$1200, also includes a ton of stuff, even the awning :-), I am guessing close to $3000 worth of stuff.

cant do that.
that's too much money... :(
but right know I'm looking at this car on Used Victoria
http://www.usedvictoria.com/classified-ad/tc4-compatition-ready-300-need-it-gone_14040430
might be already sold though, but looks like its a good deal. do you know if it is?

That's Neils old car.. I think parts might be a problem. I would recommend a T1 fko5 or a T2 or a T2 007 as parts can be found at the track from other drivers and you should be able to buy a roller (its a car with no elec in it for about 150.00/175.00 a complete kit might might be around $400.00-$600.00 depending on the car) you can also E-mail Korage at korage@shaw.ca and ask him if he knows of any used stuff for sale. he runs a RC shop on the mainland


hope this helps

That would be an ok care but some people may say the car may keep u from getting the proper experiance do to not being a race ready car and can sometimes hold u back. Has torque steer do to the drive shaft.

Here is a link to a X-Ray T2-009 for sale in Vancouver.

Sounds like a decent price, but try to get some pics off him. Some of us have raced against this guy when we have been in Vancouver.
