What is a good kit at a decent price (brand new)?
And what is a good kit at a decent price for a used car?
What electronics will be best (brushed, brushless, cells, etc.)?
I know these would apply to different tracks, but what is a good tire to start out with?
I'll probably have more once I get one, but I suppose this will suffice for now.
Thanks in advance!!!
Right now is a great time to be in 1/12 in some parts of the country its growing in popularity again. The answers you've received are solid so I'll address the used question. You indicated that your looking for a carpet track so I would suggest that you look for a link type car as opposed to a t-bar style. You should be able to find a CRC Gen-X roller for less than $200 or a 3.2ck for under $150. There are other brands like speedmerchant, and BMI that you might also take a look at.
You might want to look at the results of the upcomming "birds" race, that will tell you what the pros/fast guys are running on carpet. And keep in mind what brands your lhs supports, online is allways an option but not as convient.
