So in beginning my plan I am realizing that there are no tires.....lol should have read more threads. So as I understand... The sc10 front turnbuckles fit and just get a hex clamp for rear axles and then I cause modern wheel/tire combo?
I just got this DS (my first). I have a second parts car on the way as well. My plan is to build a Hill Climb car with open wheels, front a rear wing. Saw an example of one of a Facebook group and I had to follow.
When I say open wheel , I...

I got these two RC10LC's into my possession. Both were driven in IFMAR 1996 On-Road Worlds (Revelation Raceway).

I have been sick as a dog the last few days and had some home time away from work while trying to get better! So I dug out the 3 RC12L's that I had got for free a few years ago, and now want to restore two queens and a runner! The two queens will be...

Been a long time since I worked on my 12's. Since the house fire, the 12's had been in storage with smoke, soot and rust damage, but now I have most of them restored. My RC12L glass car just got a nice set of Good Year decals for the tires and a...

If you want to keep those big wheels on it for the skateparks those wheels and tires you posted up from rc4less will work as it sits now. You won't have to worry about scraping the bottom up on it much either :wink:

Hey guys (and gals, if we have any)
Just a real quick question...what's the basic difference(s) between a 12l and a 12i?

Another way to see the various chassis plates through the life of the 12i. The left is the original with no springs for the suspension at the front and smaller cut outs for the rear suspension creating less rear flex, the second is the version that...

Why has that body never been produced?? I'd love to have one.
Manufacturers are too busy producing 8 versions of Mustang and 6 flavors of Camaro and a dozen iterations of Corvette bodies to develop a Grand National body, evidently. :roll:
Well i finally took the Camaro out on the pavement. she is no longer relegated to the shelf. She performed well and i can say i didn't hold back.

Definitely will be wanting a set. I'll pm you later.
Does anyone know (or can anyone find out) if the mounting holes on the RC12LC, RC12L3 or RC12L4 are the same? The 12L3 uses a lot of the same parts as the 12LC but switched over to the 3-hole wheel mounts. The chassis cutouts are unique to the 12L3...
Last post
Okay, I was able to answer my own question. The holes in the chassis for all 3 models are identical except for the ones for the steering servo. On the 12l3 and 12l4, they are about 1/16 closer together than on the 12lc. So, a 12l3 chassis could be...

Hmm....the edge look machine cut though it so perfect. Could it be they a layer was removed to allow the chassis to flex in the wrong ? I mean if it delaminated wonder would you need remove such a large area?

Do RC10DS KITS come with bearings or bushings - I know kits are far & few between, but some built sellers don't say which are in their rollers etc - just curious doug

Yes, GoMachV is correct, the DS qualifiers came with bushings.
Same goes with the nitro DS qualifiers....foam tires, plastic shocks, slipper eliminator, bushings, and dogbones.
