For 1982 Team Associated fully redesigned their electric 1/12th scale car, dubbing it the RC12i. It was still constructed of molded nylon parts attached to a fiberglass chassis but gone was the hourglass shaped main plate with its dampening assisted upper radio tray, in it's place, a trapezoidal sha...

In 1979 Associated would close out its first decade with the release of the gas powered RC300. Building upon previous iterations of their 1/8th scale platform the RC300 would use the hourglass shaped fiberglass chassis, abs upper radio tray, and abs front bumper design of the RC200 while replacing n...

In 1978 Associated entered the 1/12th scale electric market with the release of the aptly named RC12E. Associated's first electric powered RC car, the 12E was developed over the year prior to its release. Heavily based off the RC300 the 12E was unique in being constructed almost entirely out of mold...

Hmmm... what was Jimnny's email address again?...

Bummer... I didn't know that. Always frustrating when you send an email and get crickets in return.

Wonder if the Parma bodies will ever make a comeback too. www.slotcarstore.net/pages/PARMA-RC-Bodies-T1622.html www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?t=48592 ...one email away from finding out if you can get one. Totally understand on taking artistic liberty's, it's generally a more fun way to travel.

Oooo... very nice wheels... those look light just sitting there. As pretty as the wheels are though, the Revell paint is shocking. That is a night and day difference compared to the paint pens. A lot of awesome in those two posts. You mentioned painting the bumpers... the original TDP car used chrom...

1978 would see Associated Electrics release their third 1/8th scale vehicle, the nitro powered RC200. The new design brought with it a lighter hourglass shaped fiberglass chassis that was less susceptible to tweaking compared to the previous aluminum version, with the plastic front bumper and floati...

Actually my next build will be # 3. It's been waiting patiently for a while. https://th.bing.com/th/id/R.95e983e24271807fb2f5f41e37481b68?rik=Kce6Gt8k4O6hSA&riu=http%3a%2f%2fwww.clipartbest.com%2fcliparts%2fdT6%2fXBK%2fdT6XBK9Lc.gif&ehk=19IUF21ymTLubzguejSeotMWEFAW1zUB0%2bcexW5RIEI%3d&r...

Hiya Steve, Thank you, I appreciate the compliment. A lot of information came from the instruction manual and Associated's website: www.associatedelectrics.com/teamassociated/cars_and_trucks/RC1/RC1/ which also has a picture of a parts list. I have a month or so worth of Associated ads to post and l...

Apparently I like to use #8 decals... they probably hide paint blemishes really well.

Hmm, which one do I like most...

...umm, number 8!

Team Associated debuted their second car in 1975, the 1/8th scale gas powered RC100. Featuring a more sculpted 3/16in. thick flat aluminum chassis the new base shared only the black powder coated crossbar front axle/steering assembly and other minor parts from the previous generation car. The adjust...

You're welcome, dunno if you'd shared it before, but it's an awesome story. And shocking that the JCPenny's is still there and open!

The image of the flag header card used as a sample above is for a b4/t4 part so wouldn't that stretch it's usage up to atleast 2003/2004? It would... I wonder how azone missed that. :P :P :lol: :lol: looking again the latest I found a flag card was for an RC18T shock tower (2004) while the RC18B sh...
