Btw, i am not an expert, just observing🙂 I see that its setup with 4 cells and the Tekin ESC. Both the Tamiya Porsche 956 and my RC12L were assembled with 6 cells, and looking back at that, they almost seemed way too powerful. It was / is very easy to loop out with a careless pull of the throttle trigger. I recently installed a new mechanical ESC resistor on the Porsche 956. Set the height of the contacts etc...The action is very linear to full throttle and the brake works nicely as well. Again i have to be careful with the throttle trigger, too much brake and WAZOO! Full throttle reverse action kicks in and totally upsets the car, haha! That RC12L of yours should become an awesome vintage ride for you. Hope you have a great time doing it....freddy
