Hows on road racing to off road? Totally different? Im thinking about buying an onroad TC like an HPI Pro3 or A TC3, do the cars handle well? How about on old asphault? and how fast does a TC go with a stock motor and sport batteries?(faster than my b3?) Im worried that it flip if i hit the slightest bump thats one reason ive stayed away...itd be alot fixing it... :cool:

Unlike off road cars, touring cars are pretty much planted on smooth surfaces... meaning there isnt a chance of flippin unless somehow you manage to... running your tc on old asphalt is a bit kinda ruff... cracks in the ground, patches of asphalt, possible pot holes, and plenty of pebbles... all this can make a tc unstable and not preferable or suitable as a running surface... with a stock and sport batteries, you do get decent speed and run times... but you can always upgrade :cool:

I have a TC3, I run on old ashpalt and I use sport batteries and a stock motor. It goes realy fast for what I am using in it. I serioulsy doubt you will flip it over. I go over speed bump (very mild ones) and it just gets a little air and bottoms out when I land. they handle very well but on old asphalt the will slip and slide all over the place.

Its doing great. the countersinking isnt the greatest in the world so the screws are taking the brunt of it. I have scraped the annodizing off some of the screws but its mainly just just minor scratches. So far I have not broken anything thanks to the foam bumper.
