Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
AYK Viper? I'm not sure...
http://www.shopgoodwill.com/viewItem.asp?ItemID=13565994
Not as many people know about the "shopgoodwill" site as do ebay, but lately R/C stuff has been going for way too high numbers on there. I pulled some gems off there back in the day before it was as well known. I think the link is a Viper, but I could be wrong. The $ it's at already is crazy though given the site its on.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Looks like a Viper to me. Pricing on them tends to get a little crazy!

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
I got this one cleaned up and found a few oddities with it. Did CC ever change the steering arrangement? This one puts the bellcranks way out at the edge. The countersunk holes look proper also, not countersunk with a drill bit or 82degree bit like most home jobs would be.gomachv wrote:I am sure this is a home job, but just in case....what is it! Lol
Anyone know why they would have done this?

It wouldn't surprise me if it came from the slot car industry. They had some interesting heat sinks

I think they put wide kickup bellcrank holes in a standard kickup chassis...... by accident..... maybe. I don't think that's the only one I've seen like it though.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
I ended up with a worn set similar to those for the Optima (62.5mm from pin-to-pin), but the balls were green. But the real question is, did they ever make blue balls?j-sou wrote:Who used plastic ends on their dog bones?
