I'm contemplating the hub swap from the rear 2 - 3 bolt for more tire options.
I've been searching, but I really don't see much of those out there either besides the jaco prisms or whatever.
Can anyone point me in the right direction, even a search term will help. Thanks!
you need to upgrade to a rc12L3, rc12L4 or CRC carpet knife set up for the axle. and then just those tires are pretty much it I belive theirs not a lot of 1/12 out their any more.
Thanks for the advice! I'll look into the carpet knife option. One of my cars is already set-up with the larger 4 bolt hubs, but the right side sticks out mega far so I don't think I want to set the other cars up that way.
I did find another brand for the associated 3 hole, they're Parma PSE 1/12th's, but you're right there's not much out there. 2 brands are better than none - it seems there's nothing for the old 2 hole hubs besides rare old stock in random stores or individual collections.
I decided to convert to the Associated 3-bolt rears for 2 cars since it's the only viable options I seem to have with sourcing parts.
1 will be with the older style silver 3 bolt hubs etc (RC12LC4?) and the other will be the newer blue RC12R5.1 hubs etc.
Hopefully both will work good, but if only 1 or the other will work that's ok too I can live with that
Here's the combo I put together tonight with a new IRC axel and the the 3 bolt hubs I have. Seems to work ok at this point. I ordered the the matching blue right side and D-rings should be here any day.
Just wondering if anybody could point me in the right direction towards identifying What I just bought. I've been poking around a bit but that front body mount tab does not look like any of the rc12s i have seen so far. Rather green...

Definitely will be wanting a set. I'll pm you later.
For a long time I was looking for a good small buggy. Good means to me:
- Quality, can handle powerful motors
- Looks like a race car, not like a plastic toy
- Rear-motor, because mid-motor works good on carpet and...
I think this is some sort of RC12 but I'm not sure. It almost looks like an L30 but the chassis and rear upper deck doesn't match. Anybody know for sure what this is?

Composite Craft 12LW oval chassis at least that's my guess. Sheldon's Hobbies has it.
I have been sick as a dog the last few days and had some home time away from work while trying to get better! So I dug out the 3 RC12L's that I had got for free a few years ago, and now want to restore two queens and a runner! The two queens will be...

Been a long time since I worked on my 12's. Since the house fire, the 12's had been in storage with smoke, soot and rust damage, but now I have most of them restored. My RC12L glass car just got a nice set of Good Year decals for the tires and a...
Hey guys (and gals, if we have any)
Just a real quick question...what's the basic difference(s) between a 12l and a 12i?

Another way to see the various chassis plates through the life of the 12i. The left is the original with no springs for the suspension at the front and smaller cut outs for the rear suspension creating less rear flex, the second is the version that...
I was wondering if anyone knew what this car is. The tires and differential/axle are from my 12LW just to get it on wheels.
For the life of me, I haven't been able to find any information about this car.

Hrrm? I'm going to post ics in the thread I've got started. But; as I'm finding out as this progresses, they might even be parts i thought they were or are. With help I know they are not Bolink. But; after finding good era pics of Associated, I not...
