Is there a modern 1:12 car that you like these days? Cue the obligatory Schumacher reference from me :D There is the current 1/12 World Champion Schumacher Eclipse 5: https://www.racing-cars.com/rc-models-2/cars/cars-2wd-4wd=2wd/eclipse-5-1-12th-circuit-kit-k203?returnurl=%2frc-models-2%2fcars%2fca...

Do they think we're made of money???

Well, I'm not paying it

Thanks!

I believe early 6-gears came with 32dp spurs.

Finally uploaded my shakedown run from last week. It actually handles really good on carpet! https://youtu.be/yvimCUvuU9s

All of the steering parts are cracked in some place. One set is original, the other looks like an early repro, the texture is rough. I've always wondered if the non-threaded portion of the ball ends ( just under the hex ) tends to add additional stress to the holes that tend to crack. At least I do...

How did AE do their chrome? Vacuum metallization... the part is put in a vacuum chamber with an aluminum wire, drawn down, then current is applied across the wire which vaporizes the aluminum and the vacuum causes it to attach to the part. Over the last few years all the vacuum metallization places...

If it were me I’d wait until I have the wheels and tires.
Put them on drop the clear body over them and start marking exactly where they need to be.

This may not be the answer but an answer. There are several tip types for set screws. McMaster-Carr shows one of a couple that could possibly work. The .075 being the tip diameter. Probably several other methods to solve the fitment issue. I can't remember if I ever ran across this years ago, not sa...

Hi guys,

After more than two years negotiating with a dear friend, he finally sold me he beloved RC 300 Nos kit with a brand new K/B 3.5 engine, what a dream, this kit was in a closet more than 30 years!! Even got spare parts....Hope you like it as I do.

This seems like a good application for a roll pin. It could be pressed through the hole then cut with an abrasive wheel slightly proud of the ring mounting face. No threading necessary and the pin's cylindrical shape would provide a good fit to drive the notch in the ring. Anyway, Jim was a master a...

Running change, it looks like they started with a setscrew size hole and moved to a 1/16 pin instead- likely due to it being harder to balance the heavy steel screw. Buds became BRP so you probably can't pin down that the buds package would be a setscrew, but it's more likely than the much later brp...
