I'm going to start out in the 17.5 Single Cell class, so any advice on gearing, tires, cars, and bodies would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance Michael
Since nobody has answered yet, WELCOME TO 1/12th SCALE! Of your two choices, I would suggest the CRC, but that is my personal opinion. Also look at the BMI DB12RR and the Speedmerchant Cars. Checkout

http://www.teamcrc.com/crc/modules.p...article&sid=27 scroll all the way to the bottom for 1/12th tire recommondations. As for gearing, talk to people in the pits and see what they are running. I like the looks of the CRC bodies, but the Protoform Speed 12B seesm to be good for stock class.
Hope this helps! Enjoy!
