I'd really like to thank Incredible_Serious for sending to France some tires for my car, without taking advantage of the fact that these vintage part are hard to find.
That's incredibly cool.

Yes, but I'd like to be sure a 3 bolt hub axle can fit the old RC12LW...

Well, after some fun on carpet tracks and even on asphalt (it was really great), the original tires of my RC12LW are now dead and it's time to find a way to replace it. First idea is to find tires that could fit the original AE wheels. A friend at the track took some measurements and told me Tamiya ...

This morning, my RC12LW made its first ride on carpet, almost 30 years after I bought it. 8) It was so great. First try was a failure, it was like doing ice-skating, but then, a club mate put tire additive on all wheels and everything went OK. rc12-7-mini.JPG RC12-8-mini.JPG Awesome!!! Sounds like ...

Thanks everybody. 8) It seems that several options are possible. if you can cut it on paper from a scan then it could be applied with latex if your careful , then it could easily be peeled . Do you have a link to show me the latex you're talking about? :wink: One of the Cricut material options is su...

Thanks. My wife told me she has a friend who have a machine like this and showed me what she did with thick paper. It could be a good idea if it’s possible to work with masking tape.

The TBG Nissan GTP body is now cut, unfortunately, the rear body posts are too short (I trimmed it for the Trinity body, which is lower). I have to find new ones... Originals white body nylon posts seem to be unobtainium (or very expensive), so I presume I'll have to buy something made for another c...

I forgot what was the body I bought in the 90's for my RC12, but thanks to the forum, I found the answer and discovered that it has been reproduced.
So I decided to buy a TBG Nissan GTP Type2:

Congratulations, Dirtburner.

Thanks. I'll check that.

Thats is a very curious car, you have a rc12ls but it never cane in fiberglass I believe only graphite. That is a very interesting car. Well, I think I found some clues about my car (which have a RC12LW front end but a chassis with "ears", like the RC12LS). I found an scan of Radio Race C...

My RC12LW uses E-clips to mount the front wheels, but I saw pictures of vintage RC12 with nuts on front wheels (which I find more clever). Is it DIY or was it an option offered by some manufacturers back in the days?

Beautiful car! 8) What's the 3 bolt rear axle you're using? The axle is just a typical rc12l3 axle, its not era correct as the axle came out after this model but i want to use the yokomo wheels bad😉. Thanks. :wink: It's easier to find 3 bolts wheels, these days. I like your threaded front axles, to...

My RC12LW. Bought in 1993 when I was 16, never used then because there was not track for her, forsaken in parents' cellar when I stopped RC, she survived a flood before being rediscovered in my attic in 2021, which leads me to restart this hobby. Now, she's enjoying the local carpet track. Better la...
