Rules of VTA, the chassis

Published by insulinboy under R/C Edit This

The Chassis rules are quite simple. All four wheel drive 1/10th scale chassis are legal. Most people (including myself) prefer to run the older chassis as there cheap and still competitive at the slower speeds. The Associated TC3 and TC4 seem to be the best choice as far as the chassis go and I myself run a TC3 (of course I run a TC3 in super stock rubber touring car as well. I just like them, there simple).  The general consensus from what I can tell is that the best car to run is a shaft drive car rather than a belt drive car. The shaft drive cars tend to put the power down faster where the belt drive cars will slip a little at first. The lower power motors don’t have enough oomph to compensate for the power loss in the belt stretch as the higher power motors do.

 

In short your best bet is to find a used associated TC3 or TC4 there not highly sought after except in VTA, and there all over the place. Everyone has one laying around somewhere so there cheap.
