I'll take some pictures of the front end and post them if you promise not to tell me why it can't possibly work.

O.D., The car worked great last weekend. I used the disc instead of rear tubes and the car was on pace w/my L4 the first time out.

Wow od you sure brought back some memories when you talk about the Aguirre brothers. Iam sure you remember Al Chuck, Darrell Empi (sp) from the Bay Area in the 80s. Iam not sure but the picture of the blue/orange car was Darrells trademark color combo, he did really nice paint jobs, usually won the Concours at most races. Does that happen to be one of his works of art? Bill

On shells what ever happened to the protoform peugoet 905 shell?
I alway wanted one but never was able to get hold of one was it a really bad shell to use I wish dale epp could do us some limited production runs of old shell I am sure some of use would rather race cars rather than thingies.

When I raced 1/12 and 1/10 pan in the late 80's and early 90's the cars looked like real cars (Nissan GTP, Jag XJ10/12, Porsche 962, etc. Now they look like charicatures. When I saw a Speed 12 body on display when I was checking out getting back into the hobby I had to ask about it--no way I figured that was a ROAR-legal body. Surprise.

I have no problem giving up some aero advantage. Anyone know where some "old school" bodies are still available?
What are some other good sources of 1/12th scale info? Websites, magazines, etc. (Already have the Lufaso link, thanks) I've started at the beginning of this thread and have gotten to page 36 or 37
I just bought a RC12L3... hasn't arrived yet. Looking forward to running 4 cell stock on indoor asphalt and/or carpet. Previous experience is in 1/10th electric and nitro TC.
Thanks

I've been waiting to see some info on the new Corally as well.
I am looking at getting another 12th scale to setup for brushless/19turn/mod depending on who I have to race with and I don't want to change out my Tfource to do it.
Plus it would be nice to just have something different to run.
EA it looks like you are coming to WOH this weekend, maybe I'll get a chance to meet you and some of the others on here.
