I was actually looking at a nitro 4-tec several days ago. A guy at my LHS got a used one and I was looking it over. The whole upper deck would need to be rebuilt, but not a bad little car from what I could see. And the belt was off to the side giving plenty of room in the middle for stuff. But, I figured I'd get more opinions before I go hunting for one.

I have been looking for a nice TC4 also but they are kinda hard to find nice ones for the cheap. In fact I was shopping the TC5 simply b/c the part support would be easier and they seem to come way down in price. I want a 100+ mph sedan too.

As far as maitanance I dunno, but for speed they are soooo capable of over 100 with MM and 4s!! I wanna but its going to have to wait till after the 8ight.

Hey Brian, if you want a nitro 4tec I have one with a bunch of parts that you can have cheap...

I would say that it will make a decent conversion. I also llike the tamiya tt01 chassis. Thise are super strong, even though they have plastic diffs with metal internals. I had one do 75mph repeatedly with no wear to the drivetrain.

I like my TA-04. Carbon chassis, took a curb head on @ 45mph or so and live to race on.

I might hit you up on that 4tec. I had one Tamiya and it seems their support life-cycle for parts is pretty limited. Traxxas carries stuff forever it seems.

I'm still trying to decide what I want more: a MT/truggy or a smaller onroad. Probably after the holidays when finances settle down before I know either way. Mike has sucked my wallet dry the last month - but it's a good thing.
