Some things that may be important:
- carpet racing only
- brushed 19T racing (I'll be racing brushless in 1 year or so)
- good support (spare parts, set-ups,...) available
I was looking at the BMI DB12R, Associated RC12R, Hot Bodies C12 and CRC GenX. What do you guys think? No fanboy reactions please

The GenX is a proven carpet car and the BMI car had a good showing at the birds and some other earier races. Parts for both are avalible online, both can run brushless, and setups for both can be found on-line, although less so for the BMI as its the newer car. Either one of these should do the job.
