When Team Associated started off as Associated Electrical about 50 years back, little did they know that they would be one of the biggest and best companies ever to manufacture
RC cars. From manufacturing slot
cars all the way to technologically advanced RC cars, team
associated has come a long way. But what has remained constant over
all these years is their commitment towards excellence. They still
look at each car as a symbol of their company and strive to make it
perfect. So you can relax as far as the quality of the cars is
concerned.
Team Associated Nitro TC3 Review - Pictures and Videos
When you redesign a popular car, you have to make sure that it retains all the qualities of the old one and yet possesses new qualities. In short, the car has to be a much more enhanced version of the old one.
The TC3 is a absolute great car if you want to win races and do a lot of
drifting. I would recommend this product for those of you that want a little
more edge in your RC car, but if you're new to RC's, then a similar car like the
Traxxas Nitro
4-Tec might be more suitable since it's easier to run with right out of the
box.
Pros
Breaks are extremely durable and even have a floating carbon
steel rotator. This makes it great for drifting and racing. No
other RC car can top the breaking mechanism on this car.
Revised rear suspension, making it handle like a dream.
Various engine positions and power pack locations, making it
easy to modify to your needs. It also makes it so you can choose
your power preference.
Adjustable gears that make it possible for the car to adjust
on all kinds of different tracks.
Un-like most RC cars, it doesn't come pre-assembled with
plastic bushings. You won't need to worry about replacing or
wearing them down since they come with metal bearings.
Extremely user friendly
Cons
The car does have some acceleration issues, but it's nothing
much. Once it reaches top speeds, there isn't really anything to
complain about.
Only really good on smooth/flat surfaces. Any dirt and
debris might be a problem for your spur gear.
Tweaking your original servo can improve the steering on the
TC3, but there's nothing really too wrong with this vehicle in
the first place - it wins many many races!
Recommendations/Rating
I give the Team Associated Nitro TC3 a 4.5/5. It's one
great car, it handles well, drifts well and even better - races
great! If you want to win or impress, this vehicle is a must get!
