I'm in...for the first and probably only time. :)

1987 Buick GNX (Monte Carlo body with custom-made stickers to turn it into a GNX).

RC12L3 resto-mod with alloy upgrades, XCeed carbon wheels & tires, Turnigy Trackstar Gen II 1-cell ESC, 1S LiPo with custom battery tray & hold-down, Trinity Kill Shot 17.5T brushless motor, custom bumper. I wanted this entry to be nicely detailed, unique and complete. Good luck to all, it's already looking like a tough contest!

This is my RC12i with IFS, ride height adjuster, carbon fiber axle and chassis brace. Everything is original and complete on the chassis from the screws to the wheel & axle bearings. New Associated front pre-trued donuts and Parma rear donuts installed on restored & NOS Associated rims. The wing mount was made using the template supplied in the RC12i manual. The diamond wing buttons are Kimbrough No. 125 for 1/12 cars. TBG Lola body with original Associated stickers and repro numbers. I made aluminum velocity stacks for added detail. The car is fitted with vintage electronics including a restored Associated red label modified motor. The car is fully functional, charge the battery and install AM channel 76 and you're good to go vintage racing.
