The Vintage 1/8 Onroad Thread

rear end is for a very rare MRP C510 !/8 on road pan car. PM me if its for sale

[V12]

Yes and no, but very close.
Indeed this rear end was used at the C510 also, MRPs first 1/8 road course car. But in this case the rear end came with an even older car, their very first RC car overall. Someone knows what this could be?
Sorry not for sale.

So here´s some wheels and spur questions

Natural colored nylon rims with quick release rears - Who made these and for what?

Next up is the spurs - I know that the "squashed" hex is PB but no clue on the rest.

The last two pictures are of the same

Any input appreciated.

[V12]

I think the wheels are for the Graupner Expert Speed car. Rear wheels are using a quick change system.
The white spur at 3rd/4th picture might be for the same car, for the early version with solid rear axle.

The black spur with square drive could be for a car with gear diff. Maybe SG? I don´t know really well for those cars, I´m more a Delta guy.

Many thanks for the inputs

I´ll post some bragging pictures of the PB´s when daylight allows.

Where are these PB's you mentioned DennisM?

Any info on these Titan chassis? Sounds like they were a rc100 copy with aluminum beam (by Marker?)

[oca1]

This is a picture of my Titan T-1 that has the later fiberglass chassis instead of the earlier aluminum chassis.

It looks like an RC200, but most of the parts are actually different. The wheels, rear bearing blocks, spur gear, flywheel, rear bumper, front steering knuckles, tie rod, body posts and chassis are all different from the RC200. I will take some close up pictures to show the differences.

Very nice, thank you

[reign79]

OCA1 your front end is on backwards!! Just a heads up I also have a Titan t1 but with the original aluminum chassis.

[GoMachV]

I thought that was an optical illusion

[oca1]

You are right Ryan, the front end is installed backwards and the fuel tank filler is mounted on he wrong side as well. This is how I received the car and plan to fix it when doing a full restoration. According to the previous owner, the G10 chassis is a Titan part and original to this car. Thanks.

[Puffdogg]

That's a seriously nice collection DennisM

I got this hybrid, front axle beam looks to be Titan, the chassis to maybe.
The rear is Carlsson Pro 80 and the radiotray is Delta.
It's built for ice racing.
