RC12 Restore / Tire Advice

Post by 80sRunner »

I've had this car sitting in a bin for 10+ years. It looks like it would be a fun car. The tires are spent; any ideas for replacement ones? I took a nylon brush to it, but I intend on tearing it down to rebuild it.

Any other advise on this car? It clearly needs tires, which is always an issue.

Thanks!

Todd must be bored, all the phone calls from the truckers bathrooms must have slowed up.


You could try CRC for 1/12 foam donuts

Yes, croc is what I was thinking but couldn't remember...or find.

Yes, best question though is why does Alex spend so much time in truck stop bathrooms :wink:

Depends on what you have laying around.
An old 1/10 Off Road Stock motor will send it down the road.
