Associated TC5-R build

[Bondonutz]

Hey, The TC5 is a awesoms handleing car, I like it's chararcteristics much better than the TC4 Team cars I've had. It's quieter and seems to be able to put the power down a little better. With the way the chassis is designed to flex I beleieve it helps tons for traction.

My car has ben sitting for the last few weeks after I got it all back together. I plan on hitting a new indoor track one of these days that they built about 40miles away from home. I may start running it there ?

I ran it at the oval races, the first night out it got trashed ! The guys out there really drive like BONZIs, wreckless and never let off the gas. The heats were a mess, the guys out there are really rough on cars. Half way through the main I got bumped and hit by 4-5 other racers and I was out. Damage was 2 broken shocks, control arm, C-hub, bent sway bar and 50.00 worth of mangled foam tires. I'm NOT going to be racing my TC5 out there again till those jackasses settle down some. Sorry to sound like a baby but I have $700.00+ invested in this car and it's not meant for crash up derby style racing. I'll stick with my Slash Oval racer instead, it's tougher and cheaper.
