Pink Panther Dirt Oval Steering Bellcranks

Post by Basher67 »

I couldn't help but show this abomination I just picked up in a collection. The pink panther driver was just too cool. Once You overlook the nightmare of a suspension geometry, there are some cool parts here. Novak servo, chassis that looks like the offspring of a pan car and a buggy, dirt oval type shock towers and a set of steering bellcranks that I've never seen before. Anyone recognize these? They appear to just clamp on to the pivot bearing.

+1.

The chassis is one of Composite Crafts and the towers are by JG.


Are those CKW tires in the background capped...and do you have the complete set? :wink: :wink:

I manage to dig up some decent old junk now and then. :lol: This Came with a recent collection along with that early Custom Works car and 5 others including a gold pan, a 10T, a corally SP12, a B2 and a bunch of NIP bodies and tires including a few sets of the CKW front and rear for the RC10. Like with most vintage collections, it takes me a few weeks to sort through it all and I.D. the stuff I don't recognize. These bellcranks were a mystery to me. I have a bunch of Lavco equipment and a couple of early tekin chargers to sort out tonight. Biggest thing for me was the Novak servos and a couple Track master direct drive transmissions, 1 in carbon fiber, and 1 in aluminum.

I'm definitely going to salvage the driver here when I scrap this body. I'll find him a new ride. The Pink Panther will live on! :lol:

plenty of potential there!

The Pink Panther driver just tops it off!

I'm surprised no one commented yet on the motor's "brushless Conversion". :lol:

Definitely an interesting time capsule. I'm coveting those rear tires (Proline Flat Stubbies I think). I have a set and they hook-up great on my track.

In those days, running brushless and pneumatic motor bearings were a speed secret. :wink:
