Need help to I.D. 2 12th scale cars

[REMJ666]

Picked these up today for 50 bucks...I know one is a RC12 something and we think the other is made by Hot Bodies ??? Not sure...Which ones are they ???? Any help would be greatly appreciated...The photos start with the RC12 and end with the Hot Bodies...

I believe there are RC12L3 and a HB cyclone 12

Thanks...Both cars have a lot of dust from sitting with little run time...They should clean up well...My first 12 scale pan cars...

Started cleaning the RC12 up and found a few things missing...I will call Team Associated tomorrow and order the missing bits and pieces...It is cleaning up well...Just hosed it down with WD40 and took a rag to her...Pulled the rear apart and found a crunchy bearing and one of the ride height adjusters was missing...But overall it is in great shape...Not 100 % minty but very little usage...

So this was not supposed to be a build thread because every time I start one it never gets done...So I ordered some parts and the correct rear wheels for it and everything works...Took it completely apart and cleaned everything even better and replaced some of the screws that started to strip...I am waiting on the shock rebuild kit and turnbuckles...After that to find a matching set of front wheels and tires then to decide on a body or not to put a body on it ??? One last question about the rear...I bought a brand new gear and balls and when I put it together the spur weeble wobbles really bad....I sanded the diff rings before I put it back together...Could the diff rings be bad ????

I'd say the spur is warped

Definitely get a body, there's tons of 12's to choose from

It is even worse...A bent axle

What about getting a body and partially painting it and leaving the main color clear to see the chassis? Something like painting the racing stripes.

I like the Jaguar body a lot...Just might put that one on it...
