Hi Steve, I scanned the ad, and have it available as a PDF if you prefer. You would need to message me your email address. I will upload it here as a jpg for others to see. I also grabbed the great article George Siposs wrote in the copyright 1972 Model Car Racing book.

I had a look at my archive.
My personal timeline says 1971 for the RC1 and 1972 for the RC2. This is what I found a couple of years ago.
I have seen an original 1972 Associated Electrics catalog with two or three pages for slot racing stuff and one page for 1/8 scale. At this catalog the RC2 was mentioned also as the basic kit.
I also recorded one comment where the first RC1 kits were sold at a 1971 race in St. Louis. Just don´t remember the source.
Another 1973 catalog showed the first Lexan bodies. I remember that exactly because I own a 1973 Ferrari 312P body.
I will go ahead and keep the years the way they are, which is indefinite. Thanks very much for your help!

These scans are good enough. Thanks! I looked at your MyGarage link. All the docs, 1-sheets, and manuals you posted were done by me!

Good to hear those will work for ya Steve! Hope that’s ok I have those docs hosted there- I’ve found over the years that one source or another will tend to dry up then we lose these documents forever

I still have a few folders containing more old stuff I did. Did you ever hear about the CDs we put out containing almost all the docs we created?

I think all the material went on about 3-5 CDs before I made a DVD version. We discontinued it about 3 years ago.
