Tc3 is still a prefered car in the wet!, bung the cover over the top and go racing, with cars like mine it's all the electrics out and bung them all in water proof boxes.. pain in the arse and it really messes up the balance of the car.

I have a Tamiya TT-01 with an Audi RS4 shell.





A mate offered me his old car less all the running kit (motor, servo, receiver, speed controller etc.) as it had loads of alloy bits and some carbon so I took his arm off at the asking price. My Audi gained all the ballraces and alloy hop up parts. I was then left with a forlorn looking RX7 and a load of spare TT-01 bits. No surprise a shopping trip ended with it too being built up and converted to RWD.



I'm a child and I don't care
