i think that if i got the tc3 and put the 2 speed in it, it would out do the stock rs4 3 ss.. am i correct?

KyleSch

The HPI SS and AE .12 engines have similar horsepower so it would probably be pretty close.

You misunderstood. I say any car (belts or shaft) are good for racing. I am also saying that belts or shaft are good for parking lot and belts are not that bad for parking lot.

The potential of shaft is not there for gearing purposes that is why more companies does not adopt to this setup.

KyleSch

ok

I just say that belts are bad for parking lot from the area around me, there is alot of gravel, my RS4 2 wouldn't last more than a few minutes without getting jammed. Maybe my streets are more "gravelly" than most

Such a broad, general statement.

Define "out do"

you are talking about the 2-speed, so I assume you mean top speed. Why is everyone so obsessed with top speed. I mean, sure, its cool, but its not useful, really.

Anyway, I have never seen any reliable source indicate how fast an RTR NTC3 would be with a 2-speed in it, but I have seen reports of a stock SS doing 46mph. I would be surprised if an RTR NTC3 with a 2-speed would do much more than that.

This question is getting beaten to death. Just go look at the cars and see which one you like better.

Pick one, tc3 (nitro), nitro rs4 3 ss, schumacher fusion

WhiskyVR-4

I wouldn't buy the Fusion because I want to be able to race this thing once I get it sorted out. I have the SS and its got some wierd power issues.

I would buy the NTC3, but its going to cost more to buy a NTC3 Team kit and an engine.

ok a few questions about the ntc3, does the side exhaust kit come witht he maifold and pipe? does it come with the 2 speed? thank you

i just fly heli's so take this for what it's worth:

my heli runs with a 0S 32sxh engine. it has both a shaft drive(main rotor) and a belt drive(tail rotor). they both can be set up to give you SCREAMING speed and torque. the rc car manufacturers use belt drives mainly for two reasons(both of these reasons are cost effective for the manufacturer).

1. belt systems are much easier to engineer

2. belt systems are much easier to manufacture.

just thought i'd jump into a different forum for a change

KyleSch

Yes it side exaust kit comes with a pipe and header, and no it doesn't come with a 2 speed, I believe they go about 40mph stock.

pick one?
one of those cars isnt even close to the price of the others.
that has no bearing on your choice?

i vote for the tc3 cause thats what i can afford and thats what im going to get
