1. CRC Gen X
2. CEFX Phoenix
3. BMI DB12R
4. Associated 12R5 (when it comes out in March)
I just started racing 1/10 touring cars with rubber (TC5). Would like something that is practical, easy to work on for a new-comer, competitive, and possible different/unique for adjustments. I will be running primarily on a medium/high-bite carpet track. Running outdoors may be nice for the future.
Also, what servos do you recommend. I was looking into the Futaba S9650.

They're all GREAT cars. I personally run a Gen. X with a 9650 servo. No complaints about the car or the servo. Trips is right, the Gen. X will accomodate all the popular servos without any drilling. The car's as fast as anything else out there and CRC's customer service and support are second to none. The best advice I can give is to see what's popular at your track, what spares are on the shelf, and go from there.
