makeing a little progress on the 12I. this is one of MrLexans Datsun GTU bodies, as always its fantastic. I stole the decals out of a abc 510, now I am waiting on two packages in the mail and this car will be finished and runable.

Wow, nice job on that body Rick! What a difference a little paint makes.

thanks I only collect losi I raced onroad back when I raced

I have never had so much fun comeing in last but as you can see the car was assembled incorrectly so it was draging the ground the whole time. we discovered this just before the Main and Mark hooked me up with some taller front tires so it ran much better. but still not corectly. I wanted some last pick before I rip it apart and fix it right. I am thinking of dyeing the red parts black I am not fond of red, what does everyone think?

well after seeing all your bearrickster ive been thinking of starting my own 1/10 scale pan car the local town hall has put in a huge new lot and it is SMOOTH im a bit of a speed freak so im glad its a mega space any suggestions on a starter car

and its the taking part that counts

Paul

buy a modern touring car, I love these 10,12L's but the hunt for parts is getting to be a little much even for me. I was so mad I didnt think to grab my Losi XXX-S. there was a lot of gearbox cars running, they were a lot of fun.

so has the TC s taken the place of the pan cars ?

Paul

I would say so. the TC you can get any and everything for them. pan cars are banashed to the vintage races.

They still race 1/12th pan cars at Thunder every now and then. By far the popular class is Vintage T/A (4wd "spec" touring cars with old style bodies) and 1/10 4wd touring.

well I bought the lot in the buy section

I put togther a runner out of this lot. I used a MR-Lexan Kremer Porsche 935-K3 and a cool set of BBS wheels I got from Clinehobbies. just waiting on decals so I can laydown some paint

Is the left side of the pod machined out? Now that is someone who is dedicated to weight reduction!

yes it is, it was like that when I got it? I like it though its different. he did so good of a job I though it was stock at first. I cleanded it up some and redyed it black.
