Car build tips? and any information that would be helpful to me as iam looking foward to trying 1/12 on road racing!
Cheers Jackson.
My suggestion? Shelf the 4.5 and run 17.5 or 13.5 for a while first. Mod 12th scale is one of the hardest classes in the RC world to master. Coming from off-road, its going to be an extreme learning curve.
Build tips, I like Mark Paynes blog:

Good Luck and have fun! 12th scale is all about attention to detail and precision, but when it all comes together just right its a very rewarding class.
