Yes! I forgot about this, but fortunately I saved the ad on my pc:

flip, thanks for posting that, I was wondering what the gold stub axles I had laying around were...I thought titanium, they are really light.

EDIT: Sorry, I was thinking gold dogbones when you said axles.... :? Then I looked them up doh!

Well I've seen one now so it no longer qualifies as the rarest item.

Hmm, it kind of looks familiar to me though. So does the thin graphite bellcrank.

Nice, but those don't look familiar to me at all so can't be what I'm thinking of. ;)

If I've actually seen that chassis and those bellcranks somewhere before I'm sure I'll eventually come across them again.

Post some other pics of the entire chassis if you have them. I seem to remember the steering from somewhere...maybe a drag racing company like Lazerlite or Fine Design?

Sorry that was the only pic I saved from the auction and I don't have the link anymore. Unfortunately I can't remember what search I used to find the car and nothing I try is finding it. :?

Addendum: Fine Designs rings a bell.....I remember thinking something about the ad for the bellcranks was ironic and it might have been because of the name of the manufacturer. ;)
