so this one has been sitting and caught my eye so as if i didn't have enough builds The chassis is a factory lightweight carbon peice also the radio tray is a lighter fiberglass version. The wheels will be the standard rc12e wheels that bolink silkscreened there name on but i have turned them down a bit. The front rims i turned down on the lathe like Kent Clausens rc12i. Body is a bolink schkee also bolink diff and all new bolink hardware .

In the Southern Hemisphere the motor rotation is reversed by the polarity of the earth, so the motor is mounted on the other side of the chassis since it is technically running upside down to where it was designed.
BTW, I am not normally a Bolink fan at all, but this is pretty slick!

Holy Crap! I never even thought about that. I knew the toilet swirled the other way, but that just blew my mind a little...

So, this is one i am building to run... in fact it is going to be a back-up car for another unusual RC10 I am building for the UK Revival meeting over the summer. It therefore has a spattering of used and older parts, but will also have some nice...

Such a fun build to watch. When I was a kid, I was obsessed with weight reduction. I bought a red Blackfoot chassis for my Frog and proceeded to swiss cheese it. First curb I hit ended it's short life. Lesson learned early. That gold pan you have...
These MMS cars were quite a thing over in the UK, and having come across a few now, and having seen them in period UK racing mags being used by top drivers such as Jason Varley I always keep an eye out for them. A couple of months ago an online RC...

I actually cross-checked mine against a complete RC10 nose piece i have here and the angle is pretty much spot on. Considering how good Jamie was i bet he barely crashed with that car... although the whopping bumper added leverage i suppose!
Got this lightweight, left side wheel hub for the RC12E, RC12i or similar car but don´t know which brand this is. Someone has seen this before?

Not sure of brand but we just cut the factory hub down like that, I think I still have one in a parts box...also have a few MIP plastic diff side hubs for true lightweights...
Since I was switching out the outdrives in my RC10T4 FT from the regular units to the lightweight outdrives, I decided to weigh the three different AE outdrive options that were for the various versions of the B4, T4, SC10 and GT2.
Picked this up today with a small collection I bought. Any input from you guys would be great on this one. It came with a bunch of paperwork including the manual, newsletter, parts list, etc. All the dates are 1976. Does that ring true for the age...
