Best advice is to go along to your local track and see what other guys are using. Especially if you are new to the wonderful world of 12th racing. There are LOADS of capable chassis's out there but all of them need to be setup well to get the best from them. Have a look to see if one car is the most popular at your club and maybe go with that. Life will be made easier if you do that because you can discuss setup alternations with your racing buddies. If you are not the best of drivers out there, the only car I would not reccomend you go with is the Corally 12X. It's a great car, no doubt about that, but it does have a couple of weak areas which break rather easily and cost a fair bit to replace. Feel free to ask as many questions as you like mate, no prob with that! Cheers, Chris.
