Interesting. Name on the chassis is "Tom Bowlin". Definitely a runner.

Something about the side pods makes me think it's a Hyperdrive. Never seen a car with a T-plate that long though.

The front end and other components are very reminiscent of CORALLY.

Maybe a bitsa - but pretty sure tis alot of corally there - or a copy cat.

I'm not sure that would fit in his pan car. :shock:

The fellow who posted these pics on another site thinks it's a Parma 1/8 scale. Always liked the idea of large scale pans. Whaddayathink?

Given that most new foam rears measure 2.5" in diameter, my rough measurement of the photo has the total length of the chassis at about 13 in. long.

The second car is a TRC Pro10 missing the rear shock.

Beautiful. I remember when the magazines were full of pan car reviews.

That front end looks something like that of a Schumacher 1/12 car

For the first car I have no clue what make this is. I also saw this picture at other forums and nobody did know anything on the car.
For the frontend it´s true this is the frontend from the old Schumacher C-Car 1/12th what I did run back in the days. But there are some changes here as changes to the rollbar location, different servo position and tierods. Also it seems to me there are longer frontsprings used as with the original Schumacher car.

The body from the second car is a HPI Jaguar if someone what´s knowing. Did work pretty good on my HPI RS10G.
