The Official "What is it?" Thread

Anyone recognize these? Rather, what vehicle they fell off of?
bushings, not bearings...
thanks

They look like late-model Traxxas parts. Maybe Slash or Bandit? I've (unfortunately) broken many outdrives like that on my Slash 4x4.

yep, tons of traxxas vehicles hawk2, rad2, bandit most of the 2wd newer ones.

Thanks guys. Sometimes I get a big box of just miscellaneous who-knows parts, with nothing specific like a body or chassis to give a quick clue. I was guessing it was something modern, but I'm not up on the current stuff so much. Learn a bit each day...

Watching a debate online on a Facebook RC page...they are trying to figure out just what this is.
It looks mostly toy grade, but there are a few parts that look like better quality, like you'd expect on a hobby grade.
Can't find any info on it myself online...
Just a curiosity thing on my part.

I bought a couple vintage parts from a hobby shop today. I need help from you guys to figure out exactly what parts they are.

Bag one looks like an RC10L front suspension rebuild kit? Part number 4111


Bag two looks like an original RC10 front suspension rebuild kit, part number 7240


thanks

First bag: front end to convert RC12L in LW

Second bag: Rebuild RC10 front end, right

[orangemazda]

Thanks for the response. Forgive me for the next question but I'm a bit uneducated when it comes to pan cars...

You said it was to convert an RC12L in LW? What does LW mean?

7240 is a truck front end rebuild kit
The 4111 is the front end used in the 12LW but the part number went much further back than that- back to the 12i series. First release of 12i had only two holes and no spring. Then two holes and spring which is this part number but running change. Then three holes and spring which is yours. Same as 10L also except springs were heavier on 10L. Here's the paperwork for it, you can see it references just two holes because it's for the earlier version. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4hnd1wJQLh5MWVTQk45TXItSnM

Someone have an idea which car uses those Parma 7011 rear pod plates?

Found this in a "old stuff box" of a hobby store - so Trinity should be the "Trinity"
The 30ml glass bottle "Trinity - The best of both worlds" contains a dark blue "water/oil" (didn`t open it), its plastic cap had a small brush inside... I tend to motorbearingoil, tyre cleaner, slot car stuff?

Maybe some of you have seen it before and could explain....


Thanks,

Robert

And another piece frome the "old stuff box"...

Could it be a Trinity "option house part" for a Kyosho Ultima (Pro) transmission case?


Thanks,
Robert

I have left such bottle from back in the early 1980s.
This stuff was used for painting armature blanks for preventing rust. And for a nicer look.
I remember Checkpoint and Trinity were the first to use such stuff at their modified motors. And yes this was used at slot motors before.

Thank you "V12" - I will fix the cracked plastic cap and will keep the bottle in the "good old stuff" corner
