New RC12LW Graphite

Post by LTO_Dave »

I always wanted a fiberglass 12L as a kid but no tracks in my area raced 1/12 scale. Fast forward about 25 years and I finally picked up a sealed 12LW graphite kit. I need a 64-pitch spur and to trim a body and it will be finished.

- RCPS titanium steering kit
- Novak 410-HPc, NER-3FM, NES-1A & Rx micro pack
- Trinity Chris Doseck signature mod motor & Pushed Panasonic P-170's

Exceptional ! I don’t know how you constantly assemble top notch vehicles, you attention to detail is fantastic 8)
Who do you race for ?
Me……. I race for me.
That’s impossible, I was told you need a sponsor to race.

Thanks man! I've been focusing more on early 90's pan cars and less on most everything else.

Another awesome job! I'm kinda weird, I like the 32 pitch spurs on those. Not as practical for racing, but I like the look of it. Very nice! 8)

Do all of your awesome builds get their own electronics? If so, then you must have the world supply of Novak servos.

I try to use different electronics in each one, but sometimes it isn't always possible. I had to take the Rx pack out of my Dominator and the motor out of my Hurricane to put in the 12LW though. Luckily I found the servo and esc for a good deal, and I had the receiver saved for something like this.

Thanks! I like the 32-pitch gears on the 12e and 12i, and even the 12L. But I think the newer cars need 48 or 64-pitch to look correct. But that's just my opinion.

You have some impressive builds lately! It would be so tempting to give em a run just to break them in a bit! I want to get several more pan cars but had to hold off after looking at my workbench!🤔
