Looking for touring class chassis
 

Let me come out and say it... I'm a newb. Totally (first post even). So I really have no clue what I'm looking for. So can I get some recommendations on touring chassis kits. I'm not a fan of the RTR knobs.

Bit of my selection:
I've got a solid buggy (Tamiya Baldre w/Mamba Max 5700kv and many other components). I've got a great basher (Traxxas Slash on Stampede wheels, looking at brushless upgrade for this one). Last one is a Duratrax Evader (bone stock, fun but the trx is better).

The two RTRs were my first... then I decided to go kit with the Baldre and wow, I'm glad I did. So now I'm looking for another kit (chassis only).

Chassis I've looked at so far:
- Hotbodies Cyclone
- Tamiya TT01
- Associated TC4

I prefer a kit without electronics if possible, but I can sell the extras if needed. I don't need carbon fibre but alum options would be nice. I'd like to set it up for both drift and grip racing.

Suggestions and recommendations are welcome.

tamiya TA-05, you can't go wrong with it for a belt driven chassis

unless you want a prop driven one, then go with the TB-02/03

I also recommend the TA05, It runs rings around the tt01 with no modifications on it. Its also got a lot of similarities with the Baldre / DB01 etc so you will have a good feel for it.

Top car with lots of available parts, its fast and almost indestructible

Thanks! I did find a Factory Team TC4 kit for a good price that I picked up. Still sealed in the box... should be a good build. Just gotta figure out a decent paint scheme for it.

Get in touch with Blitzboy on here...he could sort you out with a good paint scheme....checlk out his web page:

Yeah, Blitzboy does some fine bodies. I need to figure out my own style though. I'm thinking I may get one of the 190mm bodies from HB, just to do something totally different. Something without a wing would suit me just fine.

Warning. Wings on TC aren't just for fun :yawn: And anyway if you remove wing you'll have there ugly wing posts (they are ugly without wing).

And alloy parts aren't that great. It's true that alloy parts don't break, but others starts breaking (force is just moving to other parts - I have seen this problem many times).

i'm currently selling my BRAND NEW associated TC5 :)
