Thanks scr8p...the "newer" car I've had for a while, although I did clean off all the servo tape goo on it... :lol: I'm on this weird AE 1/12th roll right now...look for some really boring pics of my 1/12 AE "alphabet" collection in the next week or so (I'm still waiting on one car to have the full lineup).

Stupid toy cars... :P

The Associated 1/12th alphabet is "E", "i", "i/S", "i/M", "L", "LW", "LS", "LC" ... and then some others that don't count; L3, L3O, L4, L4O... :shock: Caps and lower case are as listed by Associated... :wink:

I believe the correct terminology is "i/M" if you're referring to the mono shock car. "i/S" is the coil spring kit. I'm going by the factory parts catalogs... one advantage of not having everything sealed NIB... :wink:

I have about 60% of an i/M... how's the list coming. :?:

E = Electric
i = Independent
i/S = Independent Spring
i/M = Independent Monoshock
L = Losi
LW = Worlds
LS = Suspension
LC = Cliff?

Since we're digging up old threads here's a little update with a shout-out to mach10_shooter for the awesome factory paint body. I'm pretty stoked, thanks dude!. Finally I'm getting some bodies together for the li'l guys. 8)

Saturday morning and I'm bored, so I thought I'd dig through the on-road forum and everytime I see this car I'm amazed how good it cleaned up. Your collection of little ones deserves to have a thread just there own. Maybe you've done it and I'll find it in a while but I really like the 12e, i, l, lw, etc.

That's a really sweet car. I've been using this thread and others for reference. Seeing that battery gives me an idea.
