get a TT02 over a TT01. Its a good little platform. It's not as racy as the Tc4 is more race ready but the TT02 is much more versitile.

you can also make it pretty good at the track over time (although its not a cheap option)

Yep, the TT02 Type S will be out soon, it will be better than the TC4 and parts will be easily available. (It doesn't come with a shell, but it comes with TRF suspension arms adjustable turnbuckles, oil shocks and bearings (it also inludes a motor, although I do not know if the Eu version will have a ESC included.

I never actually got on with the TC4. The TC3 was a great chassis, and still is quite capable in the right hands. The TC4 was never really seemed to be as good (Or maybe others just caught up quicker). I remember the diffs needed a lot of attention, and the plastic axles would smash even if they looked at a corner marker.

 

The TT02S combines the best of the TT02 (efficient, light and robust drive train), and it also has the TRF / TA05ifs suspension, which is strong and handles well.  Parts are also easy to get).

I wouldn't call an all-plastic drivetrain robust. Light, yes. Efficient? With bushings coming as stock? Nope.

 

You do need to fit bearings on the TT02, however The TC4 also came with bushings when it was released.
