I really like the idea of 8 minute heats and the ultra streamlined bodies.

Couple questions if I may.
1. Since they do not have front drive and rear is direct drive the cars seem to be mechanically simpler. I assume this makes them easier to maintain and not require so much time adjusting and rebuilding.
2. When racing road course are you pretty much at full throttle the whole time. How is the driving compared to 1/10 TC.
3. At the club level can you use the same 1/12 car for oval and road course cars
One thing I have found when racing 12th scale is to set the diff where there is a little slip, but to drive smoother with throttle inputs. I have foudn this to make the car perform better....now the thing is: i dont know if this is what is supose to be done when racing 12th scale,(as in if it is already common knowledge), but I experimented and thats what i found
