As none of the car looks rusty I'm going to guess the engine is probably gummed up with old nitro fuel? If so, I've used a heat gun to get stuff soft enough to tear the engines down then cleaned up.LosiRacer1 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 31, 2021 10:32 amIt's siezed. Pulled the plug and I cant even get it to turn over.
Rest of the car seems to be in great shape.
So what did you get in the post today ???

I have added pulled the glow plug in the past and added some penatrating oil and added some through the exhaust port and let it sit and do its job.

RC12i from original owner. Not sure why I was the only bidder on this, but I am fine with it.

Looks like a honest car, should be a clean rebuild. Don’t see too many of the early cars compared to the late ones
Whenever i see shipping like this, I avoid even looking at the item.

Re: So what did you get in the post today ???
I have started asking the seller when I see crazy shipping. I think the 'bay calculator gets off, or sometimes sellers don't know how to set it up correctly. It showed as $39 shipping to me, and I am only three states away.
I ended up paying actual shipping, which was quite a bit less.I build RCs like people would have done back in the '90s ..................................... if they had 3D printers.

My first wooden RC car kit 
The parts appear to be WL Toys based. Interesting kit for sure. Rainy day build.

Re: So what did you get in the post today ???
I got a completely unnecessary rc10t2.
It came with a lot of extra stuff I was interested in. The truck has a thrashed chassis, but was part complete and a bit disassembled.
