My still virginal RC12i/S. Spring kingpins, rear ride height adjuster, differential version, circa 1983. Kit 4016, which came with AE 05 "stock" motor and Sanyo 1200SCR battery. They're sitting in my 12e... :roll:

The Delta Super phaser arrived. It is pretty cool. 8) The red is overspray, and seems to be regular old enamel. No match for our good friend Mr. Acetone. :wink:

I'll guess this might clean up real nice. I also came with a clean but painted Zakspeed Mustang IMSA body, not sure if I'm too excited about it, but it's one less body to paint... :roll:

Not one scratch on the bottom, the screws are really funny, the slots fit a nickel perfectly. Maybe there's some special "micro dzus" tool for these?

:shock:

You could have fielded an entire 1/12th team... :wink:

Did you ever open any of them? Those look like the kits complete with radio.

Made some progress on the Delta thanks to some lucky ebaying. Delta (or TRC?) red wheels and another NES1A servo for the steering. Still need to do a complete disassembly, rebuild the shock, polish the alloy parts, etc. It does look pretty good now IMHO... 8)

Just a FYI: replacing servo wiring harnesses isn't too difficult... this steering servo had a JR harness, I replaced it with a NOS Futaba G harness without much difficulty. :wink:

the NOVAK old school servos are SWEET, like the rest of the car by the way, though I'm an off-road rider :D

I'm also an off-roader, but I also appreciate the the little on road guys. Those Novak servos are probably not the best off-road... :wink: :lol:

Thanks for the compliment. 8) I'll get back on some truck and buggy projects soon.
