TC3 'o' v2 any good?

BenG · #1 14-04-2006

Is it any good, I am thinking of buying one. I know Neil Cragg had one a while back, but not for long

nick oliver · #2 14-04-2006

From what i have seen others having one, they are not the best cars and could put you doing 4wd ofroad by having one

They mite be good cars if you been in sport for awhile and are really good with set ups but other wise i wouldnt bother sorry

You would be better going for a kyosho zx5? xx4? bj4? Nick.

jimmy · #3 14-04-2006

Thats gonna be the main problem, finding setups that work etc..I know its attractive if you have a TC3 but if you actually wanna do well at racing its probably better to try something else unless you really fancy it.

i had one it was crap it had the most bizzare handlind characteristics you have ever seen it went from grip to no grip corner to corner you had wrag the sh*t out it to get a decent time it wore tyres out at a stupid rate no matter what i tried it was cack

if i where you i would buy a lazer bj4 or a losi if you want something different have a x10 predator these are well proven cars with setups readily available and they work

ahh right, that was very, very definite. I have been racing a while, not doing to bad with electric and nitro TC's, but I don't know too much about leccy buggies, may have to buy a proper buggy. I live near Batley Buggy club, can I use it during the day?

nick oliver · #7 15-04-2006

I am sure you can If you became a batley buggy club member! wont cost much for year! Just check for Jimmy on this forum first tho as he will know best!

Oh, aye, you can go down any time mate. The members maintain the track and the membership / race fees pay for the rent on the land etc, so if you want to join it just shows you're willing to help out like.
There are a lot of kids down there, even more so now that they built a skate park near the track, bad idea!!!! so you get a lot of vandalism and bikes on the track sometimes, usually they will move off if you ask them, but this one little lass was a right arrogant little so and so on here pink bike..

despite repeatedly being asked, she just rode about anyway, with rich lowe fanging his bj4worlds around.

should have been chucked in the stream if you ask me.

tell me about it. The skate park would have been fine for skateboarders e.t.c who dont use the RC track as a a addition to the park, it's just the chav's it attracts that think that the rc track is meant for thier bikes. I think we should give em a bath in spen beck.

I think I am going to buy a FT B4, as they appear to be the dogs danglies in 2wd, and apperntly improove your TC racing/reactions

Richard Lowe · #12 28-04-2006

Batley Chav's seem a bit better than most (well less bad

), normally if you ask em' to shift they come and stand on the rostrum..

"ere, is that like pet rol mate, ave' got a Subaru one that does 100mph"

Can't wait till the national, Tom, Vermin and Me will be kicking the kids off the skate park to have a play :bom:
/Remembers to pack 3 spare B3 chassis

Bonus points to Jimmy for using the word 'fanging' :jimmeh

emzy · #13 28-04-2006

Where's there a skate park near Batley? Was it there in February and I just had my eyes closed? Although it was quite dark...

jimmy · #14 28-04-2006

probably was yea.. Ive not actually SEEN it ! but you can see where it is, right behind the sports centre
close to the track, but hidden by a fence

DCM · #15 28-04-2006

sounds like a good place for misfit juveniles, behind a fence where they can't be seen or do harm... shame it is a two way gate, so they can get back out again...

Richard Lowe · #16 28-04-2006

It's only small, there's a couple of quarter pipes and a tabletop with a grind rail (did I get my terminology right there?!

)
I reckon we'll get 20 feet or so of air off one of the quarterpipes :afro:

I'll have to get a new B$ ordered sharpish then so I have an old one to play with

DCM · #18 28-04-2006

Emz = Grandma Grammar..... or even Miss Spelling... pmsl...

Can't you read Emz... heehee

emzy · #19 28-04-2006

Meh. I've gotten over my grammar/spelling kick for a little while I think. Maybe it was just exam stress. If so, you're all in for an irritating May!

PS... grammAR dammit!
