1/10 Scale Electric On Road R/C Touring (Sedan) Cars
This is a very popular on-road class from beginners to serious racers. These are 4wd electric powered radio controlled cars that can go 15mph (entry level) to 50+ mph (r/c racing).

Out of the box, speeds are typically around 15mph. You can also buy hop ups (such as ball bearings, motors, speed controller, lipo batteries) to go faster. For me, I would recommend you just keep the kit box stock, and keep playing with it until it becomes too slow for your driving skills. Then I recommend you buy a better kit rather than spending money hopping up an entry level car. Best Value Touring Cars The Tamiya TA05 and TB03 are good chassis. Out of the box these are much better in terms of handling and durability. They are good for stock class type of racing wherein speeds up to 35mph are achieved.

It is cheap, durable and a good racing machine. I've raced mine in Stock, Modified and Rally type races. Good value. The Best R/C Touring Cars for Racing If you get hooked, the best models are the Tamiya 416x, Associated TC5, XRAY T3 and Schumacher Mi4. These can exceed 50mph and require both good driving and car setup skills in order to be competitive. Read the rc cars onroad article for a comparison of the best racing touring cars for 2010.
