Classic 1/12th
#992
Hi I just finished reading this thread and thought it was great.
I'm restoring a few RC12's an "E" an "L" and an "LW" I'd like to keep the original 2 bolt wheels on the "E" and "L" so, where can I get donuts and /or 2 bolt wheels? Also, if anyone has a box(es) of old bits floating around that they don't need and would part with, I'd be interested.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks
Bill

Some 2 bolt some 3 Bolt found reasonable donut and built a tyre lathe using my drill press. I wanted to set up a fast but neat class and what I came up with is this....
See what you think. Standard 540, brushed ESC, 2s2p 18650 cells. Enough grunt, good range, great racing.

I can remove for charging, keep spares and use them in many other objects.
18650 cells are the AA of the next generation. It's what runs a TESLA.
Even at 4C discharge they'll meet the 120W max of a 540 can easily and give good punch.
Given $100 for a used chassis, then a running car for less than $200 is easy and it's cheap to maintain, durable and tuneable.

Have you try with traction coumpound for carpet ?
The sun lotion is more for the asphalt .

Hey everyone...If anybody has a Corally G in decent condition floating around out there they would like to sell shoot me a pm. Was my first ever race grade rc car and wouldn't mind have one for a shelf queen. Don't want to pay an arm and a leg for it but would like a decent one with all the pieces there.
Thanks
Thanks

Anyone ever come across a Kyosho Plazma MK I? I've never even seen one of these, but I know it was produced. I have just about every other version of the car, but I'd love to know more about the original.

In response to Tracey Slatten;
Hi, not sure when you posted, but did you finish the car?
I think it must be a very early one as I only saw the silver rear pods on the late Panthers. I think Bud gave me one, but I only have the black ones now. All the Best

Here's a couple of pics of my Sarik Toj b'shell. I still have the driver figure, because you HAD to have a driver figure on your chassis if you used an open cockpit b'shell, like the Toj.
Here you go:
I will give it a run at Chesterfield this Sunday to compare it to an up to date b'shell.
Cheers,
Chris.

Just picked up a Trinity Reflex 12, with the blue chassis. The T-bar is really low, almost no flex before the edge of it hits the chassis. Was the car designed this way or has a previous owner tried to lower the roll center by trimming the pivot balls?
