New 1/12 driver in need of some advice. My car wants to hook left when coming out of slow corners. Its not hard enough to not be able to correct but makes the car difficult to drive. What should I be looking at to fix this problem? Its a VBC lightning V2 running 17.5
Thanks

What would be a good 1/12 car to start with for a beginner? Parts availability is not an issue as I live in the boonies and have to order my stuff anyway.

I have a few crc gen xl cars and they are great. Basically anything with the open rear pod for brushless is nice. I have an old crc carpet knife that still works great too, just more difficult to get the brushless motor/wires in it than with the bit newer ones. Here's a link to a nice car on the forums here, almost rtr for a good price.

The upper eyelets won't fit the 5mm side link balls. These are the ballcups that were used on the R5 shaft through dampers (center & side), only made shorter.

For a sub $100 ESC to get that is 1S specific with BEC Booster circuit which one do you think is to get? Any experiences with either of them?

SMC 1S RF-120

Skyrc Toro 1S 120


I would like to get a Reedy Blackbox 410R but need to keep the costs of getting into 1/12 reasonable. Thanks,

I just got the smc and it's pretty nice for the low price. All aluminum case, fits in the car nicely. I haven't had it very long but happy so far.
