Yes, good point.
It's not so much that finding a good setup is crucial, as most kits out of the box have a setup that is awesome from the start.
The issue is more of teaching racers how important every facet of that setup is.
When looking at a setup sheet for your favorite 12th scale racer every detail down to the .5 millimeter needs to be followed exactly in order for that setup to be correct.
As the scale is smaller, every part of the car is magnified in importance.
This is also why finding a sturdy car that can hold a setup over time with out a lot of maintenance is key for the fun factor.
Most TC racers spend tons more time resetting, and checking over the details of a more complex car than us 12th scalers do
