I have a diff very similar to this in both of my RC12E's. Does anybody have any suggestions on cleaning and lubing it?

I ended up removing the complete original RC12E radio plate and making a new one out of white styrene. I also removed the Reedy Modified motor that's been in it since 1980 and put it away as well. I installed a new metal gear servo, 13 turn modifed brushed motor, and a 320 amp brushed esc. At this p...

For this particular car I'm deciding to stay with a brushed setup. I've got an extra E pan with a sprung 12L front end on it that I might try going brushless on in the near future.

I'm not trying to build a competitive car, just something that to have fun with and get that WTF factor when I pop the body off at the track. Phin, this car currently does not have an esc, it has a resistor that only works at full speed.

I do have access to a couple of tracks at a local hobby shop to run it at. A couple of guys that I work with are building drift cars with a brushless and 2s 7.4 volt lipo batteries that look no bigger than the closed bell 540 Reedy modified and the sanyo battery pack that are currently in it.

I have a pair of RC12E cars that my dad raced from 1979 to 1981. They were modifed, tweaked and upgraded as he kept them competitive for the local race circuit. I'm in the process of cleaning them up after all of these years of storage and I'm thinking about swapping in a brushless motor, a modern r...

Nice build, giving me the inspiration and direction I need to bring back my dad's RC12E fastback Corvette team cars that he campaigned from 1979 to 1981.
