This site is in Japanese but is easy to browse from the menu on the right.
It has hundreds of crisp body-off pics of about every vintage electric powered 12th scale pan car you can whish for;

They're high among my favourites too.
Pitty I never came accross one in Japan.
(I once found a second hander 1/10th tourer from them and should have gotten it as the design was pretty original too. But as I was looking for a runner with spare parts that can actually be found without too much trouble... I left this one on the shelves of the shop.)

yeah abc is an interesting brand. almost unheard of in the usa.
i run a 1/12 4wd genetic and it's by far the fastest car in our 4wd mini open class, with a 17.5 compared to the vxl beasts.
the best part is no one knows what it is and they joked about it, called it a wonton, now they all know it well and respect it.
i've been tech'd quite a few times, guys were convinced i'm cheating, nope i don't cheat.
box stock it's just glued to the track. i'd love to get into some of their old stuff.

Yes, very cool. Wonder if that is how the Japanese version came stock out of the box?

It surprises me that he's missing one of the most important 1/12th scale cars ever, the Schumacher C-Car. It was the car that the PK Corally was based on. They hardly ever show up for sale nowadays...probably why it's not currenntly in his collection...

Wellcome to the forum.
The answer to your question has been given by the others. Don't be offended by the tone please: it's just that we prefer to see contributing members rather than door-to-door sales guys.
So I hope you can tell us a couple of interesting things about the old cars, and then later you can do business; sell or trade, or even buy
(PS: I appreciate you didn't just throw something up for sale in this thread but had the good manners to ask first)
