Optima chassis plates???

[Inevergrewup]

Found these in a box full of optima/ultima parts. Not really sure what they are. They fit the optima gearboxes but nowhere to mount motor. The plates with the breaks in them are next to re-re plates for reference. Does anyone know what these might be??? Thank you for any info you may have.

Sorry for the upside down pics. This is my first post.

Really interesting pieces. They look a lot like the hot trick ram parts to use a flat chassis plate but they aren’t them. I’m not sure who else did these. I’m pretty sure trinity used hot trick pieces as well. I’m also at a loss on the missing motor mount. There was a nitro conversion for optima but I’ve never seen pics. Wonder if that’s how they did it.

I was thinking mid motor, but nitro might be a possibility as well. The box these came from had quite a few aftermarket peices. I figured they were aftermarket for some type of mod. Thank you for reply.

Could they be beagle parts?

Could they be beagle parts?

That's what I was thinking; I seem to recall seeing those Beagle parts with the folded-over edges...I could be wrong though.

[Mr. ED]

I looked up pictures of the beagle and baja growler at one of the members site. I don't think they are. But I just had another idea to check: maybe it's hot trick stuff with the anodising removed... They used a flat chassis instead of the rails I believe so that'd make sense.

I appreciate the replies. I don't think I will ever use them. Thinking of putting them on Ebay.
