Yeah, glass filled is always stiffer...wasn't a big noticeable difference in use though...

Just remembered I have an aluminum rear pod for the Tamiya Road Wizard/99t sold by Dan's RC Stuff. I think it's pretty rare since I haven't seen another outside of magazines.

I have a few items I would consider calling rare.

Firstly, the Brimod prototype car. It's 1 of 1.

The Pinkomo chassis set is certainly the only one I have ever seen, and the Concept Car 4wd RC10 is also one of only a couple I have seen. I have only seen one Supercharge Hotshot also.

The Brimod prototype shocks which were used on the Schumacher CAT SWB press car and on the boxart photograph. I only know of two full sets, both of which I own.

Then there's this...

I have some rare and unusual motors, prototypes and one-off experimental motors such as an aluminium wind Demon armature, a flat-sided hand made (I mean every component of the car and endbell) MG motor, and even a star wind 8.5turn armature.

CAT SWB&XL, Meteor (x3), RC10 custom, RC10 Graphite, Goldpan, 870c (x2), Works 91, Samurai, Pro Radiant (x2), Mini Mustang&Maxima, Mid Turbo, TOP Hybrid , Coyote, Hot Trick Optima, Supercharge, Brimod, 'Rory Cull' Hotshot, SRB.

This is sort of the rarest…this is a 1 of 1 (at the moment) Losi mini JRX2 rear shock tower made from iridium carbon fiber.
