I finally got my a 12th scale again. I got a hyperdrive, and I will start building today if I get a chance. I'm going to go paint up a body right now. But I'm still trying to decide on which color to make it, Im leaning towards black. Because when I hit stuff the smudges dont show up as much

. I'm also downloading 12L3 instructions right now because I'm not very impressed by the word document that it comes with

.
My first question on building it is, what thickness of t-plate does it come with? I think Ive heard like .63" or something, whats the next size up? Is that something like a .73"? How will changing the t-plate (stiffer or softer) effect the handling of the car? Thanks.
