Help for 1/12 1s 10.5T Blinky

[toroloco]

Hi,

I want to join the 1/12 racing but there are so many brands out there?
I will racing 1s 10.5t blinky on carpet.
Yokomo, Asso, Xray, Serpent, Onpoint, Speedmarchent, Morotech, VBC, Corally
and many others?
What would be the brand to go the car should be durable and easy to set up.
Also what tyres brand Jaco, JFT, Hotrace, Mobgumm's....
I will also need a tyre truer but the Hudy is way out of my budget..
Thank's for Your help.

All those companies produce good cars that will give you a something that can get the best from your driving level. It is best if you pick one that is popular where you race. That way, you have plenty of people to ask about set-ups, and plenty of people to share new ideas with.

It is not very helpful being the only driver with a particular car when everyone else is driving another chassis. It makes getting up to speed harder and takes longer to try new things. Find out what is run at the place you want to race and pick that. They are all durable, they are all easy to build, and they all take just as long to learn the perfect set-up!

Tyres - will again depend on the carpet you race on and the additive that is used. My choice would be CRC or JFT. These tyres are high quality and give good life and grip. However, if everyone at your local track is using Mobgums then it would be best to use the same.

Once you have a couple of years experience of 12th racing, then you will be able to try many new things and maybe change your choice. When you are starting racing it is always best to use what everyone else has and get their advice. Unlike a lot of other classes, 12th drivers will always share information with you and help you set up your car. Enjoy! :)
