IIR, the "old school" front end was designed/developed by one Gil Losi. This was supposedly the reason for the "L" on RC12L
If I'm not mistaken, the first reactive caster car was one of the Trinity (Switchblade?).

Actually, the "Old School" front end was developed by Curtis Hustings of Associated. Their 12e, which was released in 1978, had the old school front end on it. The "L" in 12L stands for Cliff Lett who worked for Associated at the time and did a lot of the design and development work for Associated along with Curtis. I don't think Losi was involved with RC cars in 1978. That's almost thirty years ago!!!!! Yikes!
