after a year of 1/10 racing i decided to buy a frind for my tc6..
infact 2 days ago a purchased an 12r5 (first model) which is on the way.

in the meanwhile it is coming i would like to ask some question, i think easy questions for all of you..

-may i use both my lrp stock spec mk3 and my npsram pearl spec for 1c lipo, right?

-talking about servos, there is any way to install a normal servo on the car, or i do need a mini servo?
and in this case, which do you find better? i usually run savox servos, and i have on 1251 which i would like to use,but i think it is a little bit overdimentioned (not in dimentions) in terms of torque,
it is 9kg while i saw all 1/12 servos with like 4/5 kg max?
what do you suggest?

-and about the shell, i m going to buy a protoform speed 12 gtp,
just because it is the one i like most,
but there are any indications for the shell like we have in touring for the speed 6, the ltcr and so on...?

-finally a simple question about the motor,
i decided to strt with lrp 10.5 t stock spec, just because i have a spere one and also casuse people told me not to start with 5.5 or 4.5 or anything under 10.5
in this case i should drive the same final ratio the 10.5 have in touring?
do i need to be 6-6.5?

thanks everyone for your patience,

i rellay need to solve this doubts!

p.s. my tracks are carpet only!

Congrats on your 1st 12th scale
You are in for a lot of fun

I've compiled a list of links here to help with your build.

That body will work well for your application.

Gearing for pan cars is based on rollout for tire size and gear ratio, not fixed like sedan.

Stock spec esc is a good choice.

Futaba S9650 is most widely used servo for 12th.
