I have been out of r/c racing for about 6yrs. I am not sure which touring car to buy. The tc3 team or the IWC street weapon?

The TC3 Team is a LOT better. The only time I raced my TC3 Team with little experience driving it, I raced. It WAS dumb of me because I never knew how well these cars turn and how fast they are compared to off road! Well I raced usuing the stock set up because it was my first time at the track, how worse can it get? Never drove anything like a touring car, drive it on slippery carpet, and race with no experience at the track. Lets just say my driving was off and never finished a race. I only broke the front arms and stripped my servo, but I came in 5th overall (over like more than 20 people) I like car car ever since I got aluminum arms in the rear and this car is now INDESTRUCTABLE! I even drive it off ramps because im an off road guy, and have demolition derbies with my friends TC3. Oh by the way-3 of the cars that beat me were TC3's and 2 were Yokomos (they were all pros)

Marriage is the only war where you sleep with the enemy.

You must always push the limits. Because if you never fail, you will never succeed.

Cuss out the turn marshals because they cussed at you!!!

Crashing is an art of driving that goes bad in result in human or mechanical error.

The top speed of the TC3 is impressive. This one guy I met put an 8 turn motor into his TC3. Its speed is roughly 65 miles an hour at 56,000 RPM's. It had all kinds of sweet hop ups too.

Say...With an 8 turn motor, what pinion would that be?
