True, in Japan there are 1/12 rubber tires, they look great, but run painfully slow

12th scale is about agility, simplicity

Rubber tires need 4W IS to work proper

Agree that 1/12 is about agility, however rubber tire 21.5 2s might be better for beginners to control the speed. Personally I like foams but to get more people into it rubber might be the answer at my club anyways
