Happy Birthday TC3

[johnbull]

Hi friends. Greetings from Malta.

In less than a month the Associated TC3 will be 5 years old.

In 5 years this fantastic car has changed very little, yet is still doing more winning than any other car, anywhere in the World.

May I therefore take this opportunity to salute and congratulate Cliff Lett and the boys at Associated Engineering for producing the World's greatest 1/10th RC car of all time.

Regards

Joe from sunny Malta.

I remember seeing the pics of an early prototype back then!

Surely there must be a new car on the drawing board?

[Ben Turner]

Well when i first started racing (about 97'-98') the b3 had just been released. Now the b4 has only just been released, so i make that about 6 years roughly, so we could say that there is a year or two left, and people could argue that the buggy had more competition (the xxx from losi), so could of been "forced" out a bit quicker. Either way i still think it will be a while before the tc4 (i think we can say it will be called that), will come out.

The TC4 must be the most awaited car of all times.

How long have we been talking about it?

If anyone reads Dreschers Diary in RRCi magazine, he hints strongly at the possibility of new product from Associated this year.....

[Straightspeed]

You know its coming when AE's R+D department vigorously deny it ;D(see previous thread on TC4) it's even better than a chairmans "vote of confidence" ;D ;D

What would you guys want to see changed with the TC4?

BMI style chassis and a better strg rack

[Simon Smith]

I dont think it'll be called the TC4. I think I read somewhere that GM make a car called the TC4, its a belt driven car ,similar in style to the HPI Sprint, but with a CF chassis etc. Its not actually made by GM, but its like a collaboration, between them, and another manufacturer, like the AE and Thunder Tiger effort.

I may be mistaken though

[Matthew Hickling]

I have always driven a tc3 since I started racing, and it has been extremely reliable. Fantastic car.
