Hoping someone can I.D. the four gold shocks on the left. The two red ones on the right are kyosho shocks, one front and one rear, like you would find on a javelin, optima, ultima. The gold shocks are all a medium length and at first look appear to be the same as the red ones, but with bleeder screws. On close inspection, they are just a little different.

Also Kyosho shocks. Used on cars like the Gallop, and Pegasus or Icarus.

I thought the Gallop shocks had a silver body. They do look the same though from the pictures I looked at. Maybe Gallop MK2?

I recently dug up this blue anodized, front aluminum spindle and carrier. It is identical in looks and dimensions to the standard spindle and carrier on a Losi LXT, except that the width is about 1 mm too wide to fit in the A-arm. What could this fit? Thanks for any input!

It looks like it's aftermarket for a Traxxas vehicle before the hex front axles. Maybe SRT or Nitro Rustler?
Hope you're doin' something fun.

I could be wrong but I think I recognize that three-screw arrangement and steel hub assembly. It looks like a diff from a CW Dominator. Not sure if that's where the design originated though. I believe many of that car's parts came from Yokomo. Of course the diff assembly in my Dom is fitted with a sprocket not a gear since it's chain drive. Is it possible that same assembly was also used in CW's direct-drive 2wd cars as well?

Well, here's an incredibly crappy pic of one of my diffs. I'm sure yours is the same although yours appears to be missing the rings.
