brozly- May god be with you! jk. Mod 12th scale isnt that bad, its just very different than everything else in some ways. Its actually alot like mod buggy outside than anything else. You never want to go full throttle unless your wheels are pointed straight or else you will draw too many amps and dump. Its basically all about how little battery you can use. If you are really good with the throttle than you can run a lower turn motor and have more speed, however, if you are greedy and use more than you need you will dump and have to run a high turn motor to comensate. Alot of guys actually just run 19t turn motors in mod to get used to the speed without having to worry as much about throttle control.

windsorguy99- Have a fun time. 12th scale is a blast. Take it easy, remmeber to tweak your car and make sure all of the car is set properly (ie all correct right heigh and all of that stuff), and to remember how much you sauce your tires each run. I suggest starting out with full rear always (always run full rear sauce) and in the inside half of the front tires. Also I dont know how much you know about 12th scale, so this might be repetiative (but please dont be insulted if you already know this stuff, lol).

-start out with around 50% dual rate, and make sure to check your endpoints BEFORE you ever do a lap

-always ask someone who knows there stuff if you have any questions. most people are very friendly and willing to help, and it makes a hgue difference

- are your tires trued? You really dont want to run a larger tire than a 1.83 front or a 1.93 rear, or else you will have all sorts of problems with handling and traction rolling and such... (this is for carpet, asphalt sometimes you run fresh tires).

-Remember, take it easy, everyone started out somewhere, just try to learn and have a fun time!
