MAN - this would have to be one of the best finds I have EVER made. From an old friend and Ex-Racer I got a BRAND NEW built Associated RC300 - a PB-7 several awesome early 1/12th scale associated cars - including a rare front suspension 12i'S' 0 this one has a front monoshock..............will post them seperately - but what a great find!! The RC300 even has a SUPER RARE 4 BOLT head picco powerplant......Picco changed to a six bolt soon after because they developed that much power that the heads were cracking/blowing off!! OH yeah - also in the mix was THE original Bolink speedway car from the stand in the US when they were released all those years ago!!

Don't tell me you have never seen Charlie Brown cartoons..... It is more a jealous YUGH than anything else (ie. the RC300). %&$@#$&!@(&*$'#

Thanks guys - I am still a bit stunned to be honest..there is some real history there. Especially the Bolink speedway car - apparently it is THE actual first didplay car used at the display stand in states when it was released to the public - I will get the official word - but it is all very cool.....I race the Kysoho Evolva now - and to compare it to the cars we used to run like the PB7 and the RC300 is breathtaking !

I actually just this week finished a review on the RC12E. I used the race car from this find - and also built up 2 brand new 12E's from parts - including a super rare full house 'weightsaver package' package kit from Associated. I even managed to get an original lightweight axle.....I love 1/12th scale.
