Thanks for sharing this video, That thing looks awesome!.. The first thing that caught my eye was that bumper man. As a guy that has a bad habit of driving straight into a wall it looks like it can really absorb a hard hit…… 👍
I used to race TC back in the AE TC3 days. Just started racing again, but TC isn't that popular here now, so I race the AE B7 buggy. I like the look of this new chassis.
In the top view you can clearly tell that the front and rear end are not the same at all, and while they may share a few parts and a similar appearance, they're almost completely constructed of different parts. Arms, universals, cups, links, etc. MAYBE the shocks are the same. And the screws. But that's about it.
Agree. I really do hope it is affordable. Their drift car is about $300. Compared to other drift chassis, it's a good price. I hope they stay close to that price than the $700+ others have.
I still question AE's quality control after what happened with the RC10B7 gearbox not aligning properly with the chassis & C&D blocks . AE still hasn't address the problem... Just saying ... please Be aware

Been there too. Specially when practicing with friends and turning away from the car to make a comment... the wall always wins.
Car is looking really good on track, looks planted in the mod class.
That is good news.
@ the car broke on the last main it was in(I think d or c main). Got tangled up with another racer battling out for first.

Those were good days. The TC3 was light and nimble. The battery try is somewhat dated. But for the price, it was a great car.
Take note of the proper use of a cooling fan shroud on the motor. Probably increases the cooling effectiveness of the fan alone by 300%
I like how it is forward of the motor and the shroud overlaps the top to direct the air over the entire motor.

Could. Maybe it is just the appearance.
Hope they do, I have tc5 all the way to the tc 7.2, was very disappointed when they got out of the tc game

Exciting
😁
What I don't like: no ball bearings (or at least blades) at outdrive -> driveshaft 😞
Good point. It is a prototype. Maybe they will change it.
You can use a ball end Allen driver instead of a L type Allen,
You are right. Maybe I will give in someday. I am always worried the ball end will damage the head due to the smaller surface area.
Yokomo haven't used pills for a few years now. Definitely not on the BD11, BD12, or MS1.0
