Well when you guys get online you'll see that the TC02 into TC02C conversion kit is finally out and I wouldn't be at all surprised if they have sold all 30 kits in stock by tomorrow. I love the Team C cars the 2wd has been constantly upgraded since it came out and is now pretty much as strong or stronger than any other 2wd buggy, they are certainly made from VERY stiff carbon, the car as a whole is absolutely miles stiffer than any non factory team B4.
I love Associated cars too and have at least 5 of them and xfactory and kyosho and pretty much anything RC. But right now I'm into budget go fast. I'm not really into bashing one company or another or saying someone copied someone else because evolution is all about taking one idea and changing it slightly, sometimes it works better than the last sometimes not. Mid motored conversions have been around since the original RC10 days so everyones "'copied"" someone. But again the original Team C car when you compare it to a B4 or even the RB5 is quite different in person.
This car may or may not end up to be as good as the X6 but the standard car can be stupidly fast in the right hands and a match for the B4 (once you get a decent diff in it) so time will tell. I think everyone should be excited for all the young kids that are driving madrats at your local clubs will finally be able to get a clear body and a custom paint job and a mid motor conversion to go with it. Maybe they will love the way mid motored cars drive so much that one day when they get older and have more money they will buy a B4 and a Xfactory conversion?

it's all good news for the hobby so everyone should peace out and relax

lol surely I'm making a very sensible point here

?
Here's a picture of the kit if anyone want's to see it as it is finished, it's $55 USD retail but would be much cheaper than that through a big HK based shop.
