Best Touring Car Advice Please

[Rob H]

Looking to get into touring racing next year and after some advice on which is the best way to go. As a note I ran a tamiya DF-03 off road this year and soon found myself spending money on carbon chassis and hop up parts so unsure what to do

Looking at entry again in the lower end a tamiya TT-01 or a TB-02, is there any real difference in performance between them, which is the best value for money to base a car on.

or, if i will end up spending a load of money on hop ups again is it better to go straight to a 415 or evo 5. I do prefer shaft drive, do belts offer any particular advantage.

or, am I missing something totally, and would be better off with another manufacturer altogether.

Appologise for a lot of questions but trying to get as much information as possible before jumping in
