Hey gang,
After a few years, well more like 6 or 7 years now that I think about it,
away from the RC car hobby I've decided to get back into it.
Anyhow, all the gear I have is pretty much outdated junk. Understandably..
the good old RC10 has evolved a lot since I last ran it.
I always hated the battery ordeal. I have at least 20 battery packs. I
wanted to just run run run and not worry about it.
So now I want to get a nitro car. I want to get one of the RTR packages.
The TC3, RS4, or Tec 4. I'm looking at the Traxxas 4 Tec. The main feature
that caught my interest is the electric starter built-in. It looks like you
connect a battery to it externally and it spins the engine to life. Sure
sounds good on paper.
Anyone have any feedback on this car? Another thing I didn't like was
putting the damn things together or painting. I'm not creative. I just
like driving the damn things.
Then a followup question would be the differences between shaft drive and
belt drive. All my previous cars where rear wheel drive so I never had to
deal with belt drive.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
