I'm buying this RC12LW and don't know much,if anything,about them,except that Associated ran them once in an IFMAR round in Singapore...Don't even know what year.
Dig that sweet,unmolested Novak 410MS ESC! :mrgreen: With all the origonal plugs! :mrgreen: A Slot Machine motor,too.
Can you say "Dry Rot"? :shock:

Nice, it's the fiberglass version. They seem to be a bit rarer than the carbon chassis. Foam tires really don't stand the test of time... :(

I think it's a nice score,especially for US$30.
Pity I just gave away a new HPI 1/12th pan car body I had lying around...Finally have a use for it,now.
So,the fibreglass cars were more scarce than the graphite ones?

From experience they might just be...I've had I think 8 of them over the last 5 years or so and they have all been the graphite ones. Usually all basket cases and now I think of it I mighta had one fiberglass one but don't remember for sure. Yours looks alot better than the one I got sitting in the parts bin :lol: ...

I just noticed it's a 12LS chassis, just missing the dynamic strut front end... The LS has the extra bumps in front for the body mounts.

In sweden we raced six cells indoors.
And yes its like driving an SAAB AERO flying very low....he he he

Still have my old L/LW/LS car left

it used to be an graphite L but the chassi broke so i bought an LW chassi insted and other parts to complete the transformation.
Then at an race i got my hands on an LS chassi cheap with strut susp and sanwa servo.

The last motor i ran in the car was an 12 singel with 6 cells panasonic ...it ran fast ...
