Ran 12th scale today for the first time at my local track and I cant beleive how much I liked it! I had never run one of these car's prior and I was surprised how easy they are to drive once you learn some throttle control/rythym. When you get it right it's an awesome feeling. i used suntan lotion for traction compound and it actually worked (the regulars had been using it) Thumbs up for 12th scale...
