I see 1/12th making a small comeback but not 1/10th. They are both the same with the 1/12th being a bit smaller so there is no need for 1/10th. The longer races and reduced speeds of 4 cell 1/12th also put it above 1/10th.
It much easier for a novice to drive Stock or 19T 4 cell 1/12th than 6 cells Stock 1/10th. A Stock motor 1/10th car on 6 cells is almost as fast as an Open Mod Sedan. This is too fast for novices.
We need to support 1/12th and let 1/10th Rest In Peace.

1981 the Schumacher XL with Lexan U-shape chassis was released
http://www.rccarmuseum.org/museum/files/lexan_c.html
two years later the Schumacher C-Car was released.

I think this was the first 1/12 car with independent front suspension

The C-car was so sweet. Loved that one.

The AE 12is was...uh...a short lived experiment. The standard 12i suspension was way better.
FYI...The Schumacher C front suspesnion still lives. It was the basis for Corally's front suspension system.

And yes I had Schumacher XL and C-Car, 12i and iS, AYK RX2000 before that some scratchbuild 1/12 cars afterwards ..... Long ago.
BTW the Schumacher XL and other Lexan cars were made for low grip indoor tracks primarely not for carpet.
Back to todays 1/12 cars.
Any pictures?
