Default TC advice

I live in France and after 5 years I discovered an awesome track 30 mins away

https://m.facebook.com/pages/SAM/547102022007575

It appears to cater for a lot of classes but looking at photos there is a lot of TC

I don’t have a TC - what’s the best TC car for both indoor and outdoor use?
What’s the most common shell?
Assuming the stock class is a 13.5 turn still

Assuming everyone will say X-ray and protoform but want to order one shortly so any suggestions of what the most ‘standard’ is for someone who is a little bit of a shit driver

Thanks

Hi,


My advice would be to visit / contact the club.


See what classes the run stock (10.5 / 13.5 etc.)


Also see what cars most people run. Always great to have help and support trackside.

Will do in the next couple of weeks. Thanks Mick

Am I right in thinking
Xray T4 20 is around 500
MI7 is a bit cheaper at 450
AE TC7.2 is discontinued so a new one will be out shortly

I am thinking a Xray T4 19 is probably the way to go.

Will keep an eye on the trading section

Thanks

You wont go wrong with a secondhand Xray no matter what year as they are bullet proof. Schumachers can be a bit fragile but go well. Associated will no longer be developing cars for on-road and parts will get scarce so I wouldnt recommend getting one.

What types of bodies do people use. I struggle to know the best online shop for premounts, shell . Seems all the old shops have gone down the pan which is really super sad
