CRC T-Force

The Link cars are

CRC GenX
Associated rc12r5 (not yet released)
BMI.

Guys please correct me if i am wrong but T-Bar car work best on low grip carpet tracks.

If you phone Wim from Action Model Centre on 01803 211007 he specializes in 12th scale and has every part for every car you could ever want.

If you are quite new to racing i would probably stay clear of the Corally SP12X as it seems to be quite a fragile car in comparison to the C12 and RC12L4. My opinion is go to your local track and have a chat to the guys there and see which cars they run then i would go for the same, as they will be able to help you out on setup etc.

hope this helps

The new Associated RC12R5 gives you the option of running links or T bar. I also heard that it uses all metric fasteners except for the rear axle and hubs.
