He painted a lot of custom bodies, did a great job with USA flags and candy apple red paint. I think one of his waving flag paint jobs is on one of Associated's gas kit boxes.

Didn't the weight saver 12E car come with a fiberglass radio tray?
Yeah the full weight saver had the fiberglass tray i believe this is the early version. I found some pics of your old car with this style i think i have a idea how it supposed to go As far as the Chuck august bodies i found a lady with a bunch of stuff and did a little sweet talking. I have 4 bodies total and a wing and about 20 driver figures i will have to post up the pics. She said she was about to throw away most the stuff
Looking good ryan. Where did you find that old servo saver? I have been looking for one like it for ever with no luck. cool radio gear. I cant wait for the next round of picutres.
Ok i went with my smaller fp-s20 servos much more room and finished up all the electronics. Powered it up and everything went great. Added rear mounts and hand bent all my steering linkage. I decided to paint the rims, rears not done yet Added my driver and mounted the body also got started on the diorama and painted one of my figures.

Those are what I was referring to, they well them retail as Roto-Zip branded parts.
I was fortunate to find this at a garage sale a very long time ago. I did go thru it about 7 years ago and serviced the diff cleaned the bearings and dressed up the motor. It is a runner.... although I don't run it.

Definitely a Schkee body but I'm not sure which manufacturer. They were made by MRP, Parma, Bolink and most likely more around the world. I don't remember any of them having front fender flares like yours.
I've had this for a while now, i was going to try and restore it, but i might just sell it as i have to many projects and not enough money, can some one please let me know what these are woth now
Cheers Rob

very nice 12E you have there.
what rc on road had the straight front axel? it looks like a minature rc10L with an aluminum straight front axel.
What straight/aluminum front axle, pictured above , are you talking about?
Is this an rc12E, or just a clone?
I kinda like the look of the body too: any ideas what it is?
I'm considering to buy this. Do current wheels and spurs still fit, or should I upgrade to another rear axle for that?
