Looking for a new r/c

[Skyline Racer]

Yep, The time has come to change classes for awhile. I was looking at digital liquids gallery and i saw the supra.. i really like the design and i thought it would be cool to have a 1/10 gas sedan. Please give me some suggestions on a car thats fast, upgradeable, and cool... thanks

I think most will first recommend the Associated Nitro TC3. That seems to be one of the better laid out chassis and has just tons of upgrades. It's a class performer if you do decide to race. I have an HPI Nitro RS4 3. It's a good basher and fun to run. It also has a lot of aftermarket parts which can really squeeze some performance out of it. There are certainly many others. But that's the only experience I can speak from. I'll let the guys with the other cars chime in here....

You could go with the Mugen MTX3 and not have to worry about upgrading a damn thing.
It just so happens I have one with only 5 tanks through it I'm trying to sell.
Do some research.

I will have to go w/ the candyman on this one. I bought the NTC3 and it is a blast. Coming from a MT background (T-Maxx, Savage), I will say that touring cars are a totaly different species. I was sceptical to get one, but after I did, that's all I've been driving lately. So my vote would be for the NTC3. It's definitely fast and upgradeable if you want.

I've only seen and ran w/ other NTC3 and a CT4-S, so my opinion is a little biased. But there are several other good cars out there. BTW, thanks for the props on the supra.

I agree with Eddy. The MTX-3 or Serpent 710 are two top cars u can go with , but the kits do cost a few $$$. If budget is an issue then I suggest the TC3

I would snatch that car from fasteddy no need to hop it up & if you decide to go racing you have that right car a lot of folks hop up there car & spend a lot on bling.bling, items that really do not help the car & then after you add it all up you can have bought an mtx,710,kyosho,r40 top racing cars & get more out of them

I have the NTC3 as well as a Serpent710. Both are great cars but they have their differences. The NTC3 is shaft driven as opposed to the 710's belt system.

The NTC3 is a great car. It allows the driver to grow with the car, to a point of course. Tee adjustability of the suspension, transmision and hop ups are great. It can be used as both a parkinglot basher as well as a contender for racing. I have done both.

The Serpent710 is a great car as well. Out of the box, it's performance does surpass the NTC3 as far as agility and handeling are concerned. There are so many adjustments to make on this car to make it perform according to your driving style as well as track conditions (DRS, roll center, suspension, shock dampening positions). Of course, it will overwhelm you and as with anything else, do one thing at a time. Generally they say that the 710 is made for a more "advanced driver." I think this is true if you are going to race but in reality, this car is for the more patient driver. As I said, there are so many settings to do on this car. Very few hop ups since the car comes with a 4mm chassis and almost everything is either plastic or carbon fiber.

The MTX-3 is going to prove to be the "faster car" out of the box for those of us that like to build then race. I have seen quite a few of them at the track, including Team17's. Great performers. I just can't give a more in-depth description since I don't have one. As far as I can tell, another great car. Just not as many adjustments to overwhelm you with.

If this is going to be your first car AND you plan to just bash it in the parking lot. I would suggest the NTC3. As I said, it will allow you to grow with it. IF you want to get a higher end car, then I would suggest the MTX-3 but be forewarned, parts are pretty hard to find at your LHS. On-line shopping will be your best friend. The Serpent710 is a great car as well but can be a handfull trying to master, but just as the MTX-3, these 2 cars are definite performers.

As far as the HPI on-roads, I don't own one so I can't give any accurate information.
