RC12E Race Car

[pituk]

I picked this up a few days ago from Craiglist . It was simply titled Race Car , with no pictures and the description was "Associated 6 cell R/C car" . The car was located just a few minutes from work so I emailed the seller if may have a look at it on my way home . When she brought out the box , she told me it used to belong to her dad and that it's been sitting in the closet for several years . She was getting ready to throw it out when her brother recommended to put it on Craiglist in case anybody was interested . I'm really suprised the body survived because everything was just squished into the box .The Rc12e looks likes it in good condition just dusty and the controller looks new . What's cool to me is the stickers on the box , Hobby World . It was a hobby shop that was 5 minutes from my old house , remember walking up there all the time to buy models and watch them race in the parking lot when I was growing up .

Team Nats kit = weightsaver special edition probably pretty rare to find with the kit box. I saw one other sell this last year which was an "unassembled nib kit" on eBay and it went for about $390. Nice find!

Lovely car, and not to forget the Bantam servo!

It appears he has a 4 cell in it and an unused 6 cell, leads me to believe he wired it for 4 cell so please double check before you plug in a 6 cell.....would hate to see that old receiver and servos get smoked

Thanks for the great information guy's , I am unfamiliar with onroad but plan on trying to get it running again . Scanned some of the kit prices and part numbers , it's interesting to see how much the kit' cost then . I was unaware that assembled kit's were available .

I'd give you $149 for it even though yout missing the s20 servos lol!

Kent, did those servo savers on the box actually make it into production? Ive never seen them "in the wild"

[DHood]

Yes, Mine has the servo saver like the one on the box. I think only the very early kits had them

[GoMachV]

Cool, always wondered

WoW! That's an awesome find man! I can't wait to see this car cleaned up and running again. I'll have to start searching Craigs list now that I've seen this!

Yes, the original RC12e I bought had the Kydex servo saver.
