It'll probably be around Christmas by the time I get everything together. Maybe a little sooner.

As Mike said, go Xray or Amx. You will find all the help you need in either brand you choose. Most importantly, come out to race! The facility and the work done by those running it has been incredible.

Sam!

12th I think is a little more varied with what guys have, but it's harder to make a bad choice.. just stick with the popular options

+1 for XRAY or AMTX TC

For 1/12, you can't go wrong with AE, CRC or XRAY. AE seems to perform well everywhere, though there isn't much support at 180. CRC does as well and there is some support for them at 180 from time to time. XRAY is also really good now with support from Xavier and/or me pretty much all the time.

I'd recommend the new 2016 roar national champion & 2016 1/12 world champion-- Roche
But I'm biased

I like the way the X12 rear ride height is. Last time I raced 12th scale we had round batteries and the different pills to change ride height. This seems much more precise and less time consuming.

Yep, I like this feature as well. Definitely more precise & you don't have to remove the LR hub. The TOP and Roche also have this feature. Believe the latest CRC has a slider setup.

all these excellent choices for 12th scale !
get one ! they are , and can all be fast..
just bring them out, we will be on spec tires which simplifies things as well..

the only wild card car with really funky front end out there is Yokomo..
