So this is one i didn't think anyone would be interested in but lately 1/12th scale seems to have rebounded :lol: So i started with this Parma(D&D) graphite chassis and away we go.....
Someone knows about the Kawada 1/12th cars?
I know Kawada as a brand name very long but never got into details.
Also all of their 1/12th cars are named M300 ... with the M300 being the first car relesed somewhere around 1986 - 1990 from my...

I have quite a lot of spare parts for the Kawada, mainly gold anodised parts (new but loose) and black plastic parts (NIP). I have no use for them. PM me if interested.
Did anyone used to have these? I remember there was a message board all about monster pirates and they even did a titanium parts run with modified towers for longer shocks and a bunch of other cool parts. When i had min my shock towers kept bending,...

dude in fact, a couple months after i got mine (My first ever online RC transaction buying USED!) they were selling the ofna monster pirate with a .21 pull start hyper motor for like 175.00 at the LHS. This was right before the Tmaxx. I remember...
This was my first 1/8 on-road car that I bought out of the Recycler back in 1983-84 for about $50. It was old back then and I did not respect it, used it as a street basher and apparently did not believe in cleaning it :roll:
Pulled it out of it's...

Not yet, I'm about 3 weekends from finishing with my real race cars so after that I'm onto the vintage 1/8 scale stuff. I've been buying some great stuff!
I have a new set of those rims and was wondering what they were. :?:
Yea Gary you got them from me, I got them from Mr. Ed, they have been around the globe. :lol:[/quote
Yeah, I remembered that I got them from you Rick. I like them, they are on an...

Whether these cars drove crappy or awesome, one thing is for sure; they are a piece of art that anyone would love to have in their vintage collection!
Hey guys, I'm glad I found this board, because I was about ready to start up another community for this very topic. :D
In the past few years, I have found that I enjoy the part of R/C racing that doesn't include racing anymore. And I really enjoy...

Nice car and very clean job! :)

Heres a good thread with some info:
Member Ayk Viper is the one that got banned. I don't remember what caused it but I think he was told to knock it off with his negative know-it-all attitude which caused him to get even more bent out of shape....
i have a old RC car that i was wondering if anyone had parts for or if anyone knows someone that would need this one for parts .

Some pretty cool pics in here! Someone was lucky enough to take pretty close shots of ET's winning machines :)

I have never seen Masami with a B2- I wonder why? Cool link 8)
He ran a nice b2 in Yatabe Arena IFMAR WC, I have the magazine here. I will try to scan later when all my noisy nephews gone home.
A good RC buddy of mine acquired an old Dynamic Models gas car off a high school teacher , From what I understand it was purchases as a school project that never took off . Cool part is , its been in his basement this whole time and was found just a...

All Doug wanted was enough paypal dollars to buy a new radio :lol: I spoke to him at 800 and he was giggling like a school girl . I also now for a fact that some of that money is going to a great cause! 8) Good for you buddy !

I think the car is done for now, but I still have a few items to clean up/fabricate
countersink holes on chassis

couple of threaded standoffs to replace through hole ones
Interesting article on Xpress cars, mentions the evolution of the Tomy Intruder into the Xpress sedan....

I was always interested in Xpress just because it was a crazy flash in the pan. They won the races you mentioned in 1996, had a decent sized team, (Swauger, Mike McMahon, Craig Xavier, Curtis Schlat, among others) and were gone by 2000 in the USA-or...

I dare someone to turn up to a vintage get together with one of these!!!
Got the bug to get started on this SRP-2 earlier this week. Actually, not sure if this is technically an SRP-2 or an SRP-1 v2. I'll let Doug chime in on that because this is his old rig. Showed up awhile back as a box of parts and I've kinda put it...

Amazing! Those Raborn caps are the icing on the cake.

I have my Intimidator Direct Drive sitting on the back burner. I need new arms and a few parts. So I wanted to inquire, are the Klein Parts decent, are there any issues with fittment or otherwise.
Thanks,

Last post
did you want to put the klein arms on the custom works? that wont work if that's what you're asking. arms are still available from custom works for your intimidator D/D car, they are the same arms on the new C/W cars, use intimidator GBX fronts for...
I know it's an Agitator and probably 1/12th scale, but I want to know the who's, why's, and when's!

You can find some delta ones on Ebay, but Johns BSR tires, you can look them up online has modern wheels that can be mounted to either 3 or two bolt. plus I think its a bonus they look very 90's ;) good luck though, and I hope it all works out well...
Many years ago I almost considered buying this car purely from an advertisment clipping I had glued into my scrap book when i was a young teen.
I was saving up for my first real r/c buggy (Kyosho OPTIMA) and kinda glad i held it out.
Years later Ive...

Yep. These little cars get moving alright with a brushless.
They do have plastic shafts which do wear out if you leave the rear as standard.
I installed some screws to lower the rear end which levels the shafts a bit.
That helped a lot. Also the...
Not sure if this topic belongs here as it isn't really a vintage car... but my [url= FF buggy was discussed in a thread here so I thought I'd just continue that trend - mods please move this if it belongs somewhere else? Thanks.

That is a nice car. I would love to hold it in my hands and drool over it :)
This is probably one of the most elusive cars. I got it NIB on the bay for less than USD$200 and it came with a Trinity motor NIB :) Interestingly, this RCL company dropped dead after may be two cars: the incident and the incident pro. They just get...
This 1/12 was made by Masami's father. The chassis came from ABC hobby. I remember, i have seen this car in around 1986 or 1987 in the Japan National 1/12 Championship.

Tiger1, I can't find any article or related materials on the ABC Piste and its development nor much material on Masami's handmade ABC 1/12th. A very good example is the current 1/12th Team Associated rc12R5.1 vrs Yokomo's R12. Although they are two...

Well I guess I'll have to see what's in those boxes when I return from Iraq. Cris did tell me that there are many parts, rims and bodies. Hopefully they are in good shape to where I can wrap them or something. And trust me, as soon as I get to NY,...
I have received an Agitator car, and need some info as to the rear pod set-up, I am missing the shock mounts for the pod and the shocks. Did the car use the big delta shocks, and was there an optional carbon fiber chassis (including pod plates)?...

I've seen some pics of a hirobo with an ultima motorplate to make it mid-moter. Probably a better option for me to try as I have plenty ultima parts at hand and it does allow the moter to sit lower

The kit contained 8 foam tires, 4 tracks, replacement rear suspension arms and chaindrive.
