Nick,

Are you thinking about a TC4? Tower has them on back order and $30 off of $300 or more. It is very tempting

MikeI'm thinking of getting one eventually. I think I am going to start out the season with my TC3 with a new chassis. I really like that BMI chassis!

The BMI is sweet. What color would you get? We may have to do one and one. You get the BMI I'll get a TC4.

I would probably just get the Black one, the traditional look. I'm sure I will wind up with a TC4 before the season is over anyways. It is nice to see on the TC4 that they got rid of the composite motor mount, I think thats where all my troubles originate.

The mount also looks to be vented better. I wonder how much space is going to be on the car for electronics.....

Hey guys check out KT hobbies and speed tech r/c there both about $70 cheaper than tower. You can find there links at rc tech fourm

www.rctech.net

I dont belive Gary or Jon are able to come this weekend,Heard they sent 5 packs for door prizes.

Good luck to all this weekend wish I could be there but im in the middle of a point battle in the Trinity touring series,Im currently 4th and should come out 3rd in touring stock not bad seeing there was about 75 drivers in this class and most are all sponsored as well.

edit: At least as much as the TC3

I looked at the pics again. Seems to be the same space. I bet the new Novak speedo would fit in there well.

Mike, actually i think the chassis is dimentionally smaller... they moved the batt closer to the shaft... so it DEFINATELY isnt as wide on THAT side.... and looks like they narrowed the other side too... i can BARELY fit my electronics in my TC3 (cyclone C2 - futaba 133 fm reciever - hitec 5625 servo) as it is....

That was my concern. Its not like the chassis was big to start with. The description says the batts are moved in closer, but nothing about the other side. I would just assume it is because of the "and the narrower chassis provides more side-to-side roll clearance" line. :freak: there is only one way to find out.

well when u tryied to set my suspension i guess it wasnt that easy for u since they werent even close to being even on both sides

I think its about the same size, if you look at the motor, its in the same position, all they did was remove the empty space on the outside of the motor, and it looks like its still the same space for the electronics, otherwise a standard sized servo wouldn't fit.

-Tone"Can I use the TC4’s chassis on my TC3?
No."

Thats all I see on the Chassis, and I think it is because of the new mounting patterns for the front and rear end.

I just went to the Critters web site, Dennis, and it worked. And Aldo posted on other forum earlier today about a line of hardware he has just started to carry. Doesn't sound like he closed up. I'd check the phone numbers and URL you were using.

Hey Dennis

I have steering knuckles and cvd's if you need to borrow or swap for them. I have the ofna 9.5, I am not sure if they are the same or not? If you find out they are the same part #, you are welcome to use them.

Put me down to run 4wd mod off-road as well. Now I have some tires, all that is left is to put the car together. Although, I haven't run my XX-4 in at least 5 years!
