At our club Tamiyas are the most popular. TRFs and TA05's

Ta05's can be picked up very cheap, and one regularly competes for FTD (We race on a small circuit, on indoors carpet 13.5t). TT01's are not very good though so don't get one of those.

X-rays are also popular, a good car, they can be expensive for spares.


Schumacher's and associated are almost extinct now as they spend most of the time on the bench as they seem prone to breaking.

Basically most are good.

Tamiyas seem to be winning at our club as they are quick and don't seem to break. (note about 3 years ago there were no Tamiyas at our club, everyone kinda thought of them as a toy brand, but then a few appeared, and now it has become the popular make).

We share spares but in 9 months of racing my 417 I have broken a C hub (£5) and it hasn't even worn out the drive shaft protectors. Marvellous car
