Chassis and nerf bar ID

Post by Meakz1973 »

Hi All,
I recently picked up a nicely hopped up MIP SRB which is added to the list of my projects.
I don’t recognize the nerf bars or chassis plate. The nerfs have an additional section of tubing that is different from others I’ve seen.
Can anyone help ID these parts please?

Scootmike would know which one it is, check with him if nobody else identifies it.

The nerf bars look like ARS.

Still clueless on the chassis though!

Rather than start a new thread I’m adding photos of an RCH wing I’ve had for a while. Does anyone know if this was originally made for the SRB or another car? It will end up on a SRB project either way!

I'm no SRB expert but the chassis looks like it was designed to be used with the trailing arm kit , on the stock chassis there's no extended sides to mount the arms on , if it's an MIP trailing arm kit then it's probably an MIP chassis as well , only a guess .
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.

It has been designed to work with trailing arms, but I don't think it's MIP. The only MIP chassis I have seen is the 4x and also I have one in classic butterfly style with MIP sticker on it that is in Race Prep packaging.
I'm still curious about the RCH wing too, can't place it.

It looks like an taipan chassis to me.

I didn't know that there was a taipan specific chassis. I thought that an MIP chassis was used for the Taipan.

Wings were not designed for any one specific car, as much as for the RCH modified Rough Rider cars.
