I believe, the get an ae12l4 to be good advise (but any "T-Bar" car will do)
My first 1/12th car was a carpet knife (link car) and i found it very hard to get along with.
To the point that i nearly gave up on 1/12th but after just a few weeks with a BMI converted 12l4 am finding life with the 1/12th crowd to be alot of fun.
Far better than when i was running 2 to 3 laps behind wondering what i was doing wrong all night long........
I'm sure this is a preference thing , but i'd really have to say if your starting out PLEASE go with a T-Bar to start with at least.......... It would have saved alot of head scratching for me.
Also the single biggest thing to get right with a 1/12th car in my opinion is the tires (look at what the "club Hero's are using) if you haven't got these right no matter what you do to your car it won't go right !!!
