Hey Guys, I need some advice.

I'd like to get into 1/12 scale, and plan to buy a new kit. I'm having a bit of difficulty figuring out which to get, though.

I've had people advise to stick with a t-bar car... since they are easier to tune and i'm new to 1/12 scale. Sound advice?

I'm hesitant to buy an associated 12L4 because I've had people say the build quality isn't all that great, the chassis is a little weak, the batteries are in a crappy orientation, and you've got to spend $$ to get a lowered pod and lowered front arms almost immediately.

I like some things about the Corally SP12M, but people warn me away from it because you have to use Corally wheels (which don't use 1/12 standard arbors for tire truers?) and I don't much like that you've got to buy car-specific pinions.

I'm somewhat interested in a CRC car, but there there's Speedmerchant, Trinity, Hyperform, etc, etc.... <bob's brain gets melty>

So, what should I get? Any suggestions (with explanations) would be greatly appreciated.
