I think the best car on the market right now if the new CRC with the 'Altered Ego' chassis. It is modern, up to date and has all the latest geometry on to suit European tracks. Contact Wim at AMC (
www.actionmodelcentre.co.uk) for prices and availability and make sure you ask for the Altered Ego chassis.
In-line cars are fine and suit some people well, but they are not as fast as the 'cells-across' cars. In every A Final now you will find the top drivers are using 'cells-across' cars. The CRC is strong and well made, and will go well straight out of the box. HTH
