restored 12e
just finished this little guy, i bought it for a good price from the uk it has the correct ferrari boxer 356gt body which im in the process of repainting + the box, the wheels are in very good condition (lucky),the original resistor was shagged so i replaced with the green one. motor is a edinger of coarse (id love the correct resistor and a new kydex plate + motor but good luck hey ) hope you all like it.. ....ps going from restoring a 1/8 vanning to this was a pleasure..

Looks like it came right out of the box, great work. I love the 12 series of onroad, do you race as well? Oh yeah, that body is smooth, I want to put one on my TC3

Re: restored 12e
Really sweet car, everything about it is cool. The wheels are especially clean as some get or were discolored(turn blotchy black) from the glue they used back them. I've got several 12i cars and the wheels are not as nice as yours this is really nice. I have the throttle control and mount nip which I just bought not too long ago off the bay. I have a use for them now at least I think, so for now theyr'e not available but another set might come up on ebay. Great find.

Re: restored 12e
The throttle control mount is available for jsoursbeck on ebay here is link but no resistor:

As far as the kydex maybe buy a sheet as close to the thickness and cut it out, it's on the bay also. Will only be shiny on 1 side.

Re: restored 12e
From the looks of it, you don't need a new body. It looks great!
I am not here cause I am playing photographer and on my mountain bike.
