Hi,
II am 42 and I live in Italy.
I run my first 1/12 race i '81, with a SG prototype. Then i race with:
Lexan Gemini (by Phil Greeno)
Schumacher C Car (and B car, the first revolution)
Parma (similar to Delta), i dont remember car's name
and finally...Asso RC 12L: I buy them personally in Pomona (LA) with all Losi Hop Up's
Many years later, i buy a Kawada, then a RC 12L3 and now a RC 12L4.
I remember I usually modified igaraschi motor with special endbell with "slot's" brush and springs, i remember my first ESC (by simprop, without mosfets), i remember the first Delta Peack Battery charge from Delta.
Now i race also with 1/10 touring, brushless motors ecc ecc., but the years of "early race" was the better
At this
link you can see some video (1/12 class is on last three) from last indoor race at my local club
