asked the bloke at the shop but he doesnt seem very clued he agrees with everything i ask ,it was as in box ie chassis and drive train we just fitted the rest ,i will get another diff for rear then ,tc4 is an associated car ,so youd recommend getting some decent bearings and lube ,wheel bearings too

Why you wanna buy it?
Yes. For ultimate speed we also used to remove all bearing shields and not use grease in them, just very light sewing machine oil .. and cleaned them after every race!
Do you race indoors or outdoors? Outdoors leave the shields on, indoors take them off but check scrupulously for nylon 'fluff' .. it's a beeatch to get out once it's heated on and dried to a ball ..
Nope, thinking JM's new toy

indoors a school hall wooden floor,
Yeah and the RTR (Ready to Run) means it's put together .. HA!
It's put together, but only like any other mass-produced item, to a price not to a spec. You'd definitely be as well to re-build both diffs. It may be, I don't know 'cos I only ever had Team editions that need building from scratch, that the diff is simply locked by tightening it enough so it doesn't rotate, or has a dummy centre, you might be able to adjust it to work properly ..
Somewhere I have boxes of tyres and wheels and spares for these things .. I was club, and Area Touring Car champion a few years ago! Club champ for about 10 years .. just got old and my thumbs stopped doing what I told them to, that's when I went into refereeing ..
