TC or GT12?

[magoo1964]

Hi all,

I am not new to the RC world having pitted for my lad at 1/8 Rallycross & Truggy nationals, Neo and god knows how many club meetings but he stopped racing a few years ago .....
I am putting together an 1/8 buggy with the intention of finally having a go myself next year but am thinking that some indoor action over the winter certainly wouldn't hurt!
All of my local clubs seem to run onroad only so my question is .... bearing in mind that the car will be a bit of a 'banger' to start with am I better off looking at a Touring Car or GT12? Which is more forgiving? Slower?!
Interested to hear your thoughts, thanks

Having done both I'd definately recommend GT12 over TC for starting out.
Easier to drive, setup, cheaper and generally slower.
It's a great class for cutting your teeth in racing and learning race etiquette etc.

Thanks, that was my initial thinking ..... just need to find a bargain set up now (the buggy is eating my cash!!)

I do indeed. Its a great club, very friendly bunch and plenty willing to help and advise. At the moment GT12 seems to be on the decline at the club but there is always at least 1 heat of GT12's. When you come just ask for me and I will help you out if I can.
