Pulled out my old race TC3

Post by RC10th »

Not really "vintage" nor even worth starting a new thread for but.....

Obviously I semi-restored it at some point but it's pretty much how I raced it. Never really been a fan of touring cars so it hasn't been used a whole lot to begin with. The car features some Penguin RC chassis braces from when Penguin was manufacturing RC parts.

The only downfall of the TC3 or any shaft driven car for that matter is torque steer.

Not many TC3 threads so feel free to post pics of yours.

That's pretty sweet looking. I'm a sucker for real carbon fiber parts.

The chassis braces are pretty unique and I'm sure do absolutely nothing :lol: some woven carbon fiber shock towers would have looked awesome.
