bsy2010 218 Posted May 19, 2015 This is a Team Associated RC12E, introduced 1978. They even have the manual still online Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Backlash 481 Posted May 19, 2015 It looks like an RC12e to me.. From the late 70's... http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=22071 Very cool car due to its racing pedigree, but unfortunately like most Associated race cars, they are not as popular with collectors as say Tamiya, and just don't command the high prices either.. That said, I would be happy to have it in my collection.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WillyChang 1814 Posted May 19, 2015 I know this is a Very Early Team Associated but apart from that I know next to nothing about it ,Year,Model,Collectability ? Yup RC12e, we raced then BiTD - nice to see yours is complete with Reedy 05 motor, Parma wiperarm MSC and period Futaba gear body is Ferrari Boxer? Guess you're missing the Saft stick pack. There's active following over at RC10talk. Collectable for being AE's 1st 1/12th chassis, but last one i sold fetched only about $100. Low parts count so they're easy to restore, bit of polishing should remove the rust. There's a fair bit of hopup options when new, from lightweight chassis/screws/radiodeck to ball diff vs solid axle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swarm 242 Posted June 2, 2015 Thanks for the help guys in identifying this model . With a little bit of a clean up I believe it will come up a treat . Cheers Stuart Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
