No I won´t run them. I´m just glad I got these cars but we have no classics racing here. Also 1/12th racing is very limited to just a few races and will stop now as the outdoor season will begin.
If I race 1/12th then this is with my BMI DB12RR, all other cars are just for the shelf and enjoying what had been engineered in the past.

Bakaguyjean - I have the body shell for the Ashura. Its painted and decaled and in fair to good condition. If someone can tell me how to back pour the body without damaging it, I'd be willing to give it a try to get a mold for new vac forms.
Here'a pic off the net.

Here are some pictures of Bud's Parma Euro Panther that won the 84 stock worlds. I picked it from Bud in Dec of 09 for my collection. along with the car bud sent me some Photo copied articales and the acutal timing computer print out from the 84 worlds A Main. I think the 84 world was the first time they used the computer to count laps. Here are some pictures of the car.

I let go of my rc12L club racer 8 - 9 years ago for $50.

Older GTP bodies beat today's 1/12 bodies hands down.

I have a couple of brand new Sarak Toj bodyshells that I was going to try out on my car this weekend. I'll let you know who it goes! Oh, and if anyone's intrested in trying one out for themselves, call Wim at Action Model Centre here in the UK, as he has a big stack of them in his van! Cheers, Chris.

A few years ago I tried a Nissan P35 back to back with a Speed12. I wasn't even funny, I didn't run the whole 8 minutes with the P35 and pulled out early.
But boy was there room under the nissan shell with a neat and tidy radio setup done for the speed12 !
I do like the old looks, though. I have a grey Jerobee chassis that I totally hacked when I was kid ( no idea what I was doing back then).It has a overhanging motor behind the rear axle, and no diff . Spur is 32dp.
I'll eventually renew it a little and run it since it's far from a shelf queen and I have lots of glued tires for the car. I got it with machined aluminium rear wheels, they bend easily but look super cool. I'll be sure to post pictures here when(if) I ever get a digital camera.
