Re: RC12LW back on the track?
I drilled the shaft end tonight and now problem is solved. Thanks RC10th.
Now, I'm waiting for my new aluminium bulkhead to continue the rebuild.

Re: RC12LW back on the track?
It took a long time for the bulkhead to travel from USA to France, but finally, it's here and rebuilding is on its way.
My car is a little heretic, given that I put a Corally 12*1 motor bought from a guy in my club. I hope it will not shock Asso fanatics. It will run with 4 cells NiMh batteries.

Re: RC12LW back on the track?
Do you know if it's possible to put steering turnbuckles+ball cup (like a RC12LS) on a RC12LW?

Dude that thing is like a time capsule. Glad you found it after nearly 30 years. Id say run it, but with mjdern electronics. Just for the ease of use and longer run times.

Re: RC12LW back on the track?
Almost 30 years later, my RC12LW is ready to hit the track.
ESC: Novak Duster Sport
Receiver: Futaba R304-SBE
Servo: Savox 1251MG
Battery: Ruddog NiMh
Body: Trinity TRI39700
I will certainly need new tires quickly, I don't what to choose for the time being (modern 1/12 wheels are so different from mine).

I like how you used modern style bullet connectors on your saddle packs. The end result is much cleaner.

Re: RC12LW back on the track?
What I mostly remember was people either soldering them in or using the modular Anderson (Litespeed) style connectors.Frankentruck wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 3:23 pmBITD a lot of the pan car guys used bullet connectors on their saddle packsjuicedcoupe wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 3:06 pm I like how you used modern style bullet connectors on your saddle packs.

Unless you are referring to a different type, I don't even remember anything like the modern heavy duty bullets being available then. You used Dean's, Litespeed, or soldered directly.

Re: RC12LW back on the track?
I remember the pan car guys with the really expensive matched cells having a gold plated barrel soldered to the battery terminals and then bullet ends on their wires. The cells packed away nice and neat in their cases with the wires removed.juicedcoupe wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 3:40 pmWhat I mostly remember was people either soldering them in or using the modular Anderson (Litespeed) style connectors.Frankentruck wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 3:23 pmBITD a lot of the pan car guys used bullet connectors on their saddle packsjuicedcoupe wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 3:06 pm I like how you used modern style bullet connectors on your saddle packs.

Re: RC12LW back on the track?
I came across this Corally SP12m (because this thread is creating the itch to get an RC12) and noticed the ESC power leads had the bullet connectors that I remember seeing. No idea who used to make those connectors.

Not easy to find anymore. Electronics stores with components seem to have gone extinct.
