TC or GT12?

[Cliveyp]

I've now had just over 12 months back racing following a 10-12 year sabbatical, and have been running a handful of different touring cars on 13.5 blinky at my local club. I initially quit racing all those years ago when the club moved away from buggies into TC's, as I just didn't find it anywhere near as enjoyable.

Now i've returned, I have to admit I've found it more fun than I used to all those years back, but still prefer buggies - unfortunately we are not able to run that many buggy meets at the local club due to time/availability restrictions, and running a TC at least gets me out every week for something. I'm also not really available to lose a day from a weekend in order to hit a typical off-road event.

With this in mind, I was contemplating trying GT12 for my weekly fix. Reasons behind this being that its something different (for me at least), and something cheaper - which is ideal if I think I might be starting to fall out of love with TC's again.....

What do you guys think? I'm really at a bit of a crossroads at the moment - my current Xray T4 needs some money spent on replacement parts due to a slightly heavy impact, and I am needing to replace my 2S lipos due to them starting to puff a bit.....this could influence the replacement purchases.....
I could chat with the TC guys and GT12 guys on a Friday night, which I have done, and both sing the praises of the classes they run in, but neither can really give me a good enough reason why to sway one way or the other.....
