I found this at http://www.jerobee.com.
The last post is not so old and he states that he has lots of spareparts.
Worth looking in to ?

that poor Jerobee site...too bad about all the pr0n spam. there's some good stuff worth saving to your hard drive still.

Back to the topic...

Some progress after a little cleanup and parts swapping to get a little closer to a Ralph Burch Jr replica.

But first I bought another standard Lightning for next to nothing (sorry Bill) to rob a few parts from:

I don't know if the transcamarobird body is Parma or Associated... Jay?

And after a little cleanup and parts swapping it looks like:

Nothing that can't be fixed, but not really a priority.

And on to the RBJr car.

It features every lightweight item in the catalog except for a Delrin pinion gear. I'm still looking for that as well as a Parma lightweight throttle resistor.

It looks quite a bit different as compared to the car at the beginning of this thread.

Wild looking little cars, the wheels and bodies are especially nice.

here is my schkee lola porsche version i just got it off ebay it had the porsche stickers and associated so though it was a associated porsche, o well guess not. i mounted it on a very clean rc12 chassis and made new cut outs to fix the rear wheel wells. i think i might put some rivet stickers to make it like like its removable after i paint them red to match the body. o and remove the porsche stickers lol.

.........just something about them.

I don't exactly know what it is, must be the elegant simplicity. A bit of flexy plank with electrics and wheels, fine tuned to be a slot car with steering... and every manufacturer (and builder) put their own personal touches to the design making them all interesting.



OK, who's got an AE (or Bolink, or Leisure, or...?) "Group 12" spec car? I've got the 1980 catalog listing from Associated.

Darryn, I look forward to good news!

In 1980 I ran a Leisure electric in ROAR/Production class in So California and finished 5th in the state....at 11-12 years old.... Good times.
