My impressions are that the RS4 is a bit more complicated to work on,
and a bit heavier.  Other than that they seam to be pretty equal.  Oh,
BTW the TC3 is being phased out.  If you don't want to have a steadily
more difficult time buying parts, you might want to check out the TC4.

I don't drive touring cars a lot, but I did own a TC3 a while back.
Associated makes some of the simplest and most open designs on the
planet.  That's probably why the people that drive them can get the most
out of their chassis.  You can spend more time on driving than on
maintenance.

RS4 RTR3 for $187. Is it worth it or should I resell? It has upgraded
parts...here is the listing

Well shoot. Now that you have both, you might as well take them both out
to the track and see which one you like better.  No opinions from us are
 going to be better than your own first hand experience.
