I need help everyone, after the third week in a row I'm tired of breaking my TC3. I'm trying to decide between the XXX-S, the corally C4.1, or the RS4pro 3. any insight, experiences, or what ever is appreciated, even the opinions of the magazine guys would be a great help, thanks everybody!!! :)

I have heard that the TC3 is a very durable car. First, you should explain to us what you are breaking, and how you are breaking it.

If you are breaking your TC3, then you'll break any car. Learn to drive. It's not the car, it's you.

I personally prefer the XXXS. It looks like a very fast & tight design.

Before anyone can make a recommendation, you need to pony up some more info on whats busting. If you are breaking A arms you will be out of luck on almost anything you get - the a arms break on almost any TC and consistently more often on 4wd cars than on 2wds. Sounds like you've probably got a little too much affection for the pipes at this point :) Ease up on the throttle and learn what the car will and won't do, run a dozen packs through it and progressively get on it harder.. you'll get there.

well, it seems like its a new part each week, not so much a-arms but the parts bolted to them. hub carriers, cvd's, etc... enough to put me out of the race.(going through a long sweeper I caught the board with my tire and ripped the hub out of the carrier breaking it in two) Don't get me wrong, the TC3 is an awesome touring car but 20 bucks in replacing parts a week has just gotten to me. I don't doubt that my driving skills aren't up to par(I race rookie electric) but I've driven it on a weekly basis for almost a year now. I mainly want a sturdier car untill my driving skills improve, sorry if i offended anyone

like the other guys said, any car will break those parts, You just need to learn to drive alittle better. I run a TC3 and I had the same problem until I learned how to drive it. Occassionally you have to let off the throttle. Good luck ;)
