The popular 1/12 brand in the UK by a long way is Associated, with CRC's, V-Dezigns and Serpent's making up most of the remainder. In TC Schumacher have the most popular chassis with Hot Bodies, Associated, Xray, Tamiya and Serpent all having good followings too.
In Germany I thought that the TC market was mostly Tamiya, Serpent and Yokomo while 1/12th scale is a mix of everything as it is in most countries?
I was surprised about Corally dominating in Europe too so I did some research and ended with the same conclusions. Associated and CRC seem to be the most used platforms.
I'm wondering: should I rather go with morerecent cars like the Xti and the 12R5.2, or it doesn't matter? How is the improvement in 1/12 from a generation to another?
