Hey everyone,can someone answer another dumb question of mine? I am wondering what the abbreviations after RC10 an RC12 on road chassis's are about? i can only assume something to do with oval or chassis length....Thanks everyone :mrgreen:

Just different versions or models of that car. Easiest example is the stadium truck line - 10T, 10T2, 10T3, 10T4, 10T4.1, 10T4.2.

Associateds onroad was a little trickier but same concept, 10L was 235mm but 10LSS (Super Speedway) was narrower, 200mm I think. 10L2, 10L3, 10L3O (oval), 10L3T which was a 200mm touring pan car. It gets complex with all the spin offs and different models etc.

Anyone here can correct me if I'm wrong. I think the letters after the RC12 series are "E" for electric, "I" for independent and "L" for Losi. I don't know what the "R" stands for though.

I know the "C" in RC12LC was for Cliff Lett, the "W" in RC12LW was Worlds! Not sure what the "S" in the RC12LS was? Maybe suspension, as this was the first one with the new front suspension? Only a guess though!

Was the "L" really for Losi????
