Looking to restore RC12e
Looking to restore RC12e
I am looking to restore my first RC car an RC12e that I originally purchased in 1981 or 1982. After racing it for a few years I put it on a shelf. I later decided to have some fun and tried running it with an Cox .049, what I didn't know was how big of a flywheel I needed so it ended up in a junk box in pieces without the chassis plate. Here is a shot of it in it's glory days.
What I am looking for is a photocopy of the chassis or the dimensions, I have G-10 or fiberglas for the job.
Thanks, Alex

Re: Looking to restore RC12e
I like it
I have a template, and a pin router. If you want to send me the material it only takes a few minutes to copy my template. For the upper, if you want a copy of that in g10 I can do that too, but i don't cut Kydex on my router
This was one of the first I cut

Looks fantastic!! But as I live in Canada it would be cheaper to send you the money for the materials and the shipping. Shipping one way would be enough of an expense. Thanks for the offer,

If you are up for the challenge I could scan it as a pdf and send it to you, but that's a lot of cutting a filing the old fashioned way!

I have never had a problem cutting or sanding, here is my last project I had the body but it didn't fit any chassis I had so I made one.

Re: Looking to restore RC12e
Very nice, I will scan the chassis when I have some time in the next few days. Feel free to remind me if I forget

Fantastic, Thanks! I was able to print off the photo's to the exact size first time. Now I can either measure or glue the photo to the G-10 directly.
