hmmmm I want to enter the touring car part of R/C help me decide

Just send them over, I will help you out!

For racing racing, or the out doors?

Cyclone weak links (Just like ALL the TC's) Knuckles (front) and C hubs) Get a P dub bumper and that helps a TON!

Tires should last long out side messing around as long as you arent burning out the whole times
