ntc3...they own all

Either a LD3 PRO or a NTC3. If your on a budget, buy a HPI RS4 SS KIT, the ss is a good starter.

ld3 looks good but is there any hopups out?

 

[Akina'sMtx-2]

Id go for the LD3....

 

[agm130]

Go with the NTC3, I think its the most popular car in the price range, and there are plenty of hop-ups for it.

K-factory make some of the best parts for the NTC3. Do a search on Ebay for NTC3, and Nitro TC3

 

[kwong2001]

thing that turns me off about ofna is parts availability. There is none around here..ntc3 is popular so people know a lot about it...

The NTC3 has a ton of hopup's, this I can tell you.. As for others, I'm not absolutely sure. But most will have a selection. I've only got to see one NTC3 and it was hopup's out the ying yang. lol

 

[Smurfola212]

I would vote NCT3 :normal:

The LD3 is a very nice car for the price. Get the 2 Speed and you will NOT be dissapointed. The problem is that its so new there are very few hop-ups available. Those that are can only be gotten either driectly from Ofna or from an Ofna Auth Dealer.

The NTC3 has been around alot longer and therefore there are alor more aftermarket parts available. It also seems to be a very popular car at the races I've seen video on on the net.

Get a Mugen MTX-3. It's so much more solid all around than a NTC3. You'll break something the first time you hit the boards with a NTC3.

 

[imnotsure]

lets talk motor size .21+

 

[brianlt]

I use .12's in my touring cars. I think Schumacher is the only one who puts a .21 in there touring car. You'd be surprised how much power a high performance .12 can produce. Much more than you can actually use.

I Have a Picco Red Hat .12 in my LD3 and it will spin the tires off the starting line if I'm not carefull. Once I went to Foam tires this was drastically reduced but I have to be carefull in a turn or the rear will still break loose on accelleration.

You have to remember how light the on-road cars are. .12 or .15 is all you really need. If you get a high performance .15 you will almost definitly need to change out your gearing to make use of all that power.

.21s and .25s are fine for trucks as some of them are like 15-20 pounds with all the titanium and aluminum hopups people use. But most On roads are less than 10Lbs.
