I've been reading threads on rctech for the last month. After an 8 year break from rc racing, I've decided to start racing again this year. I always liked 1/12 scale and the sedans seem like too much right now. I've been doing research on whether I should go tbar or link and have decided to go link with the AE12R5. Though, I do have some questions before I pull the trigger since I have to buy new everything. I've been reading and spoke to a racer at my local track that link cars aren't consistent from week to week. Does this hold true with the AE12R5? My concern is that I don't want to have to chase setup each weekend at my home track. Is it necessary to buy the brushless parts if I am going to run a brushless motor? Thanks for your help in advance.
