Re: RC12L chassis plate question

Hmm....the edge look machine cut though it so perfect. Could it be they a layer was removed to allow the chassis to flex in the wrong ? I mean if it delaminated wonder would you need remove such a large area?

RC12L chassis plate question

Hey so i got this RC12L online. I was wondering has anybody even see a RC12L chassis plate where the front end layer of fiber glass is thinner then the rest. Look like 1 layer has been removed? Did this ever exist as a factory version or is this custom made? Line where its cut is perfect like its ma...

Re: RC12L3 Resto: Coel's first AE project

so 13.5 i think is comfortable speed but 17.5 probably more safe if you worrying about damaging it. The front end and the t-bar very fragile. I advise you get larger/long foam bumper that extends to the edge of the outer wheels. I find that really help protect the front end from get clipped on impac...

Re: RC12L3 Resto: Coel's first AE project

I wouldn't be planning to win any races with the car, and wouldn't want to destroy it due to my lack of racing skillz. I'd love to drive it, though. A 1S LiPo with motor in the 13.5T range would be driveable, then? 13.5T and 17.5T are pretty standard for 1/12 spec racing here in north america. 17.5...

Re: RC12L3 Resto: Coel's first AE project

I just remember there was a older gentlemen at our are local track that closed down. The track is about 4000 square foot, He ran a 2 cell saddle pack lipo on his RC12l with 6 turn brushed motor. It was insanely fast on straights and corning was suprisingly good like it was on rails. he was racing ot...

Re: RC12L3 Resto: Coel's first AE project

Interesting...did he just tape in the battery? So I should be considering a 1S LiPo that's as small/flat as possible and a 13.5T motor wouldn't be too much power on 1S, I'm thinking? Looks like he tape the battery. I have 12r5 and we tape our 1s lipo and run 13.5 brushless. 12r5 was not made to run...

Re: RC12L3 Resto: Coel's first AE project

probably what your car would look like if you bought all those mis-match colour left over parts from Asia tees. They actually sold green L3 parts kinda odd.

Re: RC12L3 Resto: Coel's first AE project

Nice job the purple and blue works. Like how you made the rest of the car with bits of purple like the purple socket head washers. A simple cheap upgrade or idea is you can get purple body clips. I think if you change the spring to purple it will tied overall purple scheme together. Feel like middle...

Re: RC12L3 Resto: Coel's first AE project

Cool thanks! Yup i know of asiatees but never bought them before. Your right about the certain colours, especially when its like purple or green hard to match if rest of your chassis is blue. Let me know if the parts fit ok? I have been kinda afraid to purchase gpm parts. I bought gpm motor mount in...

Re: Vintage Novak repro decals

You Original Scan was not very good, and image size is too small to do much adjustment in photoshop. Best bet is to re-cutt all the shapes with a vector tool if you want razor shape edges. Did a test for you below hope it helps Now if only I can get a single soul to respond or help me with my own th...

Re: Rusty RC12E Resto ***Finished!!!

Some of the images were indeed deleted to make room on my Photo Bucket account. Restoring the rusted metal is easy though. Just take some 600-400 grit sandpaper and sand off the rust until it's nice and shiny. Use a file to true up the ends of the rods for neatness if you like. Then sand again with...
