Stealth 1/10 tc

[Paulnuneaton]

guys have you seen the new stealth 1/10th tc car that comes in at a very sensible price. this is a move between a mardave and top tc cars you can see the pictures on www.rccircuitcars.com under general chat its made in the midlands and i think this is going to be a real middle range tc car

What class does this fit into? GT10 / World GT? (Edit: nope, those use foam wheels). It can't be a touring car, those must have independent suspension on all wheels. The most similar car I can think of is the Tamiya F103 GT.

Nice idea and design, looks like it could be a good club car depending on the price. It doesn't look like their is any side damping on the rear unless their is a t-bar hidden in there somewhere... I have to agree though it's only rival is the F103GT.

Price is slated for £149.99 - I presume that's for the kit.

The trouble I see with that, is the Schumacher Mi1 (the re-released Mission) is cheaper, and is actually a touring car. There are also quite a number of 2wd tourers out there now too - FF03 and Sabre come to mind, both FWD.

I know too little of the scene to judge, it might gain a following. I can see it appealing to Mardave enthusiasts.

Its going to be a between car 1 up from a dave and just below a full blown tc. the guy who is building these cars is doing a great job something british so im thinking that this car will get loads of support just watch this space!!!!

T 'Flex' System
Utilising a traditional T-bar set-up in conjunction with adjustable shock absorbers aids traction and cornering speed. Firm set-up for high grip tracks and soft set-up for low grip tracks.

No disrespect intended but that looks like the nearest thing I've ever seen to a model car that wont work - on any level.

It's gonna be a pig to drive, have you ever tried a rwd car on 24mm tc tyres - no grip or traction whatsoever even for brushed.

No races/classes for it - nuff said - therefore no market.

The chassis design is like nothing else out there. There is no need for two expensive longitudinal dampers but there is a need for a lateral one. If it was meant to be cheap and easy then why not go for a friction damper like the old rc12/ corallys et al?

I genuinely wish the maker all the best of luck with it.
