I just started racing 1/12 scale, and what a change from TC. I'am loving it !!!! I went with a 12L4. I can't really compare being this is my first 1/12 scale, but the fast guys are running CRC's or Speedmechent's. When I finally got my car in that 10% window of diled it is the funnest class I've ever run. And talk about a group of racers that are willing to help out !!!! This is it. Thanks to all the 1/12th guys from stockton. With out you racers I would of Ebayed the L4 long ago. Low cost to run, easy on your motors, and some killer help from some of the most experenced racers at the track !!! Can't beat that......
