1/12th has a ton of history and uniqueness to it, I honestly don't know why some people want to change it. It works for most people. Truing tires is easy and if you don't own your own than talk to the local track about providing one.

He's not telling you he has an Awesomatix A800X for USGT, The fastest VBC Lightning 10 WGT-R car on the planet and somewhere in his collection a 12th scale WITH FOAM TIRES. The car in the picture is gorgeous and looks spectacular on track, but that is what it was built for: rolling art. He will be back to spanking everyone by a lap Friday night in WGT-R and USGT.
