Great build. Brought back memories of my very first rc12e I built and raced back in '83. Of course I was a kid then and couldn't afford the more expensive 12i and so felt like I was settling for the e and so I sold it as soon as I had enough money to "upgrade" to the i... Boy, I sure would love to have that car now!
Hopefully I'll have a few projects of my own soon. I'm looking to rebuild a couple of cars from my past. I'd like a 12e, 12i and RC10 gold chassis, but I'm really passionate about the old pan cars. I just purchased a 12i of epay a couple of days ago. Probably over paid for it, but it looks to be in pretty good shape, but we'll see when it gets here.
I've mentioned this a couple times in other threads but, my brother had been storing my childhood Blackfoot for the last 20 years or so and I just found out he had it about a year ago. Got it back from him last Thanksgiving and went over it to...
Yes, another of those middle aged guys with an itch to have some fun from his youth again. My parents shipped my my old box of RC stuff. I still remember the excitement when I got this baby back in 1986. 25 years later I'm probably just as excited....

It looks great!! Nice color on the body too... :D :D
Red: Metalic red from Pactra. I applied it heavier in the front than the back. That way when I backed it with black the red gets darker towards the back for a subtle color effect).

I stumbled across RC10talk and found it to be full of great information compared to some of the other sites. My search started as I got this bug of wanting a RC10 from my childhood. The infamous gold tub. I remember great times with...

Wow that's a clean shelf car for sure. You got a good deal, with original shell, driver and decal set. Awesome!
I was sorting through all the various things I have stored and came across my old rc-car. I have 2 (one was my brother's) RC10's with the gold tub. I think they are the Championship Edition from around '89-'90. Both cars are the same, with...

No and Yes.
the axles you show are front axles, and they won't fit the CVD.
these are B4 rears:
and the CVD's rebuilds look right.
You could also in theory just use the B4 axles with your existing dogbones if you wanted to get the car up and...
I first caught glimpse of the JrX2 in 1988 at the age of 13 when a kid roughly my age was running one up and down the street at my aunt's home. I was familiar with R/C at the time having received my first hobby grade vehicle in '86 as a Christmas...

I am pretty sure I have some NIP bellcranks. Hit me up with a PM and I am sure we can work something out.
They made it all the way out to Okinawa Japan today :) And there were even a couple bonus items; thanks a bunch!
Well here go's , I have carried this body around with me from move to move for the last 20 years. when I was about 11-13 age I raced at a small track at a nearby town and the owner was great with helping kids and letting us race with the big boys. I...

I prolly have most of the parts you need for the build. PM me and I'll see what I can do for you. :D
I bought a heavily modified and very well worn Scorpion and a good load of spares 1988, it was considered an old buggy at the time but it ran and I had fun with it. Eventually I broke a rear trailing arm and had no way of getting a new one so it...

Couldn't resist, £60 worth of Beetle sans shell but with original radio box cover, in much better nick than my own one saved from the 80's.
Good rear tires and rims, proper diff instead of spur gear. All plain bearing, missing front wheels but I...
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?
