rc12e - how to get started with it

^ yes that is correct. Red is middle. Signal is furthest away.

Did you get an answer to the Futaba G plug configuration question you posed earlier? This is what I believe it is. To be sure, though, just use an ohmmeter on the servo side.

I got an adapter that let me plug the older G servos into a modern receiver. The servos both worked, though I am not sure if they are old or if they were always so slow.

Looking at the body I saw a similar paint scheme on a 1/10 bolink prepainted body
Going through forum posts here I found

Does the body on my car look like the Bolink 2048 '75 camaro?

Body looks really good all polished up. Nice work! ...But it isn't a 2048 Camao:

Your body is a Firebird/Trans Am. I don't recall who made the body back in the day but TBG is currently reproducing it:

A couple originals have sold recently-ish, with one currently for sale:

The tires don't look too bad. I'm working on a similar restoration and would like suggestions on tire replacement options.

It was neat to see and build it.Mine had basically been run once, between the tires and the pan head screws the clearance is only a few mm.
