I have a Team Associated RC10GT I bought after owning an onroad Nitro TC3. I learned that offroad is a whole lot different than onroad and to me it is a lot more fun. Your reactions times don't have to be as fast. You also get to have to be a lot quicker and most people pay more attention to setup. I used to have an advantage with my RC10GT because not many people would be able to set up their car to the track conditions. But oh well, that's my story. :)
Oh and check out Team Associated's site it is way cool:
