hey guys, ill start out by saying im an offroad nitro guy. so brace yourself for the dumb questions... 
the two classes im interested in racing at my LHS are modified 1/12 pan car, and stock 1/12 touring. for both they are the same car, the difference is the motor and the body. so with that in mind, which of the following 3 cars would be ideal for my setup?
the AE 12L3, the 12L4, or the Carpet Knife? AE parts are readily available from my LHS, some guy just bought the very first carpet knife at our track, so im sure parts will become available. im pretty sure both classes will be 4 cell, and while we will be doing some carpet oval, it will mostly be a road course we will race on (its a modular oval).
so, what do you guys think i should invest in for my first carpet venture?
thanks
I've had both and liked the carpet knife better, the main reason, 4 cells put together, no taping!!!!
