Rules seem ok for the few I’ll probably do that will use them.

Its obvious you did not like my simple answer. Like the last big post it was taken down within hours of me posting but it got the job done. There is no rule that I can think of about the min. diameter of a foam tire? Why is there one one the rubber tire? Just who do you think got rules to include foams when they were totally left out? but he the President ((Mr. Young) does not always answer emails. You might also ask about the min. weight for bodies? where did that come from?It looks like they had problems with the WGT-R guys and maybe it filtered down to this class( but not here in Florida).If you are going to scrap the bodies that light you really have to be desperate to attempt to win a race. Oh well we will see how long this post stays up. still write to your President and region directors - maybe they can help you like mine did .

I see them trying to make GT12 as a friendlier entry level for 1/12. The 21.5 isn't that demanding on the car or driver, Thicker bodies last longer, GT bodies themselves are less sensitive to having damage then LMP as will as having a certain appeal to them. Rubber tires last longer and Don't require a expensive truer to start. The min tire size is odd as it really doesn't limit one run tires. I would just run them out of the package trued up to be even If necessary and save them for 17.5 once they hit that minimum. As for asphalt only I don't see it as a huge problem.

You have forgotten the big thing when Rubber tires came out that they don't do now- Trueing. They said over and over just put them on and no more trueing! , just clean them. Now they skim the tires after each round? As for a min on Foams we take our foams and when they get low we have carpet tires. Racing is racing and tires or body are expenses- name a hobby that does not have expenses? If you want to have fun- it cost something. Again on the rules contact they President-your region director and the electric chairperson. and complain here- then you will get results.
Just to go back in time before many of you were around. We had a lawyer from Miami, Fla that would use two or three cans of paint and lightly mist the body. The window were clear and it was techinically called painted. You could barely see the paint and could see thru the body of his ASC 1/12th but it was legal. Define what is painted?

robk,
Here is a basic starting point. If you don't have a setup station, ask to borrow one at your track so you can get the Toe and camber setting right. It would be worth investing in one as it will get used a lot.
Ride height min is 3mm I would start at 3.2 front and 3.4-3.5mm rear
One degree of toe out on the front wheels
One degree of camber
Four to six degrees of caster.
1mm rear pod droop. This is set by the length of the center shock. Check youtube for videos on how to measure and set this. It's important to get it right and while there look up how to tweak and adjust for it.
I'm not familiar enough with the CRC car to recommend springs, so check with your local racers and see what they are using.
This should get you in the ball park.

.45mm side springs in the outer (but not over the links) hole. I have .50mm on the front. Start with the battery forward for a easier to drive car. CRC quirks.

Awesome race series at our local track. GT-12R for 5 weeks. We averaged 18 entries a week. Equal points for qualifying (100 point scale) and main run. Mains finish order was based on laps as if all cars ran together. Yesterdays "B" had three cars with better runs than the last three in the "A" so they earned more points for their main. Over the 5 weeks you had two drops of your lowest points either qual or main run. It was a huge amount of fun and very competitive. Yesterdays "B" featured 5 cars with 28 lap runs in 5:03.xxx. The "A" had 3 cars that ran 28's only slightly faster. That was very cool stuff and I have been doing this since 88.
