the tc3+ is a great starter car for nitro. the motor is not over powering and it has a nice feel. and not to much $. around $315 US for a rtr. i still have mine (just with a bigger motor now)

Would it be your first nitro car? If not, then you are probably fine. The TC3 is a good car for sure. They have that car in electric also I believe.

Yes it would be first nitro and a first nitro car and thay don't make an electric version if you want an electric one you would have to get the new TC4. What out of all of the elctric ones would be the best thanks.

The TC4 is very close, just better.

Basically it's always a big war between Losi and Associated. So every year or two, they upgrade their cars to have a 'newer' version. They usually include better parts, etc.

You can't go wrong with the TC4. If you are looking to race, I'd almost suggest a electric over nitro, because that way you can spend time working on getting the car set up. Getting everything adjusted like you like, and fixing parts when needed, all without having to worry about keeping an engine tuned.

But, if you have friends that are getting into nitro, or you really just want to do it, then go for it. Just know that you'll spend a lot more time tuning the engine, and getting it running, then if you have an electric.

it does take some practice. I have owned nitro for years, and still kinda suck at it. Nitro is cool, and sounds cool, and refule and go.. but with all the good comes some bad, and pulling that cord and having no idea why it wont start can be frusturating.
